I'm done yelling.

But dear God, people - have some sense and vote off Black Star.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Sorry, High and Dry.

 

[u2popmofo]

Crap, I don't know. I'm more sick of High and Dry and Fake Plastic than any of the others, but at the same time I feel bad voting them off.

 

[phanan]

Now it's time for Black Star.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Crap, I don't know. I'm more sick of High and Dry and Fake Plastic than any of the others, but at the same time I feel bad voting them off.

Same here. Gotta vote for something. As I said before, the rockers have always been my favorite Bends songs but I love them all.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

That's easy. Black Star.

 

[BoMac]

Black Star

 

[martha]

I'm a philistine, but I'm voting for Fake Plastic Trees.

 

[lazarus]

Street Spirit.

And yes, a vote for Fake Plastic Trees is a vote for philistinism.

One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.

 

[martha]

But I like Street Spirit better.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Black Star

 

[SeattleVertigo]

Yep -- Fake Plastic Trees is one of my all-time favorites.

 

[LemonMelon]

High And Dry. The lyrics are pretty cheesy. No one should touch FPT or Black Star.

 

[gump]

Street Spirit for me. The Bends is next.

 

[XHendrix24]

"Black Star" is possibly the best song on this album.

It's time for "High and Dry" to go. It's like "Fake Plastic Trees" except not as good.

P.S. And why is the title track still here, anyway? Next to go after "High and Dry" goes (hopefully).

Edit: Well, I just listened to the title track again and yeah, I can see why it's still here. "High and Dry" though? Seriously.

 

[DaveC]

"Black Star" is possibly the best song on this album.

It's time for "High and Dry" to go.

Fantastic joke!

 

[intedomine]

Street Spirit.

And yes, a vote for Fake Plastic Trees is a vote for philistinism.

One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.

I agree that Street Spirit should go, but Fake Plastic Trees is hardly worthy of such grandeur. It only stands out cause it's on a shite album.

 

[LemonMelon]

Fantastic joke!

What's wrong with Black Star? The majority here seem to think it hangs with the very best of the Bends. Explain yourself.

 

[Aygo]

"High And Dry", again.

It's so bland. There's nothing particularly special or interesting or different about it, especially in the context of music in 1995. It's not a terrible song, but one of the best on the Bends? Better than Just, Planet Telex, Street Spirit, and High and Dry? Give me an effin' break.

 

[xaviMF22]

 

[cdisantis83]

The Bends for me.

 

[tjames921]

Black Star...I like the song, just like the other songs better.

That's why I'm voting Black Star, too.

He's black? He's a star? I dunno. I just know it's referring to Black Star because xavi always votes the exact opposite of what I want him to.

 

[DrTeeth]

Hight and Dry
