#986. Lineage of Song: “One”

 

U2

Mary J. Blige


I used to have difficulty with this one mostly because Blige had U2 itself collaborating on her version. I guess I just wanted her to go at it on her own. But it’s still a great song, and I’m glad it happened.

Amazing song. Some say it's one of the best of its era. I don't even think it's the best on the album. That would be "Ultra Violet."

It’s my oldest brother’s favorite U2.

For me Achtung Baby is probably “Mysterious Ways.” I don’t really know when “Who’s Gonna Run Your Wild Horses” fell from grace, but the band doesn’t include it in their hits collections. I always liked that one. “The Fly” tends to be a kind of secret handshake for fans.
