Best Song Survivor: 1990s Quarterfinal Round One

[Axver]

I will be disgusted if LWTSH is ousted so early. It did quite well last time, I recall. I'd also like Dirty Day to linger a bit but I know its time is numbered. Overall an amazing bunch of songs here; not quite as strong as the eighties but still extremely impressive.

This round I've pretty much wasted my vote on One - it, UV, and Miss Sarajevo do not belong on this otherwise great selection of tracks. Expect I'll soon be switching to Miss Sarajevo to protect far superior songs though.

Screen names don't always involve a whole lot of serious thought.

 

[bonocomet]

To say that One does not belong on this list, or any list of U2's best songs, is just silly.







IMO, of course.

 

[LemonMelon]

Prediction of what will go through:

Zooropa
UTEOTW
The Fly
HMTMKMKM
One
Stay
Gone
Mofo
Lemon

 

[LadySpinHead]

Your screen name is based on what is, at very best, your 15th favourite song of 1 of 3 decades of U2 music?

Yep. Looks that way.

One and Miss Sarajevo do not belong on this otherwise great selection of tracks.

qft

 

[LemonMirrorSky]

Quoted for truth?? lol. You guys are so funny.

Voted Dirty Day to save LWTSH

Cheers, Mauwer

 

[Galeongirl]

Pff, I should've not wasted my vote on Please. sad to see how close this is.

 

[bonocomet]

TIE!



(would be good)

 

[Rhiannon64]

I really like LWTSH! I was just listening to it in the car the other night. What a fun song! Shame to see it go so soon

 

[PennyLanePHINS]

Yeah it is fun, love it too, but since it has elements of other songs it probably should.

 

[namkcuR]

You guys are completely nuts for voting LWTSH off.

If I had loaded this page up just a few minutes earlier, I would've voted for Dirty Day to save it.

 

[cleazer]

I think someone changed their vote from Miss Sarajevo to Dirty Day, so actually Dirty Day alone would be eliminated and LWTSH should get to live for one more round at least.

 

[GopherMacPhisto]

It's two for the price of 1!

Yeah they did, so I guess we get to spend another 24 hours voting off LWTSH.

 

[namkcuR]

Yes, that's right! I didn't realize that COBL's vote - which he changed to Dirty Day - hasn't been reflected in the poll, so the real final score is 18-17, and LWTSH lives on!

 

[intedomine]

And therein lies one of the main problems of enabling vote changing... Who knows how accurate the pie chart is, given some of the vote changes?! It makes it mighty hard to vote assuredly late in the round.

 

[cleazer]

If Larry With The Spinning Head survives, should we all vote for Miss Sarajevo to save it for one more round?

I like Miss Sarajevo, but this really is a best-of-the-best round. Its not in my top 8, so I wouldn't mind seeing it eliminated a tiny bit early.

Not if you look through the thread for vote changes. If you really care about voting strategically, it doesn't add that much extra work.

No.


















But for me, why worry about keeping it one more round when it's going to die a quick and painless death very soon anyway, up against some of U2's masterpieces.

LOL.
