Songs You Meet In U2 Heaven - Round Three: War

[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 Gloria to be of the most holiest and esteemed worthiness of our salvation.

Meanwhile, four other tracks from the same album (Fire/October/Rejoice/Tomorrow) managed to stay above the 25% hurdle, with Tomorrow nearly being elected. Leftovers from Boy (An Cat Dubh & Into The Heart/Out Of Control) also had very strong showings.

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

Out Of Control

C'mon guys, we need some Like a Song votes so it can at least be on next year's (album's?) ballot...

 

[BigMacPhisto]

Falling off the page, so I'm going to call this one.....NYD/SBS were well over the line and nothing else had a prayer of being voted into our shrine.
