U2's cover of Springhill Mining Disaster (they didn't write the track, it was by Ewan MacColl with Peggy Seeger, later also covered by the Dubliners) can be found here:

"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

I went with RHMT but it's very close one. That is one of Bono's best ever vocals if you ask me even though of course he didn't write the track.

His voice was straight from the heavens
