Finals: U2 Singles Survivor - Top Ten

is now open. Please vote by clicking in the circle next to the single you like the LEAST on the electronic poll above. Thank you.

Please be aware that you are voting on the WHOLE single release, not the individual a-side. In the same way that album survivor involved whole albums with their full complement of tracks competing against each other, singles survivor will involve whole singles with their full complement of tracks competing against each other.

This is a TWO day timed electronic poll.

Instructions:

Voting

Each round please vote off the single you like the least. The single with the most amount of votes is the the least popular for this round. Voting is anonymous. It's not compulsory to state your preference in the thread.

Next round all the singles are listed again, minus the single that receives the most amount of votes this round. And again please vote for your least favourite single from the selection.

And on we go for many rounds until there's only two singles left. In the last round you vote for your favourite out of the two. The last single standing is the most popular (or the least unpopular depending on how you look at it).

Tie Breaker

In the event of a tie, both or all tied singles will be instantly eliminated from the competition.

Have fun!

If God Will Send His Angels, for what I certainly hope is the last time.

Interesting to note that 5 eighties and 5 nineties singles made the top ten.

EBTTRT all those remixes suck!

But then there's Where Did It All Go Wrong? ...

It was either EBTTRT or IGWSHA. I love Two Shots of Happy, so that with all of the remixes made me vote for EBTTRT

 

[Neenie]

I like Where Did It All Go Wrong more than EBTTRT. But I have to vote the single as a whole.

Two Shots Of Happy =

So did you vote for IGWSHA?

 

[Neenie]

So did you vote for IGWSHA?

No, I voted off EBTTRT.

 

[timothius]

I was voting for EBTTRT before it was trendy

 

[D'oh!]

If God Will Send His Angels, for what I certainly hope is the last time.

If God Will Send His Angels

(and Pride is gone? That's what vacations will do to ya!)

 

[bono_man2002]

Darn Holiday and Tour.
I keep missing rounds!

I Voted : If God Will Send His Angels.

I've told you before and I'll tell you again: there's no excuse for having a life outside of the Internet.

 

[Popmartijn]

I love the Even Better Than The Real Thing single (Salome, Where Did It All Go Wrong, Lady With The Spinning Head (Extended Dance Remix) and some of the remixes of the A-side are cool too, like The Perfecto Mix, maybe even better than... ).
That said, I also adore the If God Will Send His Angels single (Two Shots Of Happy One Shot Of Sad, the wonderful Willie Nelson version of Slow Dancing, a very poignant Sunday Bloody Sunday and a very good remix of Mofo).
So I see two of my favourite singles being beaten around.

As I don't want to choose one over the other, I guess I'll have to vote on principle again (in contrast to political voting).
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For should've been voted off much earlier.

I'm posting, aren't I? Obviously this is my best option right now.

Still - this poll should have been shorter, no?

Nah, every single has been included, so theres no way to shorten it.

Besides, what do we do when its finished?

You tell me how.

I don't suppose anyone has come forward with an idea for another competition?

Didnt bathiu want to do something with art?

I've seen him around a bit, and yeah, I remember something to do with the album covers. Though didn't we do that once and it wasn't very popular?

 

[Aardvark747]

I don't suppose anyone has come forward with an idea for another competition?

What about the best song?
Have each album up for a couple of days, and the 3 with the least amount of votes go into the final. Can include Passengers too perhaps?

Tho maybe it's too similar to this? But it's not really - cos whatever the best single turns out to be on here - might not be what would win the 'Best U2 Song' competition....

I dunno - just an idea I guess!

That was the very original Survivor, though in a different format. Ran for absolute ever and was a mountain of fun. Wouldn't mind it again, especially because this time around, we could use proper polls rather than posting our vote.

Last time, the final was One versus Where The Streets Have No Name, with One barely winning (for what reason, I do not know).

 

[Aardvark747]

Yeah - I thought it probably happened at some point before I crashed in on you all!

 

[Axver]

If people actually want to do it again, we could use a modified, quicker format. Could be fun.

Though is there any other survivor anyone wants to do? Tour survivor?
