70% is necessary for induction. Will "Discotheque" make it?

25% is required to appear on our next ballot.

 

[nielsgov]

Can you vote twice?

Fez-Being Born just has to make it.

 

[God Part III]

Most important thing is Lemon and Ultraviolet.
Interference has failed miserably not letting them pass the first round. Both songs are clear masterpieces, career highlights, and feature in my personal top 5 U2 songs.

*high five*

At some points, Lemon and Ultraviolet have both been my favorite U2 songs... both easily stay in my top five.
