[coolian2]

Cobble is going to get Clobbered.

 

[Moser]

People actually voted for City of Blinding Lights?

Man, we need a new album PRONTO!

 

[bonocomet]

tgbhf

 

[Axver]

Spanish Eyes never should have been eliminated earlier than COBL. Let's get this disaster of production out of here.

 

[pepokiss]

GUCK FLORIA!!!

 

[LemonMelon]

Everything left is really good.

 

[mysterious_jen]

i hope there is an earthquake soon to shake the ground beneath her feet.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Electric Co.

 

[The Sad Punk]

COBL again, it only sounds good when you're completely baked.

 

[Rob33]

GUCK FLORIA!!!

I agree

 

[Vlaco]

COBL again

 

[phillyfan26]

COBL because it's not a good studio track.

 

[U2girl]

Electric co.

 

[Mauwer]

COBL again and again and again.......

Cheers ,

Mauwer

 

[phanan]

A song from the last album outlasts a song from the Joshua Tree sessions.

Wow.

COBL.

 

[Lila64]

Spanish Eyes never should have been eliminated earlier than COBL.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

Electric Co.

I looove the live version, but studio isn't nearly as good.

 

[Varitek]

 

[LemonMelon]

Honestly, my least favorite of these is probably The Fly. Strange, I know, but the rest are just so good. Plus, the mixing is atrocious. Maybe not as bad as COBL, but still terrible.

 

[the tourist]

I voted City of Blinding Lights.

 

[FitzChivalry]

Heartland

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Thank God, it looks like after COBL we are finally gonna get rid of Electric co.

I'm sick to death of voting for it.

And after we get rid of Electric co. were goin to Heartland.....

And then to Gloria....

And to Zooropa....

And on to One Tree Hill....

And to Ground beneath feet....

And to the Fly....

And on to Michigan....

And North Dakota....


YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

 

[BigMacPhisto]

Heh, the final five will all be songs produced during the Eno-heyday...glad to see "Please" has doubled in votes.

What's with the "City" backlash? I'd only take "The Fly" (my #2) and "A Sort Of Homecoming" (my #6) over it.

 

[LemonMelon]

And to Zooropa....

 

[RavenBlue]

Ground Beneath Her Feet

I love this song, but I prefer the acoustic version

 

[The Sad Punk]

Honestly, my least favorite of these is probably The Fly. Strange, I know, but the rest are just so good. Plus, the mixing is atrocious. Maybe not as bad as COBL, but still terrible.

I'm inclined to agree, actually. The Fly used to be my favourite song, and the studio version still has a sort of apocalyptic feel to it that I really like, but it actually feels rather bland now. Won't be voting for it next round, but it's not in my top 5 here.

 

[gareth brown]

Spanish Eyes never should have been eliminated earlier than COBL.

exactly what Axver said, nor should a few others in this list. Shame on you all.

 

[phillyfan26]

Honestly, my least favorite of these is probably The Fly. Strange, I know, but the rest are just so good. Plus, the mixing is atrocious. Maybe not as bad as COBL, but still terrible.

It's coming up for me, too. The album mixing on the last third of that song just kills it.

 

[corianderstem]

Whoops! Sorry, guys. That's what I get for not leaving my computer on when I go out. IF it were on, I would have remembered to post the new poll!
