Axver, this was a good idea, but it hink that 30 singles are a little too much. You should have made that only 5 from 80's and 7 from 90's(because of new millenium) are in this singles finals

What's survivor without an alliance?

Hah, exactly.

I am honestly wondering why singles like New Year's Day and AIWIY are still lingering below the radar, and why UF suddenly cropped up on people's radars ...

There were some problems in organisation. There were 24 singles from the 1980s and 26 from 1990s/2000s, and polls are limited to a total of 30 options. So we ran the 1980s and 1990s/2000s as separate heats and decided to combine them as soon as we had 15 left in each. I am sincerely starting to wonder whether we should have reached the top ten or maybe even the top five in the two divisions before combining for the final.
 
I'm really surprised Staring At The Sun has lasted as long as it has....
 
But I can see why All I Want Is You has lasted so long. Despite the fact they're cover songs as B-Sides, I think they're great cover songs!
 
I can see If God Will Send His Angels staying because of Slow Dancing and Two Shots... being quirky b-sides. But I must admit If God... is my least favourite Pop song.

That's true, they are indeed great. However, I wouldn't like to see them stay at the expense of good original b-sides.

The Pop singles probably don't have much life left in them and should go. I'm also wondering when people are going to gang up on EBTTRT because it has the remix version of the single along with the b-side version.

Slow Dancing, on the IGSWHA single, isn't an enjoyable listen in my opinion. Get Willie Nelson out of there.

I'd like The Fly to go far, as Alex Descends Into Hell is a fantastic b-side. But I haven't heard the Lounge Fly. :reject: I'd love it if anyone could send it to amakaxver@gmail.com if at all possible, thank you! :)
 
I'd take Unforgettable Fire any day over All I Want Is You. In fact, the only three singles that I'd compare it to are Still Haven't Found, Streets, and With Or Without You.

I'd add Pride to that list. Those are my five favourite singles. Stunning b-sides for all of them. Put them together and you'd have an incredible album.

True! One must add Promenade, 4th of July, and Bad, though. And throw in Heartland just to round it out. :drool:
