i hope everyone had some fun voting, as i sure had fun making the matchups and calculating the results
if anything, this showed us that U2's older songs (80s) are more favored than their newer releases (90s, 00s)
no song past joshua tree made it into the final four
it should be noted that achtung baby AND pop both did do very well here, although the same cannot be said for atyclb or htdaab
i personally do not think streets is U2's best song ever, but, based upon the results, it is the most popular
streets "outscored" its competition (god pt. 2, the fly, out of control, one, sunday bloody sunday, and bad) by a stunning total of 203-68...its closest competition was one
thanks for voting everyone, and i'm going to work on coming up with something else interesting for everyone!
