Best Song Survivor: The Joshua Tree Round II

[Aardvark747]

red hill

 

[Sicy]

I am very emotionally attached to this album. I think I may have to boycott participating in this for fear of getting very upset.

 

[luna_lovegood]

Red Hill. After its gone, I have no idea what I'll vote for. But I hope those voting for Red Hill will then gang up against the MotD voters next round. It can't go so soon

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

It really is just a wonderful album. It's not my personal #1 favorite, but I think it might be their best work, all things considered.

 

[intedomine]

Ow, this is hard. Exit is just not as good as the other tracks.

 

[intedomine]

Why did the last round last only 2 hours or whatever, it's gotta be given at least 12 hours....or something a bit more adequate.

ISHFWILF or IGC to win.......these songs took a few years to grow on me, but are most certainly my favourite tracks off the album after StreetS

 

[BigMacPhisto]

"Exit" as well...it's probably on par with some of the other songs thanks to the remastered version having the volume amped....but at this point, it's the chick that turns hot in the last semester of high school...too late for you to work your way in there and make the most of things.

Wow, these rounds are going to be sheer mayhem after the borefest that was the previous album. Running/One/Without are locks for moving on, but it's anyone's guess what #4 will be.

We're doing Passengers, right, Axver?

 

[The Sad Punk]

Bullet.

Some of the songs on this album kind of suck.

 

[Purplereign]

I am very emotionally attached to this album. I think I may have to boycott participating in this for fear of getting very upset.

I know! Ack . . . and am somewhat perplexed at the speed of round 1 , oh well, time to bite the . . .

 

[Tyagu_Anaykus]

Bullet Me in the Sky

 

[Axver]

Why did the last round last only 2 hours or whatever, it's gotta be given at least 12 hours....or something a bit more adequate.

Hell no. Mercy rule is invoked as soon as the outcome is blindingly obvious. Trip's elimination was clear, to put it mildly.

We're doing Passengers, right, Axver?

Yep. But it'll be a straight vote for favourites (like the b-sides categories) with the top three going through to the final.

 

[alanah]

Exit.

 

[digitize]

I kinda wish the entire first round of this hadn't happened while I was sleeping, even though I would have voted for TTYW, but whatever.

 

[digitize]

And I voted for Exit now. Cool song, but it has a hell of a lot of competition on this album.

I'll be angry if MOTD is eliminated now. It is one of the best closers they've ever done (and it's better live, see JT Tempe).

 

[Addicted To Bad]

The whole JT but damn the consequences ... one has to go:
MOTD

 

[Axver]

I'm aghast at the RHMT and MOTD votes. This forum baffles me sometimes. I'll take RHMT as JT's second best song, thanks.

1. One Tree Hill
2. Red Hill Mining Town
3. With Or Without You
Streets
4. In God's Country
5. Mothers Of The Disappeared
6. Exit
7. Running To Stand Still
8. Bullet The Blue Sky
9. ISHFWILF
10. Trip

3-6 are essentially equal. If I did this list again tomorrow, I'd probably shuffle the order.

 

[gump]

ISHFWILF

How can someone vote for OTH in the second round is completely beyond my understanding.

How can someone vote for OTH in any round is also beyond my understanding.

 

[MMP]

Please ban MrMac for voting OTH.

I came back here in the morning to find that I'm still the only one who voted for it. One-person club all over again...

 

[Axver]

MrMac, I think your problem is you have things around the wrong way. You should be putting OTH at #1 and Elevation last, not first.

 

[MMP]

Well played.

Anyway, I'm not liking that my favorite song here along IGC is "winning" this thing right now.

 

[stagman]

ISHFWILF has to go, just not as good as the rest

 

[Zooronaut]

Bullet until it's dead. I'm still sad about TTYW, I really like that song...

 

[Irishteen]

ISHFWILF

The remastered Joshua Tree finally made me fall in love with the album, especially Exit and Mothers of the Disappeared

ISHFWILF and Bullet are weak compared to the rest...

 

[The_Pac_Mule]

WHOEVER VOTES FOR MOTHERS OF THE DISAPEARED HAS TO GO THROUGH ME FIRST.

 

[Galeongirl]

WHOEVER VOTES FOR MOTHERS OF THE DISAPEARED HAS TO GO THROUGH ME FIRST.

Okay, so do I have to cut you open to go trough you?

 

[AdamThomasU2]

WHOEVER VOTES FOR MOTHERS OF THE DISAPEARED HAS TO GO THROUGH ME FIRST.

I stand by you on that, one of my faves from the album, and what a closer!

 

[CTU2fan]

You see? This is why TJT >>> AB, because there are any number of AB tracks that I'd have no problem slicing off like an appendix and tonsils...but here? Hell, I even like Trip.

Voted Bullet, album version is lacking.

 

[Mauwer]

missed round 1 , but that was an easy choice
Hmm...between MOTD and RHMT.
I voted MOTD , just by an inch.

Cheers ,

Mauwer

Ditto. I was sleeping, then I come in this morning and BAM round 2???

I liked TTYW

 

[Purplereign]

I liked TTYW

I still do . . . but glad it went first . . . this whole Mothers of The Disappeared being disappeared is making me sad . . .lovely lovely lovely track
