Tribute albums can usually suck...unless, of course, certain artists perform on said album then it can significantly suck less. Case in point, down below you can check out Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode and The Killers all covering tracks from U2's Achtung Baby for AKH-toong BAY-bi Covered, the album that celebrates the 20th anniversary of U2's memorable album.
