Rest of U2 Survivor: Passengers - Round 1

[redhotswami]

Agreed. Ultraviolet and WOWY were the only two good performances in that entire show.

QFMFT


NYD is hilarious though.

 

[Axver]

Oh wow, just listening to Slug now. This is incredibly beautiful. This whole album really is the pinnacle of atmospheric U2. UF shows what U2 can do with atmosphere in a songwriting context, while this shows what U2 can do with atmosphere in a soundscape context. I adore both. I cannot grasp why Passengers has such a poor reputation. I can understand why some impatient people don't like, why people who urgently need hooks and four minute singles avoid it, but I don't think U2 fans in general are that daft that every song has to be Pride.

 

[Mauwer]

Hmmm.....my ranking of the songs would be ,

01 - Slug
02 - Always Forever Now
03 - Your Blue Room
04 Miss Sarajevo
05 - Theme From Let`s Go Native
06 - Beach Sequence
07 - Corpse
08 - One Minute Warning
09 - A Different Kind Of Blue
10 - United Colours
11 - Theme From The Swan
12 - Ito Okashi
13 - Plot 180
14 - Elvis Ate....

Cheers ,

ok the only song I've heard from here is Your Blue Room and it's one of my favorite U2 songs. The rest I've neever heard so Im just gonna vote for whatever.

 

[corianderstem]

Do we want to do mercy killings for this album, or just let them go 24 hours?

 

[theFly51]

do mercy

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

did someone say mercy??!!

ZOMG I LUV THAT SONG!!!1111

 

[theFly51]

 

[the tourist]

I'm all for the killing of Mercy.

 

[phanan]

I'm surprised this round wasn't killed last night.

 

[corianderstem]

Hey, I have to sleep, you know. I couldn't just wait around for everyone to stomp on EAA enough to declare mercy.

 

[Varitek]

Rip the stitches!

(mercy it)

 

[Rosebud]

mercy, mercy, mercy.

I think a lot of ppl here aren't very familiar w/Passengers (and even fewer really like it), so anything to move things along.

 

[pepokiss]

so... tell me when is POP time, ok?

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

I need to go back and listen to this album, since I haven't in awhile. In fact, I listened to it for the first time last summer since not long after it came out. I didn't like it then, but I like it better now. Elvis Ate America is awful, though. I remember that much.

I can't believe it has 27 votes already And I can't believe I missed the final round of voting for Zooropa. At least Zooropa won!

 

[the tourist]

This one might actually end up closing itself. What've we got? 8 more hours?

 

[pepokiss]

Song Favorite Least Your For Vote








why can we vote for the one we want to win, just for this borefest?

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i voted for theme for the swan. i'm like one of two people in the entire world (that's a fact, yo) who actually likes elvis ate america.

maybe it's cuz i live in memphis

 

[coolian2]

EAA isn't too bad, but it sticks out like dogs bollocks in context of the album.

 

[hillers]

I'm glad that Some Days are Better Than Others didn't win the Zooropa round. "Some days are dry, some days are leaky" ? It's like a commercial for Always.

Elvis must go.

Must be. But don't fret. I'll be voting for Theme For The Swan next.

That's why it got kicked out very, very early. It had NO chance.

 

[Diemen]

Alright.

Who the fuck voted for Your Blue Room!?


Well??

I think it's time for one of the UYMFA gang to go powerjuice on this travesty.

I'm blasting Your Blue Room as we speak. And I hope whoever voted can hear it.

Take that, you bastard.

 

[phillyfan26]

Probably that guy who types with his nipples. Or Jim Zorn.

Diemen, to be honest, you handled this situation fairly well on your own. You had the Powerjuice inside of you all along. Sniff.
