… that is the question.

Q: What song by another artist do you think U2 would cover well?
A: Whenever I hear “Now Or Never Now” by Metric, I have heard a great U2 cover alongside it in my mind.

Q: What U2 song do you think another band would cover well?
A: I’ve always thought “Stand Up Comedy” was U2 doing a poor Red Hot Chili Peppers cover. Where in my mind I can hear RHCP doing an above average version of SUC.

Q: What U2 song do you think another band would cover well?

A:  Been listening to some Maiden lately, so I'm back on my "U2 should cover Iron Maiden's Stranger In A Strange Land" kick. Also, I was just listening to Yes' Shoot High Aim Low, and I think U2 could get spooky ambient with that one.

A: here's a few...

The Unforgettable Fire done by Muse
There's lots of U2 songs that I'd love to hear Tool cover; today I'll pick Love And Peace Or Else over All I Want Is You
Mon Laferte doing One Tree Hill could be devastating
Rammstein doing Zooropa
Chris Stapleton doing SYCMIOYO

...and there's quite a few artists I'd like to see take a crack at The Ground Beneath Her Feet.

I’d like to hear Bob Marley cover Stuck in a Moment. And no, I don’t want to hear the AI version.

I think the 1984 U2 would do a a killer version of Once Upon a Time by Simple Minds. And Bono could do all the singing, including the female part.
A dangerous idea that almost makes sense...
