INTERFERENCE's Top 100 U2 Songs - RESULTS!

[Zoots]

It didn't age well and it wasn't going to.
Although 3 years ago this was "the 3rd masterpiece" and people like me were called "bashers" for not swallowing the pill of this remarkably average album.

 

[Galeongirl]

it just hurts my eyes reading trough all these mistakes...

and what worries me the most is that our Scientist doesn't seem to care at all.

Can this thread get a nice shiny lock now?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

meh, I'm glad I missed the end...

 

[The Scientist]

We have a problem. Where is Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own?

Agreed. It fell through the tracks

#62 Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own 560 points, 17 votes How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb

Beach Sequence 70 points will also be added to Passengers - Original Soundtracks tally

Where the fuck is Womanfish?

No one voted for it out of 53 lists. Not my mistake.

Ah don't bother Ax, he doesn't seem to want to correct things he messed up. Have I mentioned that First Time and The First Time are the same song? Oh I have? Nevermind.

Added 1 vote and 20 points to the The First Time, deleted First Time

it just hurts my eyes reading trough all these mistakes...

and what worries me the most is that our Scientist doesn't seem to care at all.

As was stated I tallied and posted during my 12 hour shift. I simply came back the next day to find people saying I had a flood of mistakes. I'm not ignoring you, I just can't be logged in all day and I do need sleep. I spent 10 hours posting on this thread. Give me some time too correct the 3mistakes.

If there are any more mistakes let me know NOW.

Will revise the list ANd album tallies accordingly and repost shortly.

 

[Galeongirl]

Well, you could have also just tallied it all, and posted the list in one go.. it would've saved a load of pages and time.

Batman Forever !!!!!!111!

 

[The Scientist]

Well, you could have also just tallied it all, and posted the list in one go.. it would've saved a load of pages and time.

Or you could thank me for arranging all this, tallying it, posting it, and fixing the 3 errors, and reposting the revised list rather than complaining about how I've chosen to share it with you. I've done these before and I'd rather have 28 pages of fun rather than post in one go and get 5 pages of comments.

Batman Forever !!!!!!111!

oh Jesus Christ

I'd rather have 28 pages of fun rather than post in one go and get 5 pages of comments.

Soon, grasshopper, you will learn that what one might find 'fun' is not deemed all that fun in these here parts.

 

[gvox]

oh Jesus Christ

HE'S Batman!>?!?!!


We're doomed.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I will admit, it was kind of exciting... Entertaining for sure

 

[UberBeaver]

I agree with elfa, I liked the way it went down. One at a time and all that. Why is everyone in such a fucking rush all the time? Slow down, relax.

Thanks for doing this, man.

 

[The Scientist]

You know this is one of the few forums where you can't edit hours after you post. If that wasn't the case I could simply post the final tally in post 1 like i do at every other forum. That way you wouldn't have to sift through pages to find the entire tally like you do here.

You know this is one of the few forums where you can't edit hours after you post. If that wasn't the case I could simply post the final tally in post 1 like i do at every other forum. That way you wouldn't have to sift through pages to find the entire tally like you do here.

Dude, don't take me too seriously, most of us had a hoot with this. Good thread

I've seen more people here call ATYCLB the "third masterpiece"...

REVISED and PERFECTED LIST

72. Numb 445 points, 14 votes
73. The First Time 450 points, 13 votes

Look, i'm not trying to be an ass, but the only reason I pointed out the thing with The First Time FOUR times was because with the new vote tally it over takes numb as (now thanks to the inclusion of SYCMIOYO) song #72. Thus my irritation continues at the fact that now you still haven't actually fixed it.
