Interference's Top U2 Songs (NLOTH Redux) Voting Thread

[elevated_u2_fan]

I love One Minute Warning I remember as a kid watching the anime Ghost in the Shell, and that song played over the credits, and when I read on the credits that the music was by U2 i was like WHAT !! ... it was certainly unlike any U2 I'd ever heard.

yes!

The end of One Minute Warning is sublime

YES!

and the double vocals in Being Born remind me a lot of it.

YES!

47. Sweetest Thing
48. The Unforgettable Fire
49. Discothèque
50. Love And Peace Or Else

Yeah, I'm kind of a sucker for the old U2-style. Only 2 songs in the top 10 that isn't from the '80s should mark that. Still, NLOTH is a big success for me, which grabs a few places right after the top 10. Not bad considering that U2 has been in the business since 1976.

 

[Native_Son]

Great work Irishteen! will complete mine when i get a chance

 

[zooropop40]

Love One minute warning !!!

and yes the first thing I though of when i heard the end vocals of Fez was OMW.

I think that song was definitely inspired by OMW. I love passengers!

Beach sequence, OMW, Slug, Your blue room, and Miss sarajevo are simply sublime!

I wrote down my favs from each album on paper and split them into three groups (represented by the two blank lines inserted above). I then typed them all into a word processor and went into the arduous task of ranking them 1-50. I still had nine songs left over at the end which made the final few selections quite a chore. Also, I found ranking the NLOTH songs this early on quite difficult as it usually takes me a few years to come to an internal consensus on each U2 album.

BTW, these songs just missed the cut:

White As Snow
Mofo
Crumbs From Your Table
Original of the Species
Paint it Black
Walk On
40
Zooropa
The Electric Co.

 

[SamuelSmeloc]

^^^ Excellent list!

Thank you!!!

 

[Irishteen]

35 lists in, one song just got its score over 1500

 

[Irishteen]

Just getting this back on the first page so people who still want to submit lists can see it

 

[Axver]

About how much longer do you plan to be accepting lists? I'm not quite sure I want to submit mine just yet.

 

[2861U2]

^ Still trying to decide how high up to place Stuck In A Moment, right? I understand.

 

[FitzChivalry]

I should have my list in within the next couple days. Don't close it yet, please.

 

[MMP]

35 lists in, one song just got its score over 1500

Not hard to imagine which one...

 

[Irishteen]

I haven't come up with a date yet but it won't be for a little while yet. When I close it, it will probably be a weekend, so a week minimum I'd say left

Not hard to imagine which one...

I know, Red Light winning by a mile

 

[Axver]

^ Still trying to decide how high up to place Stuck In A Moment, right? I understand.

Struggling over whether to place it 170th or 171st.

I haven't come up with a date yet but it won't be for a little while yet. When I close it, it will probably be a weekend, so a week minimum I'd say left

Ah, that's fine then.

I hate you for making me do that. These things will change. These walls that they put up to hold me back will fall down.

You might not understand, not being a hip American like myself. But that avatar of his? He's evil, John. No mistaking it.

It has something to do with one of those boring American sports right?
