Non-Single Survivor: The Unforgettable Fire - Round One

[Axver]

PLEASE VOTE FOR YOUR LEAST FAVOURITE SONG!

In a nailbitingly close final round, Seconds lost, meaning that Like A Song ... progresses to the final.

Voting Results:
31 - Like A Song ...
30 - Seconds

Total votes = 61

Order Of Elimination From War:
5. Seconds
4. Surrender
3. Drowning Man
2. The Refugee
1. Red Light

Final Qualifiers:
Boy - The Electric Co.
October - Tomorrow
War - Like A Song ...

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.

Really did not expect Like A Song to win War. I thought Surrender was going to breeze through.

MLK for this round.

 

[Queen Bee]

Elvis Presley And America

 

[mobvok]

EPAA

I would go out on a limb and say, based on what's left, Wire is the favorite.

Indian Summer Sky

Was A Sort Of Homecoming really a single...?

 

[mobvok]

Was A Sort Of Homecoming really a single...?

Probably in Lichtenstein or some other obscure country.

Elvis Presley and America

Like a song

 

[Axver]

Was A Sort Of Homecoming really a single...?

We're ruling out quasi-singles, i.e. stuff with released music videos. ASOH has a video so it's gone.

My prediction for the win: Promenade.

 

[Axver]

Surprised to see EPAA level with 4th Of July ... I expected 4th Of July would run away with this first round.

 

[WalkOn21]

While none of these would have deserved to be a single, I choose

Indian Summer Sky


I haven't been listening to TUF for some time, but I remember that one being the worst.

You break my heart

 

[Chizip]

Worst to best:

4th of July
Wire
MLK
EPA
Indians
Prom

so this album is settled, NEXT!

4th of July

[Irishteen]

4th of July

 

[WalkOn21]

You break my heart

After reading your post I decided to go listening to TUF again.
And I was right: it indeed has been too long since I last listened to this album.

ISS isn't the worst song.

You've mended my broken heart

I invent new lyrics for that song every time I listen to it!

If like a song won, how does it have more votes than seconds

The Mighty Axver made a mistake.

if you look on the finalist page for war, you will see the real results are seconds 31 and like a song 30. ax just made an honest mistake

 

[Adam'sbaby]

Elvis Presley And America

 

[Axver]

That was a dumb mistake.

 

[mobvok]

Neither 4th of July or EPAA are great experimental songs, but 4th of July is short enough that it doesn't interrupt the ASOH ---> Bad flow, while EPAA is long enough to actually hurt the album.

Just how I view it.

 

[Harry Vest]

Elvis Presley And America is a brilliant emotionally charged "experiment" song. It does NOT take away from The Unforgettable Fire but instead adds to it. Knuckleheads.

Yeah, I agree - I love how Bono's voice takes on the role of an extra instrument in that song.
