Best Song Survivor: 1980s Semifinal Round Five

[digitize]

Due to a tie, Running to Stand Still and Sunday Bloody Sunday were jointly eliminated in the last round. That leaves eight songs left competing for five slots in the final round. You have 24 hours to vote for your least favorite song, the next song to be eliminated from this contest. For anyone just joining us, rules may be found here.

Saving my vote to protect All I Want Is You.

 

[Galeongirl]

Yeah I'll agree with that. Must save AIWIY. Though if I had the vote it'd be ASOH.

 

[prbiker15]

I'll skip this round.

 

[lemonfly]

Time to bid adieu to AIWIY.

 

[LadySpinHead]

Need to save both AIWIY and ASOH. A tough mission. Right now I'd vote OTH, but I'll wait and see.

 

[Vlaco]

One Tree Hill.

 

[the tourist]

Those of us who want to save All I Want Is You need to pick something to bandwagon onto. I'd be okay bandwagoning onto One Tree Hill or Bad. As long as New Year's Day makes it and All I Want Is You isn't eliminated here, I'll be happy thought. So what say you who wish to save All I Want Is You?

 

[djerdap]

I say bye bye All I Want Is You.

 

[Mauwer]

Voted AIWIY to save ASOH and OTH

Cheers, Mauwer

What about ASOH?

I'm NOT voting for Bad, that's my number 2 song on this list. ASOH or OTH I'll be ok with.

 

[the tourist]

Of those three options, I lean the most toward One Tree Hill, which is a fine song, but one that I think is the most out of its league in present company. Plus of those three options, it has the most votes already. But I'll do whatever it takes to keep All I Want Is You here except voting for New Year's Day (those are probably my two current favorite U2 songs).

 

[LadySpinHead]

I won't vote for ASOH. I'd be ok putting our marbles together on OTH.

 

[Galeongirl]

Okay OTH it is then. Everyone wanting to save AIWIY go for it!

 

[the tourist]

Done and done.

 

[corianderstem]

I refuse to vote for any of these. I love them all.

 

[digitize]

For the record, I am changing my vote from New Year's Day to All I Want Is You in an effort to save One Tree Hill.

 

[bonocomet]

OTH in the effort to save AIWIY. OTH is a great song but if I had to name a fault it's Bono's screeching at the end of the album version. It makes my ears bleed every time, even on the remastered version lol. I endure it because the rest of the song is so good.

AIWIY is however my #5 on my list of 5 so if it goes I guess I'd be happy if 4 out of 5 get through.

Cheater!

 

[LemonMelon]

Are you fucking kidding me with this shit? OTH and All I Want Is You are going next?

I'm not voting. I can't even look.

 

[An Cat Gav]

Sorry Digitize, could you change my vote for Bad to All I wan Is You please?

 

[the tourist]

With all the votes for All I Want Is You, mrs. tourist wanted me to let you all know you're nuts.

 

[LemonMelon]

Thank you.

Where's the hive at??

 

[the tourist]

She said if she can remember her password, she'll log in tonight and vote!

 

[Galeongirl]

Thank feck AIWIY is surviving.

Why the hell is ASOH still here and AIWIY on the chopping bench? This is one of the most beautiful songs of the 80s!

 

[the tourist]

Well to be fair, A Sort Of Homecoming is an amazing and gorgeous song. But like I said earlier, All I Want Is You is probably my 2nd favorite U2 song. One Tree Hill probably isn't in my top 25.

 

[Galeongirl]

It's a great song, but compared to all the other songs here... it just doesn't fit in. I've never gotten the thing with OTH, good song, but yea, that's about it.

After those two are gone, I honestly have no clue what to vote for.

 

[LadySpinHead]

Actually, I'd throw AIWIY under a bus to save ASOH. And AIWIY was played at my wedding. So, yea.

 

[the tourist]

Both of those, plus everything left (aside from One Tree Hill) are in my top 15 U2 songs. If All I Want Is You stays and One Tree Hill is knocked out, the next round will probably be ther hardest in the whole game for me.

 

[Axver]

You monsters!

I was going to have a tough time tossing between Streets and AIWIY, but all this craziness of voting for U2's best song made the decision to vote AIWIY very easy.
