U2's the single, greatest band in the universe......
Hell, I'd even love to see Raine hooking up to do a song with REM.
REM, now thats an idea.
I could see them doing The Great Beyond or Everybody Hurts. That would actually be excellent now that i think of it.
And as for Matt Good, they would have to do a new song or cover a song that they both enjoy. Damn, i know it will never happen, but jesus that would be one of the biggest highlights in music history, in my mind ofcourse.
I guess i am the only one who doesn't really like the whole U2 idea. I mean, it just seems like it wouldn't be too special. It's too... let's say... predictable.
And I personally feel that the Beatles are over rated. They have some good songs, but there have been bands out that have made just overall better songs than the beatles. Though, no band will ever be called better than The Beatles, at least not until every person living through the 60's-70's is long gone. The beatles just did something new. That is the only reason they are looked upon so highly. I may get heavily beaten for saying this, but I feel that:
Matthew Good Band
Our Lady Peace
Radiohead
Smashing Pumkins
Nirvana
Have all made songs better than the best Beatles' song. But ofcourse none of them with the exception of Nirvana will ever be considered to have done so. I think those 5 bands are probably in the top ten bands if not top five bands of the past decade. I do not look at a band's greatness as popularity. It is a very big shame that the US will never be blessed to hear the incredible insight of Matthew Good Band and old Our Lady Peace. I am still shocked that there is such a lack of appreciation towards Radiohead here in the US. I guess America's mass population will never look upon music as art instead of just 3 minutes of beats to dance and sing along to. I am just very perplexed on why people can't appreciate insightful lyrics and touching sounds. It's a very big shame.
