Songs You Meet In U2 Heaven - Round 2: October

[BigMacPhisto]

Welcome once again to our U2 Hall of Fame where we induct the cornerstones of U2's sprawling, awe-inspiring catalog.

In our last election, voters declared The Electric Co. and I Will Follow to be up to our exacting standards.

Meanwhile, two other tracks returned this round thanks to high showings of support. The song that would be the band's first A-side, Out Of Control, and the now a hybrid track in our polls, An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart. With your help, they can clear the hurdle, giving Boy more representation in our project.

Remember, you can vote any way you please, hopefully keeping your standards consistent from one album to the next.

This round's ballot:

An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart
Fire
Gloria
I Fall Down
I Threw A Brick Through A Window
Is That All?
October
Out Of Control
Rejoice
Scarlet
Stranger In A Strange Land
Tomorrow
With A Shout (Jerusalem)

Another Time Another Place > Twilight
sadly it was also excluded

I vote 4 tracks per album and I think it's fair to vote for one from the previous album if I like it enough, so

Out of Control
Gloria
Rejoice
Fire
Tomorrow
