Songs You Meet In U2 Heaven - Round Five: The Unforgettable Fire

[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 11 O'Clock Tick Tock to be a superstar!

Meanwhile, four other tracks (A Celebration/Drowning Man/Out Of Control/Tomorrow) managed to stay above the 25% hurdle. Out Of Control actually gained over the previous two rounds, passing the 50% mark. So, if you're on the fence, give it a shove.

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

This Round's Ballot:

4th Of July
Bad
A Celebration
Drowning Man
Elvis Presley And America
Indian Summer Sky
MLK
Out Of Control
Pride
Promenade
A Sort Of Homecoming
Tomorrow
The Unforgettable Fire
Wire

Inductees:

11 O'Clock Tick Tock
The Electric Co.
Gloria
I Will Follow
New Year's Day
Sunday Bloody Sunday

Songs That Were Not Inducted But Managed To Stay On For More Than One Round:

Rejoice

Again, it's no longer eligible. It fell out after the third round. Perhaps you're copy/pasting from a previous thread? Wouldn't you be able to choose your favorites out of the fourteen eligibles I listed above without having to look at the chart?

More importantly, Tomorrow is currently sitting at 75% of the vote. The early posts always get me excited that we'll finally induct a holdover, yet they seem to drop off quickly thereafter.

A Sort Of Homecoming/Tomorrow - 7
Out Of Control/Wire - 5
A Celebration/Drowning Man - 3
Indian Summer Sky/Promenade - 2

Again, I strongly urge anybody who's a fan of Tomorrow or Out of Control to consider giving them your support if you're on the fence concerning whether or not they deserve such an honor.

Same can be said for a few others, but again, I'm dying to see a holdover make it through.
