Rest of U2 Survivor: War - Round 1

[corianderstem]

Gloria emerged triumphant over Tomorrow, and thus wins the October rounds. All hail Queen Gloria!

Now, on to War.

VOTE FOR YOUR LEAST FAVORITE SONG

Polls will remain open for 48 hours, unless one song has taken enough of a beating after a day or so, in which case we'll call it an act of mercy and move on to the next round.

Songs in this round:

- Seconds
- Like A Song
- Drowning Man
- The Refugee
- Two Hearts
- Red Light
- Surrender
- 40

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]

Easiest vote ever:

Red Light.

Die, Red Light. DIE!!!!!!

 

[Zoots]

If you people vote Red Light or Refugee out, you're gonna get a severe beating from me!

ETA: Cori gets first anger thrashing...

 

[corianderstem]

... says the guy who voted for Two Hearts Beat As One?



I don't THINK so, buddy.

 

[phillyfan26]

So easy, as Cori said, Red Light, U2's second worst song ever.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

I like Red Light, but this is still a pretty easy vote. The other songs are better.

I like the entire album. I even like The Refugee.

 

[corianderstem]

I rarely listen to this album all the way through. There's something about the overall sound of it I don't care for.

 

[Zoots]

Something tells me I'm gonna cover this thread with angry smileys.

 

[corianderstem]

I do believe you're right.

 

[phillyfan26]

The first five songs of this album are great.

For the most part, the last five pale in comparison to the first five.

 

[Zoots]

Red Light > Sunday Bloody Sunday (album version)

 

[Irishteen]

I like Red Light....*runs*

 

[Zoots]

I like Red Light....*runs*

Don't run. I need more support here.

 

[Axver]

Easiest vote of the tournament? Yes. Fuck off, Red Light.

Also, The Refugee > 40 (studio version) > THBAO.

 

[LemonMelon]

If you people vote Red Light or Refugee out, you're gonna get a severe beating from me!

 

[Lila64]

I do so like this album. Maybe it's cuz I had seen them on this tour, I dunno. Tough choices coming up....

 

[Zoots]

LM

We've been agreeing a lot lately on stuff.

PS: Let's never bring up the subject of Hutdubz

 

[LemonMelon]

Unfortunately, more votes for Red Light are pouring in.

Somebody just stop this now.

 

[Lila64]

It was that or Drowning Man for me. That will be next on my list. I was swayed by peer pressure Or lack of sustenance.

 

[liamcool]

Go whore yourself out, Red Light.

 

[the tourist]

Seconds is my least favourite song on the album. I will continue to vote for it every round until it's gone.

 

[martha]

Red Light.

This album will be easy for me. I don't like it much.

 

[Axver]

Drowning Man?

I think it should probably win this round. I'll be happy if it, Like A Song, or Surrender advances.

 

[LemonMelon]

Surrender is the best song here. Probably won't get past round 5 though.

 

[phillyfan26]

Of these 8:
1. Like a Song...
2. Surrender
3. Drowning Man
4. Seconds
5. 40
6. Two Hearts Beat As One
7. The Refugee
8. Red Light

 

[phanan]

Sorry LM and Zoots, but you're insane. Red Light is probably the worst song U2 has ever done.

I predict this round ends early.

 

[Axver]

Personally:

1. Drowning Man
2. Like A Song
3. Surrender
4. Seconds
5. The Refugee
6. 40
7. Two Hearts Beat As One
8. Red Light

Could easily swap #2 and #3. Including the two Best Of tracks, NYD would go at #1 and SBS would slot in just above Seconds.

 

[Zoots]

Red Light > Window In The Skies.

And that I can say without any laugh smiley.

 

[Axver]

Red Light > Window In The Skies.

And that I can say without any laugh smiley.

No, even WITS beats Red Light. I'm with phanan on this one. You're insane.

 

[Zoots]

Red Light's trumpet solo and bass beats the cheesy lines of WITS out of the park!
