Best Song Survivor: All That You Can't Leave Behind Round I

[An Cat Gav]

ooookay. i don't know if it's because it's that weird time where the forums act freaky, but it's not letting me vote. it says i've already voted yet i'm not listed in the results or anything. i'll try again later, but in case it still doesn't work if you could add a vote for me for wild honey i'd appreciate it.

edit: it's showing up now, i guess it was delayed in showing up.

it's been doing that to me for the last month, every time that I vote, but later I can see that it has registered my vote.

what's at #'s 1, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 (just curious, I love the diversity of U2 fans, and someone who likes this album so much is a rare thing)

Kite's in my top ten, and Ground Beneath, WILATW, Stuck, BD and Walk On would all be in my top 50 I'd reckon.

 

[alanah]

Wow... it's my favorite U2 album, I love ATYCLB.

Grace gets my vote.

 

[Tyagu_Anaykus]

I don't like any song so... Can I vote for I all of them?
Only Beautiful Day can be saved from this mess, but only the live version. And Kite, too.

 

[cobl04]

I hope that for those of you lucky enough to be seeing U2 on this tour (at the moment anyway) that you get to see Kite live a la Fifth Leg Vertigo Tour. Unlikely, but it'll blow your mindholes.

I am disgusted that WILATW has votes and Stuck does not.

I actually like that song a lot. WILATW that is.

The only ones I really want to get the boot here are Grace, POE, Wild Honey, IALW.. New York too, though it was okay live it is boring on the album itself..

The only songs I really care about are Kite and TGBHF, and Walk On if it's the Halelujah/single version.

Yeah, WILATW is in the top two songs here. I can't believe people would be voting for it while Stuck, IALW, et al. are still here.

I don't have as much of a problem with Wild Honey as a lot of people here do, but it's not a very good song so I won't weep if it's eliminated early.

huh, how odd. i figured it was just me voting around the time the forums usually die for a couple minutes.

 

[Irishteen]

Peace on Earth but Grace can leave too, I'm not bothered


I'm actually incredibly surprised how well this album is doing on top 50 lists so far, after all the hate it gets it's doing fairly well overall. Maybe the haters just haven't submitted lists yet

I've seen option B on some forums before, but it's not available here.

It wouldn't be that difficult to make a little web application that would do that.

 

[major_panic]

Elevation. Which is closely tied to everything bar Kite, Walk on and WILATW.

 

[CTU2fan]

Walk On - 1, Beautiful Day - 1, Elevation - 6 (!). Seriously? The WORST songs on ATYCLB? Meanwhile Stuck, the obvious worst of the singles, still has 0 votes...

[SamuelSmeloc]

Grace.

 

[Mauwer]

Easy Voted POE , lyrics are ok but the song itself is even more worse than Grace or WH.

Cheers ,

Mauwer

 

[Purplereign]

. . .am still trying to figure out how Acrobat got ousted . . . .


Jumping on the Grace band wagon - the sentiment is gorgeous but the goosebumples factor is pretty much non-existent

 

[Bonogirl777]

^Totally agree.

 

[Vlaco]

Wild Honey, piece of crap.

 

[phanan]

Grace

 

[LemonMelon]

If One Step Closer is the soundtrack to a coma, Grace is the soundtrack to the barbiturate overdose that caused it.

 

[corianderstem]

Grace: a really nice song destroyed by lame lyrics and a bad melody/vocal.

 

[LemonMelon]

I don't understand why people can't just vote for their least favorite songs. It's the most accurate measure, it's what the instructions say to do ... why don't people do it? Why this constant need to "save" songs? Ultimately, this is about being accurate about U2 fans, and this competition never is because of that.

Honestly, what difference does it make? You can't tell me that BD won't make it to the finals because someone decided to vote Peace On Earth in an attempt to save Grace. I can only think of a scant few instances when bandwagoning has made any difference whatsoever, and while I understand your overarching point, it's certainly a bit of a stretch to call the accuracy of the tournament into question because of it. Ultimately, the final round is going to feature a combination of Bad, WOWY, or possibly The Fly, and that's just the way it is, regardless of path we take to get there.

 

[FitzChivalry]

Grace.

 

[MMP]

NY

clf

 

[Acrobat51829]

Stuck until it's gone. It's always been U2's most plodding, clumsiest song to me.

 

[Addicted To Bad]

.hmm...it makes sense





..wait! The Fly ?!

 

[alanah]

No critical comments about the album, which is great.

 

[Axver]

OK, this result is obvious. I'm going to move onto the new round now.

VOTING CLOSED.
