Best Song Survivor: October Round Seven

[digitize]

I Threw a Brick Through a Window was thrown through a window in the last round. Only four songs remain for October's two slots to quarterfinals. You have 24 hours to vote for your least favorite song, the next song to be kicked out of this contest. For anyone just joining us, rules may be found here.

 

[Axver]

I adore Gloria. Rejoice is another big personal favourite. Tomorrow is beautiful and haunting.

Therefore - sorry October.

 

[intedomine]

Don't really care what happens, except that Gloria progresses. One of these songs is going to seriously overachieve, according to my ears. If one of the other three must progress, I'd rather Tomorrow I suppose.

 

[cobl04]

Voted Rejoice. A shame Brick was eliminated.

Go Gloria and October.

 

[bonocomet]

Any two of these will be a good pair to represent October. Especially since Gloria should be one of them.

 

[Galeongirl]

Myeah, I still don't recall exactly which song Rejoice is. Apparently it was that memorable.

 

[BlueSilkenSky]

Reeeeeeeeejoice! Finally, it appears I agree with the majority.

 

[LadySpinHead]

Besides Gloria. All the songs I really like are gone. So, whatever. Rejoice, I guess.

 

[djerdap]

Usually I'd vote for Gloria, but Rejoice seems to be in a predicament, so October it is.

 

[the tourist]

Wow. If Rejoice is eliminated, I'm for October and Gloria to make it through. Fuck Tomorrow.

 

[An Cat Gav]

Very tough, but it must be rejoice, I love the others too much.

 

[iron yuppie]

Tough choice here. I'm still going with Rejoice, though, despite a great lead riff from Edge.

 

[corianderstem]

October's, like, half a song. Yay for atmosphere, but come on.

 

[gvox]

I'm too lazy to look, but at what point did you start voting Passengers out, Cor?

 

[corianderstem]

I don't remember, nor do I particularly care.

I just don't think October the song is much to write home about.

 

[Axver]

Yeah, October was better as a live intro to Tomorrow/NYD than it ever was as an individual song on the album.

Poor Rejoice. It's got some of Edge's finest early guitar work, it's a rare drumming highlight from Larry, and Bono completely throws himself into it. If it had the good fortune to be on Boy or War, it'd probably be remembered as one of those songs that sums up the essence of chiming post-punk U2, but instead it languishes on October.

 

[gvox]

, but instead it languishes on October.

Disagree..to me, rather than languish, its one of 6 or 7 reasons why October is a far better album than this forum rates it..

I've only voted for it at this point because I think it and the others left are awesome tracks, but something has to go in order for me to keep participating

You know I agree with this, but I meant in the popular perception that shafts October and practically anything associated with it.

 

[gvox]

I hear ya!

 

[flybabe]

How the fuck is October still an option?
