Best Song Survivor: Rattle And Hum Round IV

[bathiu]

Angel Of Harlem

 

[phanan]

Hawkmoon cannot go. Aside from All I Want Is You, it's the best thing on here.

Angel Of Harlem to save it.

 

[Screwtape2]

I've got to go with Hawkmoon on this one. I love the song but it's really tough picking at this stage. It's the odd song out.

The live version is stunning and would probably have gone deeper.

 

[SamuelSmeloc]

Hawkmoon and Heartland are my favourite ones by far.

 

[Mauwer]

Easy...Voted Angel Of Harlem

Cheers ,

Mauwer

 

[CTU2fan]

Hawkmoon is one of the most underrated songs in the U2 catalog...voted AoH.

 

[Sicy]

This is how I felt about IGC.

I chose Angel of Harlem.

 

[nicv]

Angel of Harlem

 

[the tourist]

Angel of Harlem.

 

[Galeongirl]

I think Hawkmoon is safe for now.

 

[the tourist]

I think next round it'll be going away though.

 

[LemonMelon]

Hawkmoon > Angel Of Harlem

I can't be too upset.

 

[coolian2]

hawkmoon and heartland are, imo, the two best songs on this thing.

 

[The_Pac_Mule]

next round Im voting for all I want is you

just kiddinggggg

 

[gump]

next one to go should be desire.

 

[Addicted To Bad]

next one to go should be desire.

Nope.

 

[the tourist]

No. It'll probably be God Part II.

 

[alanah]

God Part II.

 

[SamuelSmeloc]

next one to go should be desire.

Yep.

Axver, how do you feel about B-sides Survivor? Every B-side competing against one another (studio tracks, live recordings, remixes)...only criteria is that it has to have been a B-side on an officially released single and not be the same (or an edit) of a track released previously on a studio album. Would be interesting to see a "Night and Day" remix up against "Spanish Eyes" up against a killer live take of "Streets"...

One song from each single would advance to the next round. We'd then do a bit of whittling down every ten singles or so with a finale of about twenty songs.

 

[the tourist]

Axver's not the only one who can run a survivor game, by the way.

 

[Axver]

A b-side survivor would probably be fun, though the participation would be rather lower than this game and you'd have a problem when it comes to lesser known b-sides being punished for their obscurity. i.e. the b-sides from the Best Of bonus discs will inherently do better than the others, regardless of comparative quality.

viva davidoff, damn it.

 

[BigMacPhisto]

I just want to see people forced into choosing one of the Lemon remixes.

 

[Axver]

See, to me, a b-sides survivor should really only be actual b-sides. Is there even a valid basis for comparison between an original U2 song and some MW remix?

I know I wouldn't be able to vote on rounds like MW or Lemon, since I don't think I've listened to any of those remixes more than once, five years ago, and I may not have even listened to them all. I imagine that's true for most people. Sticking just to actual original songs would keep participation reasonable.

 

[The Sad Punk]

This is how I felt about IGC.

If it makes you feel better, I never put my foot in front of IGC's door.

 

[phanan]

If Hawkmoon can hold on here, it seems logical that anyone who wants to save it should join the God Part II voters next round.

I know I will.
