Heat #1: Eighties Singles - Round Five

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 ONE 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!

DAMN those who voted off IGC

 

[Axver]

One Tree Hill.

It's in my top four U2 songs, I consider the 26 December 1989 performance to be the best live song played by any band ever, and it means a lot to me ... but the single's totally useless and shouldn't even be here. This thread's subject line is just as apt for One Tree Hill as it is for In God's Country.

One Tree Hill/Bullet The Blue Sky/Running To Stand Still

 

[Axver]

Well, I see Streets finally got its first vote in this competition.

 

[beau2ifulday]

Fire/J. Swallow/11 O’clock Tick Tock (live)/The Ocean (live)/The Cry --> The Electric Co. (live) again

 

[miss becky]

One Tree Hill. For the same reasons I voted for In God's Country. Putting album tracks on a single makes it useless.

As a side note, I will cry if Still Haven't Found gets voted off. Spanish Eyes and Deep in the Heart are two of the best B-sides EVER.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

one tree hill.

 

[1stepcloser]

Fire

 

[Axver]

To all of those people voting for A Day Without Me, have you listened to it lately? More particularly, have you listened to Things To Make And Do lately? They're both GREAT songs, and TTMAD is so much fun.

If this gets voted off now ...

 

[Lancemc]

Once again, I vote for Two Hearts Beat as One

 

[learn2kneel]

I'm voting for Angel of Harlem till its off, which hopefully will be before A Day Without Me

 

[Axver]

I'm voting for Angel of Harlem till its off, which hopefully will be before A Day Without Me

I'll probably be voting for that once One Tree Hill is gone.

 

[AtomicBono]

Two Hearts Beat As One...'cause it's only a decent song, while all the other songs left are good or great. The One Tree Hill single is horribly useless, but the songs on it are better than the songs on THBAO.

 

[theedge111]

A Day Without Me again

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Fire!

Shame on all you people touching One Tree Hill. You make me sick thinking how you might call yourselves U2 fans.

 

[the tourist]

Bye One Tree Hill.

 

[Popmartijn]

Fire/J. Swallow/11 O’clock Tick Tock (live)/The Ocean (live)/The Cry --> The Electric Co. (live) again

Those are three excellent live tracks, an atmospheric A-side and an experimental track and you want to vote it off?!


*voted for One Tree Hill/Bullet.../Running...*

 

[boystupidboy]

Angel of Harlem.....go now,dam Rattle and Hum

 

[D'oh!]

A day without me.......

 

[miss becky]

Fire!

Shame on all you people touching One Tree Hill. You make me sick thinking how you might call yourselves U2 fans.

I'm only saying this one more time. I'm voting off One Tree Hill AS A SINGLE because it offers nothing I can't get by listening to Joshua Tree. I don't hate the song and I am quite a U2 fan, so kindly keep your comments to yourself.

 

[annatheduck]

Angel of harlem for the third time...

 

[biff]

Just out of curiosity, to all of you people voting off A Day Without Me:

WHY WHY WHY? Please 'splain. You got some 'splanin' to do.

 

[Pero]

Explain this: Do i vote for all songs on the single?
-then One tree hill
Or do I vote for main song on single?
-A Day Without me

I voted for One Tree Hill-great song but BTBS and RTSS are found on Joshua

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Please don't take me seriously. Vote as you wish. I suffer from a disorder. Its called "Will my seat tickets arrive today?"

The whole single. As it says in the instructions:

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.
