text: a simple u2 trivia question? in u2's album vertigo, the band remade a song by a german band who were a massive success in the 70s & 80s. name this particular song & the german band. wow... you got me.  i didn't know that u2 even had an album called vertigo.  i know they have a song called vertigo, though.  are you sure on the album title?  ~~~~  okay thanks for the clarification - then that would be kraftwerk's "neon lights" - a better cover than omd did on "sugar tax", but still not as good as the original.  and i'd argue that kraftwerk are still a success with the sales of their latest album (and dbl-cd live album) and their sold out world tour as good examples. props to u2 for covering a true classic...
