Please vote for your FAVOURITE song(s).

Welcome to the Achtung Baby era round in Best Song Survivor v2! The object of this game is to find Interference's favourite U2 songs. Each album will be featured in a single round with the non-album tracks from its era. The amount of finalists from each era is based on seeding from the latest U2 Album Survivor. These rounds will last 24 hours and will be multiple choice polls where you vote for your favourite tracks (within reason). A suggestion is to vote for the amount of tracks that will proceed to the next round, although this is not a hard and fast rule.
Only original U2 songs with official studio releases will compete. Please vote solely on the basis of studio tracks. Songs with multiple versions will be listed separately; remixes will not, so if you favour a remix over the original song, vote on the basis of your favourite.
The 1980s semi final was a very competitive round, with only Like A Song and Drowning Man well off the pace. Big names like Pride, Sunday Bloody Sunday, and I Will Follow failed to make the finals. Interestingly, at the top, With Or Without You polled one vote more than Streets despite being trounced by it in the showdown of Best Song Survivor v1. Of the eighties albums, Boy, October, and War all have one grand finalist; RAH has two; UF has three; and JT has four. Interestingly, RAH is the only album to get its full semi-final representation through to the grand final.
Today, we return to multiple rounds, with Zooropa running simultaneously to this round.

Well, it says favourite songs. So Cruel isn't one of my favourites. It's a good song yes, but only if I'm in the right mood for it. If I'm happy or hyperactive, I can't stand it.
it's ok. It actually took a few years for it to happen, but it went from a song I really didn't think much about to one of my favorites on the album, so I couldn't help notice it's absence.
