After a smidge of controversy and drama, City of Blinding Lights was declared the winner of HTDAAB.

Moving on to the non-album tracks.

VOTE FOR YOUR LEAST FAVORITE SONG

Polls will remain open for 24 hours for the non-album track rounds.

Songs in this round:

- Street Mission
- The Fool
- Boy/Girl
- Another Day
- 11 O'clock Tick Tock
- Touch
- Things To Make And Do
- J. Swallow

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.
 
If you are unfamiliar with these songs, please post your email address, and I will email you a link to download a zip file of the songs in this round. I will also do the same for the subsequent rounds.

Reminder: these rounds will only be open for 24 hours.
 
J. Swallow. It's ... pointless. It probably could have been a good track with some degree of atmosphere if they'd had time to work on it, but they didn't.

11 O'clock Tick Tock is the clear winner here, despite how lacklustre the studio version is compared to the live version.
 
YES! These non-album track rounds are gunna be fun. :up:

I am very fond of a lot of these Boy-era songs. But I think J. Swallow has to get my vote here.
 
whew. i don't know. Street Mission and Touch are right up there with 11 o'clock Tick Talk for me. obviously, the live version of 11 o'clock owns all, but if we're talking studio version, i'm undecided.

good poll. :)
 
Okay I wanted to make a rank list for myself before I started voting, but I found it much harder than I thought, I really love all these old songs! However I really don't love J Swallow, so it's the first to go off my list.
 
Okay, so I listened to these, and baby Bono really cracks me up :lmao:

That said, my reaction to J. Swallow was "what the shit is this?" because... no part of it made sense. So it gets my vote.

dcurran(at)dal(dot)ca. :D

You're my hero, I've been looking for a lot of these tracks since my laptop died (with very little success). Gracias :hi5:
 
Tough call, I voted The Fool but really a toss-up between it & Johnny Swallow for me.
