Interference's Top 209 U2 Songs, The Results Thread!

[LemonMelon]

This was my #5

Had I made a list, it would have placed in my top 15, maybe top 10.

 

[Irishteen]

65. (87) When I Look At The World - 206.8

"proof that U2 got a tad self-indulgent with age."

64. (50) Tomorrow - 211.4

"Bono's anguished howls mar many a spot here, and are only saved when the Edge decides to throw him a line"

63. (65) Last Night On Earth - 214.5

"If OK Computer wouldn't have been released some months later, I would say this is a bad remix"

62. (-) I'll Go Crazy if I Don't Go Crazy Tonight - 224.8

"Generic to the extreme and very, very dull, I'd urge te band to put its carcass out of its misery and disband but good lord can you imagine the Bono solo record that would follow?"

61. (60) Do You Feel Loved - 228.2

"WTF is this garbage? Honestly I didn't like this at all. Leave the techno for The Prodigy, Bono! "

 

[Greatest Hits]

I'm assuming he forgot to count it last time but it did not show up in the final chart so either everybody hated the song or he forgot to add it to the final results, either way it's one of the highest new entries

I remember that, he forgot to count it, but added it after everyone noticed it was missing... It's probably somewhere at the end of the thread...

 

[Irishteen]

60. (41) Miss Sarajevo - 241.3

"This is pop/rock done wrong"

59. (-) Fez - Being Born - 246.9

"Tis NO MAN!! TIS A AMBIENT BOLLOCKS MACHINE!! ARR!! CAPTAIN ENO!! AAY AYY CAPTAIN!!"

58. (56) Staring At The Sun - 247.2

"I would have been better off literally staring at the sun. My ears have yet to forgive me. "

57. (37) The Electric Co. - 250.4

"Pop metal sucks and if I never would have listened to Metal than I would have actually liked these pieces of shit. "

56. (47) So Cruel - 250.7

"sounds like the kind of radio fodder that the Backstreet Boys would release. "
