How to play: Each album will have a series of rounds of voting. In an album's first round, all non-singles from the album will be listed and you vote for the song you think is the WORST. The song with the most votes is eliminated. This continues through the subsequent rounds until we are left with just one song from each album. These victorious songs proceed to the final, which will be conducted in the same manner until just one song is left, which you can consider to be the Best Non-Single or Least Objectionable Non-Single, depending upon your perspective.

If there's a draw, for most rounds, both songs are eliminated. If there's only 2 or 3 songs left, I'll leave the poll open for another day, when there'll hopefully be a decisive outcome.

A Man And A Woman.

I really hope One Step Closer isn't eliminated first. It's an amazing song but there seems to be a widespread lack of appreciation for its beauty on this forum.

It's a huge shame In a little while didn't win. I find kite really bland, there's no way you could say that about In a little while.

Anyway, For this round A man and a woman should go but I mean c'mon is there really any doubt Love and Peace or else will win this?!

Yeah, IALW isn't bland. It's complete shit.

I've seen quite a bit of love for Miracle Drug, though I suspect it will fail to progress because of the large crowd who hate the "freedom has a scent" line.

My personal hope is that Crumbs wins. It should. Great political lyrics combined with awesome ringing guitar - it's U2 doing what U2 do best.

Somehow I don't think Joey Ramone would choose 'complete shit' as the last song he would ever listen to

One Step Closer


I happen to LIKE A Man And A Woman.

Somehow, what Joey Ramone listened to and when he listened to it has entirely no impact on the actual quality (or lack thereof) of the song.

One Step Closer

 

[DignityPassesBy]

I want crumbs or miracle drug or Yahweh to win this one ... i dont like the album version of love and peace and i think one step closer is ok but nothing compared to the other songs

 

[1stepcloser]

Yahweh.

The studio version is appalling.

 

[pepokiss]

let's go Miracle Drug...

the "freedom..." line kicxks ass

 

[hcbiggs2002]

A Man And A Woman.

I totally agree with you. My pick was also Man and A Woman which is not to say it's not a good song just the weakest of a set of very good songs.

 

[Tiger Edge]

One Step Closer

I AGREE.

 

[heyho_letsgo]

Votes " A Man and a Woman" with GLEE. Sheer and utter gleeeee.

Oh, I've been waiting for that.

 

[Irishteen]

A Man And A Woman

 

[bono_212]

a man and a woman...but I couldn't decide.

 

[popacrobat]

yahweh

 

[martha]

It was either Crumbs or Yahweh, but the sheer crappiness of Crumbs wins the day.

 

[the rockin edge]

A Man And A Woman.

a man and a woman

i like the lyrics to one step closer, the music isn't all that great but the lyrics put it ahead of a man and a woman

 

[U2bpbear24]

This was hard...but I picked Miracle Drug.

I love all of these songs, but Miracle Drug IMO seems like it takes too long to pick up , and the beginning is dragged out too long...granted, i still like it tho

 

[SiW87]

One Step Closer.

A Man and a Woman, even though it is a weak song, has actually grown on me... a lot more than One Step Closer.

 

[MacPhistoPT]

A man and a woman

 

[bono_212]

Ugh...what am I going to do? Today I have realized just how much I love this cd

 

[RavenBlue]

Yahweh.

I love the live version of it. But there's too much in the studio version.

 

[LMP]

One Step Closer

I'd rather the main lyric of the song be added onto the outro of Sometimes than be its own song.

 

[ponee]

kill "Love and Peace" ...OR ELSE!!!

Well I have lodged the lone vote for Love and Peace or Else. I just can't figure out why you guys like this one so much. Sure its better live...but on the album its average.

 

[Zoots]

LAPOE is pretty weak lyrically but definitely not the worst here. I happen to like AMAAW for the bass, the production and even some of the lyrics. So that's not it either! I think that One Step and Yahweh are the weakest of the bunch here! And Yahweh at least has that hopeful 'sun is coming up..' line. OSC to me, is just a melodious mediocre song. Good but not great. So OSC it is!
