[corianderstem]

With a shout, I vote for With a Shout.

 

[phillyfan26]

With a Shout goes here.

Cue Axver going off about I Fall Down not being worthy of continuing and being inferior to the Boy Tour version.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Scarlet, how I will mourn thee

With a Shout needs to go. It has so little substance outside of "JEH ROO SAH LUUUM WHOA WHOA"

But... out of curiosity I just looked it up on YouTube...

Somebody wanna tell me why Larry has a confederate flag on his back?

How could you not love that bass throughout???

 

[Zoots]

I Threw A Brick... I guess. I love With A Shout too much.

 

[Axver]

With a Shout goes here.

Cue Axver going off about I Fall Down not being worthy of continuing and being inferior to the Boy Tour version.

I can't believe Scarlet and Fire are gone while such a dull and mundane song as I Fall Down is still here. And yes, the Boy Tour version was better!

I'll second this thought...I personally voted for Brick this time, as it's just a little bit worse than I Fall Down

With A Shout



sad about Scarlet

 

[WCF]

With A Shout. I'm surprised I Threw A Brick is currently the closest to being voted off. I was under the impression we liked it

 

[Mauwer]

Oh , I will miss Scarlet

Yep...voted for With A Shout again.

Cheers ,

Mauwer

 

[martha]

Brick is thrown out.





(hahahaha)

 

[LemonMelon]

With a Shout must go this round. It's not even debatable.

 

[the tourist]

With a Shout should've gone last round. Scarlet and Fire should still be in the mix. In that perfect world, I would've voted for I Threw a Brick Through a Window. But the world is not perfect, so I must vote for that which should've already gone: With a Shout.

I fall down

 

[Mr. V]

I Fall Down > Everything else on October

with a shout, feg eff

 

[babyman]

shout

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

I Fall Down > Everything else on October

Well I wouldn't sy that, but I DO have a soft spot in my heart for I Fall Down

 

[ozeeko]

I Fall Down is one of the best cuts on that record. It's well constructed, sounds great, tells a story, and it introduced to the world the soft verse/loud chorus technique that many a grunge band would use later.

Worst cuts: With A Shout, Scarlet...both extremely pointless songs. I don't even think they qualify as songs.

 

[Rosebud]

I Fall Down for me...

And Scarlet is SO a song!! A song doesn't need to always follow the traditional parameters of having so many lyrics, so many choruses, blah blah. Sometimes it can just be a flowing musical experience...I Scarlet.

 

[WCF]

I Fall Down > Everything else on October

with a shout, feg eff

Sorry guys, I have to agree with this guy

 

[CTU2fan]

Rubbish, Tomorrow pwns everything else on this album.

With a Shout for me...I Fall Down next and then it gets really painful.

 

[Axver]

Wow, poor With A Shout really is taking a huge hammering.

 

[ozeeko]

I'm surprised. I never knew so many people felt this way about I Fall Down. It's always been one of my favorite songs off October. The shimmering piano alone is worth the price of admission. And Larry Mullen's stuttering snare touches in the intro. Edge's falsetto backing. What's there not to like? I don't get it. It actually seems like they spent time on this song, unlike others on the album that sound like they were written on the spot, and not in a good kind of way.

Without A Shout

 

[bonocomet]

With A Shout


(I like I Fall Down better than Tomorrow.)

Didn't Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds do that 15 years before October came out?

 

[U2lunatic]

WAS

I Fall Down... introduced to the world the soft verse/loud chorus technique that many a grunge band would use later.

there's no way that U2 were the first band to do that.

Close this poll and start the new one NOW. Or George will start gettin' upset!
