Best Song Survivor: 1980s Semi Final III

[Axver]

Please vote for your LEAST FAVOURITE song.

Welcome to the third 1980s semi final in Best Song Survivor! The object of this game is to find Interference's favourite U2 song. To do so, songs will be eliminated album-by-album in 24 hour long rounds to leave the favourites to contest a final that will determine the very favourite. The top seven songs from this semi final will proceed to the grand final, where they will meet the top five nineties songs and top four 2000s songs. Only original U2 songs with official studio releases will compete. Due to dominating past tournaments and the inevitable likelihood that they will do the same this time, Where The Streets Have No Name and One are not in the tournament and can be assumed default equal #1 over and above the ultimate winner.

In the second semi-final, Out Of Control was eliminated.

In an ideal world, I'd vote AIWIY, but I'm voting TEC to protect Gloria, one of U2's most emphatically anthemic, joyous, exhilarating, brilliant songs.

TEC...but I'm with Axver, while AIWIY is a good song, the others here are better. However, AIWIY has no chance of being eliminated this round and would be a wasted vote.

 

[2861U2]

The Electric Co.

 

[An Cat Gav]

TEC, very harsh that one!

 

[nicv]

TEC to protect the rest.

Great song

 

[CTU2fan]

Bad again.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

New Year's Day again.

 

[Galeongirl]

I'm not wasting my vote just yet. I'll do anything to protect Gloria!

Probably have to vote TEC to do so though.

And if the mountain should crumble
Or disappear into the sea
Not a tear, no not I

Sorry...

 

[Purplereign]

The Electric Co to save The Unforgettable Fire

(that TUF has so many votes is, um, just a titchy bit sad )

 

[bono_212]

Ew, at least I wanted to vote for TEC anyways, but it being this close to TUF?

[the tourist]

Only 6 of these make it, huh?

 

[bono_212]

Only 6 of these make it, huh?

I thought 7?

 

[the tourist]

I think Axver was saying 13 in the final--one for each album (Passengers included). So 6 for the 80s, 4 for the 90s, and 3 for the 00s.

 

[bonocomet]

TEC
Great song but not really in the same league as the others

 

[the tourist]

Oh but I guess he says 7 at the beginning.... So I guess he changed his mind since a couple days ago.

 

[the tourist]

If I was to choose the 7 songs, they'd be everything but TEC and then either Gloria, A Sort Of Homecoming or One Tree Hill.

 

[Y2K]

The Unforgettable Fire. Please. Doesn't even compare to half of what is up there.
