Not bad though not as good as the original - probably had to be there to fully appreciate it

Love it! SP is Def a top 5 band for me and I loved them before I really got into u2.

That had to be a head scratcher for a lot of the fans. Zoo Station is not big in the collective memory.

Surprising to say the least - but love SP and love this version.

Thought the Birmingham version was a little sharper:

It’s the ideal U2 track for them to cover, like So Cruel for Depeche Mode.
"There's nothing wrong with U2. As far as I'm concerned, I've stolen from Larry Mullen's career for years. Without Larry, I wouldn't be able to stomp and sing, it'd be difficult. I mean I owe debts to the Bhundu Boys, Larry Mullen, Stewart Copeland. They're good players, and they're great songwriters" - Gary "Reni" Wren, drummer, The Stone Roses reunion press conference, 18/10/2011

"I'd just like to put on record that that's bobbins" - Ian Brown, singer, ditto
