Rest of U2 Survivor: Boy - Round 6

[corianderstem]

Sorry for the delay ... my parents flew home last night and in all my rejoicing, I forgot to post a new poll.

Stories For Boys was shown the door, with 29 votes.

VOTE FOR YOUR LEAST FAVORITE SONG

Polls will remain open for 48 hours.
Songs in this round:

- Twilight
- An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart
- Out Of Control
- The Electric Co.

Criteria for song selection (at least for the albums): anything on the regular pressings of the Best Of 1980-1990, Best Of 1990-2000, and U2:18 is excluded.

 

[corianderstem]

Twilight for me.

Now that the 'rents are gone, I must hie myself to the stereo and TV, to check out my JT reissue!

 

[U2lunatic]

Out of Control, again

 

[CTU2fan]

This is hard...pity the exclusions, because I Will Follow would be an easy choice for me. Oh well.

Twilight, reluctantly

 

[Aardvark747]

out of control

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Out of Control. It's just missing something that the other songs remaining bring to the table.

Although I'm also afraid that The Electric Co. is gonna win the poll. I like the song, but prefer it live. It's just not the same when not preceded by The Cry.

 

[phillyfan26]

Out of Control. The other three are on the top tier. OOC is on the second tier.

 

[Rob33]

this is nearly impossible...i guess twilight?!?! I DON'T KNOW!!!!!

 

[FitzChivalry]

This is hard...

Twilight, reluctantly

 

[corianderstem]

I'm surprised to see Out of Control get so many votes.

It's in my top 5 U2 songs! Alas.

 

[phillyfan26]

Twilight is the best on this album. Really solid lyrically, some great guitar.

 

[LemonMelon]

Twilight needs to go. Good song, but not a patch on the other classics.

 

[pat132]

Out of Control, but this and Electric Co. are amazing live

 

[the tourist]

An Cat Dubh

 

[Joey788]

I never really liked Twilight.

 

[Axver]

Twilight is the best on this album. Really solid lyrically, some great guitar.

Damn straight, except I think The Electric Co. is marginally better. Twilight is one of the songs that has kept me interested in U2.

Accordingly, I voted ACD/ITH in an attempt to save Twilight. I otherwise would have voted OOC.

 

[u2trinity]

oh man....I listened to the four remaining songs , which I will add I love equally . voting quickly before I change my mind .

Out of Control

 

[WCF]

I had to vote for Twilight.

I love Out of Control, it's my favorite on the album!

 

[Mr. V]

Twilight, extremely reluctantly.

 

[alanah]

I voted Twilight.

 

[edurban]

twilight, so difficult though!

 

[phanan]

Man, I really like Twilight. Looks like it's a goner, though.

So my vote won't make a difference, but I'm going for Out Of Control.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

Electric Co.

I love the song, but I don't like the studio recording nearly as much as the live versions.

 

[CTU2fan]

Why aren't we allowed to vote off stuff on the "Best Of" CDs? Just curious...

This poll is to give lesser tracks a fair chance... Whether we like it or not if the "hits" were included in the poll they would end up winning.

 

[corianderstem]

Yep. There was a poll last year (or so? don't remember the dates) that had ALL the songs, and it was no surprise to see the big hits winning the polls.

Just something different to do to pass the time.

 

[phillyfan26]

It's a crime that the best song on this album is leaving this early.

 

[Nemesis]

Twilight

 

[Axver]

We've done that before. We wanted to run Survivor again, but to do it in a way that will (hopefully) be far less predictable than the Song Survivor's final between One and Streets.
