Sunday, Bloody Sunday is the best U2 song ever
 

Sometimes you don't realise just how good a song really is until you hear someone cover it, like the different approach makes you take it less for granted.

I'm not really a fan of U2, especially not of Bono, but the bastard can write a great song when he gets the notion. Two things highlighted this for me: Johnny Cash's version of One, and Radiohead's cover of Sunday, Bloody Sunday. Far and away the two best U2 songs, the rest I can take or leave.

Sunday, Bloody Sunday is especially timeless, a comment that can be used for any tragedy, in any situation. Brilliant song.

In the top couple of U2 songs for sure.

Living End did a cover of it which I reckon is alright, bit different from the standard.

One is my favourite U2 song, that and With or Without You, just ahead of Sunday Bloody Sunday and Pride.

I'm pretty sure the Radiohead cover is just U2 with Bono whispering. Had the mp3 once. I'm sure it's possible, but Radiohead don't do covers very often. Cinnamon Girl and Rhinestone Cowboy are a few they have done.

I'm wondering that myself, but it does sound incredibly like Thom Yorke. Whatever, the point stands, Sunday, Bloody Sunday is the greatest U2 song by far. Even if it isn't a cover, it's a different take on it.

The Living End version is a bit terrible, though.

If radiohead covered it then they would have fuc</>ked it up ('cause they suck)

It is probably my all time favourite U2 song

I thought it was a great song when I first heard it. Now im a big fan of the Beautiful Day song. Thats my favorite U2 song. But I dont really listen to them all the time so I really dont count as much as the other fans do.

Yeah, it really gets across how much you hate sunday mornings.

I now have an urge to download some U2. :y:

ahahaha

Alan Partridge is the man.

By the way, nearly every other U2 song is forgettable, but One and Sunday, Bloody Sunday are magnificent.

Yes he is.

meh, it's good, but I hate U2. It's the only song they have that doesn't bore me to tears.

U2 is my fave Band. Sunday, Bloody Sunday is a top song for sure. With Or Without You is my fave song though. Baeutiful Day is second. i find it really hard to pick my faves...tehre are so many good ones.

Whoever mentions Beautiful Day positively deserves to be murdered.

Alan Partridge:love:

It's a good song....not one of my favourites but it's a good song

One and SBS are their top two songs.

With or Without You I like as well.

Their live versions are always ten times better in my opinion though.

LOL you just said it was your second favourite song

:shifty: I had a brain fart

Electrical Storm is up there too, but Sunday Bloody Sunday is an awesome song.
I like Lady With the Spinning Head and Beautiful Day in the top few.

Electrical Storm is fu</>cking terrible, as is Beautiful Day. The other one, I haven't heard it, but guessing from your track record, it's likely to be fu</>cking terrible.

U2 is one of Rolling Stone's top 50 Artist's of all time....so HA

"With Or Without You" is their best song IMO. I love that tune.

Sunday Bloody Sunday is probably the best song though by them

Sunday Bloody Sunday is my second favourite. But my favourite has got to be New Year's Day.
