Electrical Storm was struck by lightening in the last round. Or perhaps it was hit by something heavy as a truck. Regardless, it was eliminated. Six songs are left from the 2000s, competing for four songs in the 1990s/2000s quarterfinals. You have twenty-four hours to vote against your least favorite song.

No Line is my least favourite of what's left.

The two tracks here from NLOTH are great, and they're definitely my two favorite from that album...but I like everything else on the list better.
I'll toss a vote at MOS here. Sensational track, though.

COBL - Everything here stand up with 80s and 90s material for mine. COBl is a fantastic track, but hasn't aged as well as the others for mine. Its one I skip on live DVDs/CDs more often than not now.

In an attempt to keep The Ground Beneath Her Feet, I'm bandwagoning City Of Blinding Lights (instead of my natual vote for Kite). I'm okay with this as it's my second least remaining favorite and The Ground Beneath Her Feet is nearly perfection. Can't believe it's getting so many votes.

Ground Beneath Her Feet is a goner, but there really should be more votes for NLOTH and Kite Flying at this stage... And then you may just have the three best songs of the decade.

i think it's somewhat overrated.
NLOTH is a fantastic song esp that last version of the chorus that takes you up and out into that ineffable horizon
COBL almost always gives me a joyful, engergized feeling even more so than BD which does also....

Going with Cobl as it looks like the only shot to save TGBHF.

Any song with "feet" in the title needs to go, period.

If I'm honest, I think NLOTH is the weakest song left, but I still love it.

The organ riff, that little acoustic guitar part just before the song explodes with a fantastic guitar solo, reaching a beautiful crescendo and leading to one of the best endings they ever did. Great stuff. One of my favourite U2 tracks.
Agreed. I didn't hear the appeal. For what it's worth, I don't think City of Blinding Lights should be there either, unless it's an acoustic version.

What acoustic version?

I think he means that if there were an acoustic version... Personally I don't mind the album version too much these days. It's okay. Could be worse I guess.

it's bizarre how some amazing songs have been booted to keep it in...it's like having a plate of food, spotting a bit of undercooked chicken but throwing away all the tasty things instead...

Great analogy.Yes, I meant if there were an acoustic version. Bono oversings the song, IMO. It could do well with the sort of treatment Sunday Bloody Sunday got when Edge sang it acoustic at Popmart. Nuanced, light, and NOT yelling "time won't take the boy out of this man," which I feel is the lyrical highlight of the song.
That being said, it doesn't hold a candle to songs like Moment of Surrender or Beautiful Day.

But it's kind of slow and from an album I don't listen to that much!!
