this is very interesting, achtung baby sunk me into U2. def an album of the future when it dropped

Interesting song choice for Jack White. I'm really curious to hear how that turns out. The rest don't really thrill me. I like the Killers, but I think I can already imagine what their version of Ultraviolet will sound like.

I want to hear what Depeche and Glasvegas do with 2 of my faves from Achtung Baby.

[Preacher]

Wow, awesome. I can see totally see Jack White doing Love is Blindness. Not looking forward to Snow Patrol doing Mysterious Ways...
