In God's Country. LOVE IT, so hard to vote it off, but the rest of the songs are nothing short of EPIC. I forgot how awesome this album really is!

Bullet until its gone. IGC is so much better. But then, so is Exit

In God's Country is a better song than I Still Haven't found, but I've always enjoyed the latter. It's light and fun to listen to, and I loved the crowd sing-alongs during the 360 tour.
It seems to me that Streets, One Tree Hill, and With or Without You are locks to move on. I would guess that the fourth slot will go to either Running to Stand Still or Still Haven't Found. Knowing Interference, I would expect Running to Stand Still to take it (something I would be very happy with). Also, that's exactly how it worked out in the last Rate the Song series.

Bullet. IGC is top 4 as far as I'm concerned.

One Tree Hill is clearly the weakest for me, but must save IGC, so Bullet it is.

To me those three are pretty interchangable, though IGC is the weakest for me.

IGC gets the boot from me. I enjoy the song but it's easily the weakest of the remaining songs. Would love to see it live though, as it's the only one I haven't.

ISHFWILF next, everyone. Votes for RTSS will result in your account being terminated.

Voting Bullet out before Still Haven't Found makes me sad.

Nah, Still Havent Found is pretty much perfection. Bullet is cool I guess but the studio version always felt too "heavy" for U2, at least to me. Now, Zoo TV/Popmart and even some Elevation performances were pretty bad ass, though.
You folks still haven't found the right song to oust. We've kicked out MOTD, RHMT, and Exit, but ISHFWILF is still lingering here as if it has any right to be mentioned in the same breath as these other brilliant songs? Well at least it's made my vote easy for a good few rounds in a row.
Also, when I think of Bullet, I don't think of the studio version, but the scintillating ZooTV versions. To me, that is Bullet.

Bullet. Oh look, I tied it!
Good thing I did so. I hope that helped save IGC!

I see what you did there?
I agree about Bullet- whenever I think of it I try to think of the Zoo TV versions, because they were undeniably the best- but I've been going by album tracks when I vote and I just don't like album Bullet. Never did.
I don't exactly love ISHFWILF, but weirdly enough, hearing it played on the radio over and over again made me warm up to it. Usually songs get overplayed... but the more I heard ISHFWILF, the more I liked it. But it's still not a favorite- just enough to keep me from voting for it.

The studio version is too "heavy", but the ZooTV version, which is about ten times heavier, is "bad ass"? Yeah that makes sense.

I've got heaps more lame song title puns up my sleeve too!
I've been voting just on my overall impression of the songs - and I've definitely had my opinion of Bullet shaped predominantly by the live versions. From the day I bought R&H, I knew Bullet really came into its own on stage.
