Please vote for your FAVOURITE song(s).
The top SEVEN songs from this era proceed to the Late 1980s Quarter Final.
Welcome to the Unforgettable Fire 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 48 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. Remember that there is a tradeoff: if you vote for more songs, the power of each of your votes is dampened, but if you vote for fewer songs, you get to spread your influence less far.
Only original U2 songs with official studio releases will compete. However, you are free to vote on the basis of live versions, alternate versions, remixes, etc., as in the normal version of Survivor. Basically whatever you think best represents the song in your mind.
The War era had the most clear-cut result of the three eras we have polled thus far. There was no closely fought fight for the final qualifying place. However, had War not had an unexpectedly poor showing in Album Survivor, that would not have been the case. In the past, War has made it into the middle tier of albums rather than the bottom tier, and had it done so this time, it would have had six finalists. Sixth place featured a three-way tie. (Also, NYD had by far the most emphatic showing of any song thus far, earning a vote from all but four participants in the poll.)
(bold = qualified for finals)
1. New Year's Day - 43 votes
2. Sunday Bloody Sunday - 36
3. Drowning Man - 29
4. Like a Song - 23
5. Two Hearts Beat As One - 20
=6. 40 - 16
=6. Seconds - 16
=6. Surrender - 16
9. Treasure (Whatever Happened to Pete the Chop?) - 8
10. The Refugee - 5
=11. Angels Too Tied to the Ground - 3
=11. Endless Deep - 3
13. Red Light - 2 lunatics
(Total votes: 47)

Out of Control
A Day Without Me
The Electric Co.
11 O'clock Tick Tock
Gloria
Rejoice
Tomorrow
