the final round for b-sides, boy-war had the fool getting the boot. this means things to make and do wins for this album, and will go on to compete in the finals later.

full results:
the fool: 38
j. swallow: 18

the rules are pretty easy. this is for worst song U2 survivor. this means you vote OFF your FAVOURITE song. the goal here is to see what is the least-liked U2 song for each album, and narrow it down to least-liked song ever.

ROUND ONE (B-SIDES, UNFORGETTABLE FIRE):
- boomerang one
- boomerang two
- the three sunrises
- love comes tumbling
- sixty seconds in the kingdom come
- bass trap

you are to vote based on the studio version of that particular song. do not vote based on how it sounds live or how it sounded remixed.

timing of the poll: there are so many rounds, it really makes sense to keep each individual round as a timed ONE day poll. when we get to the end of each round, the final poll will last two days, to give more people a chance to vote.

ties will be broken by eliminating both songs from the poll UNLESS we are in the top five. even if there are three tied, all three will be eliminated. any more of a tie (four-way tie, etc.), then we will have a tiebreaker round.

also, when we get down to the final round (the winner of each previous round going against each other), these polls will last two days. the same tiebreaking rules apply.

remember, vote for what you consider to be the strongest song, or your favourite. this competition is to determine the WORST U2 song.

if you do not have any of these songs and want them, please go to the request thread to request the song(s). i'd like this thread to just remain for voting and discussion about voting, and not get off topic into people posting their e-mail addresses requesting songs. thanks!

Love Comes Tumbling
 
Boomerang II! :rockon:

Can't hear much in terms of vocals, but the music is awesome.
 
Bass Trap. Not because I think it's the best(I think it's the 2nd or 3rd best), but because I just know it's gonna struggle to get votes, and if Bass Trap ends up being this round's winner/loser(however you want to look at it), it will be immensly displeasing.
 
I HATE YOU.

Actually, I hate U2 for making such good songs in the same era thus meaning they're incorporated in the same round in this contest.

How do I pick between such greatness?

I'll get back to you.

(By the way, Khanada, I believe J. Swallow came last in the previous round, not TTMAD as your post says.)

Why only 6 choices in this round?
because there were only six b-sides from this era. :wink:

i tried to arrange everything by era and also break everything up so one group wouldn't have 20 songs, and ultimately uf was left by itself.

Oh, so I can blame you for this torturous decision and not U2 for making such great material?

Righto, then I HATE YOU! :wink:

No, seriously, I'll go with Bass Trap. Now hurry up everyone, vote it off before I change my mind! :wink:

You made a good work... if the UF and JT b-sides were all together it would be much harder to decide. :) :up:

Love Comes Tumbling. I heard it in the coffee shop my girlfriend works in the other day. Apparently a company sends out cds to places like that so it's not just people putting on their own cds. Isn't it so weird that of all the U2 songs that could be on it, it's Love Comes Tumbling? That made me happy because it's one of my favourite b-sides.
 
Love Comes Tumbling... it made WAIA but I think it deserved a place in TUF... it's album stuff. Maybe between TUF and Promenade... :drool:

and the three sunrises too IMO... another great song, my pick for the next round.
 
"The Three Sunrises"...........and I'm guessing the instrumental "Boomerang" (I or II?) will be the last one left.

thanks, i think that's the first time anyone's said they think i did a good job with this or any kind of positive remark. i know so far all the feedback i've heard is bitching that i left this song off or put this song on or why did i put that song over there and hey you purposely closed that round so this song would win... :sigh:

thanks. :)
