Wow… now we begin the very final round of this rate the song series, the last round of 2000s non-album songs. The full list of such songs is:

Stateless
Summer Rain
Always
Levitate
Love You Like Mad
Smile
Flower Child
Big Girls Are Best
Electrical Storm
The Hands That Built America
Native Son
Xanax and Wine
Are You Gonna Wait Forever?
Window in the Skies
Soon
Winter
Mercy

Today's round will cover the last five songs, from Are You Gonna Wait Forever? to Mercy.

Please rate Are You Gonna Wait Forever? on a scale from 0 to 10, using whatever criteria you feel allows you to best evaluate the song as a whole. I will not set criteria for people to based on, but if you feel like your best evaluation of the merits of a song comes from voting only based on, say, the studio version, go right ahead and vote that way. Full information on the Rate The Song series may be found in this thread.

A short while after this round closes, I will post results for only 2000s songs, as usual. (Hopefully) a short while after that, I will post full results in a new thread, with a link to a PDF file filled with the full statistical nonsense. I will do my best to make both come out as soon as possible - thank God, these polls close on Saturday, the first day of my Spring Break, so I should have plenty of time with which to work on everything.

I would also like to thank everyone for participating. :) There have been some skirmishes, but overall, I think this has been a fun experience, and I'm really glad to have run it.

Have fun! This poll will close in 96 hours.
 
I really like this one, and even dig the lyrics and theme. Solid rocker that's better than at least 3/4 of the songs on Bomb. It clearly should have made the cut.

7…though I thought I was voting on Mercy, and gave this a 5. Dig, can you change please?

Sure, will do.
 
i do like this one. I actually would have preferred that it was on the album over ABOY.
 
Always thought it was a solid b-side, even though it does drag on a bit at the end. Still a 6 for me... or did I give it a 7? I can't even remember!
 
9 for me - love this song, for what it is it's a great track...I want to say it should have been on Bomb, it's certainly better than most of it - but that would mean U2 would have almost NO good B-sides for the last decade :wink:
 
The bridge sucks. Everything else is great. 7.

I'm amused that nobody is posting in here despite everybody bitching out Dig for its absence.
