Best Song Survivor: Achtung Baby Round VI

[Axver]

Please vote for your LEAST FAVOURITE song.

Welcome to the sixth round for Achtung Baby 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 four songs from this album will proceed to the 1990s semi-finals. 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 an extremely close tussle, Ultra Violet emerged as the last round's loser.

[Axver]

Mysterious Ways, both because it's my least favourite of the six here and because I want to protect Love Is Blindness. I'll be disappointed if LIB is ousted before the finals.

 

[theFly51]

I'm sticking with LIB

Everything remaining is just fine...MAYBE ZS next round if not voted off this time

I'm still refraining from voting...just can't bring myself to do it

[Irishteen]

My least favorite is Acrobat, but I'm going to hold off and see what I can bandwagon to save LIB.

 

[2861U2]

Hey GAF, I just noticed our contrasting avatars. *shakes fist*

Ha, yeah. But Chicago baseball is better than any other baseball. At least you've got the right city.

 

[dan_smee]

The Fly...a single...but I boring single?

No

Boring in the sense that we've heard it a bijillion times, and it has therefore declined in interest relative to classics liek Acrobat

Got ya...

I'm one of those kind of fans who likes the gems over the singles...

 

[Axver]

I can't say I've once heard The Fly on the radio in the last 10-15 years. Overplayed? No, that's MW and One, if we're talking Achtung singles exclusively.

Hence, I listen to The Fly when I want to hear it and it's both a single and a gem to me.

 

[LemonMelon]

Mysterious Ways, both because it's my least favourite of the six here and because I want to protect Love Is Blindness. I'll be disappointed if LIB is ousted before the finals.

Prepare to be disappointed. I would be stunned if it made it past Mysterious Ways and Zoo Station.

 

[The_Pac_Mule]

Acrobat. This thread made a little part of me die.

Yeah, sorry I was a bit harsh!

It is a great song, but I suppose my U2 upbringing, where I bought a few albums at a time and then introduced myself to them, I originally hit the immediate songs (mostly singles), and I guess the Fly was one of those. Just overplayed for ME, not necessarily on radio. Once I discovered the rest of the album, It has now become my 11th favourite on the album (ahead of TTTYAATW)

I heard Silver and Gold at the Gym yesterday...I literally stopped my treadmill to listen...made sure I wasn't just hearing things...

 

[ultraviolet7]

Sad to see UV go
This round MW gets the boot.

 

[OrARoundabout]

Yeah, sorry I was a bit harsh!

Not at all! LOLO, I didn't think ur comment was harsh in the least!

Apparently New Zealand radio used to play that a lot back in the day ... I don't remember it myself since I would've been too young, but my mother is a casual fan and she knows it well, recognised it straight away when I first played RAH - she was surprised that U2 don't play it live any more.

I love "Love Is Blindness", but I'll vote for this again.
