Amanda Palmer's "Guitar Hero" would f-n rock...but some '70s Bowie - say, "Diamond Dogs" or something like that - would be the dream cover.

Here are 3 songs I'd love to see the lads do a version of:)

1.  Born To Run (Bruce Springsteen)
2.  The Scientist or Vive La Vide ( either Coldplay song)
3.  Space Oddity ( David Bowie)

This is a tough category. For me, I tried to select songs that were great but perhaps where the original artist or release did not get much credit.

[1] "World Turned Upside Down" - Updated by Billy Bragg in 1985 - a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxW5yvpeHg4
[2] "Where Is This Love" - The Payola$ - a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWYDVxIgA0M
[3] "Desperados Under The Eaves" - Warren Zevon a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnDobFz9q5k
[4] "For You" - Manfred Mann (covering Bruce Springsteen) a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfnQ1iv_lGo
[5] "Camera One" - Josh Joplin Group a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ql95SqtVlI

I love the song Don't Fear The Reaper and I've always thought Bono & Edge's voices would sound great on that.

A studio version of Heroes would probly suit them, but only with a younger Bono voice.
