Please vote for your FAVOURITE song(s).
The top SIX songs from this era proceed to the 2000s Semi-Final.
Welcome to the All That You Can't Leave Behind era round in Best Song Survivor v2! The object of this game is to find Interference's favourite U2 songs. Each album will be featured in a single round with the non-album tracks from its era. The amount of finalists from each era is based on seeding from the latest U2 Album Survivor. These rounds will last 48 hours and will be multiple choice polls where you vote for your favourite tracks (within reason). A suggestion is to vote for the amount of tracks that will proceed to the next round, although this is not a hard and fast rule. Remember that there is a tradeoff: if you vote for more songs, the power of each of your votes is dampened, but if you vote for fewer songs, you get to spread your influence less far.
Only original U2 songs with official studio releases will compete. However, you are free to vote on the basis of live versions, alternate versions, remixes, etc., as in the normal version of Survivor. Basically whatever you think best represents the song in your mind.
The nineties semi-final was the most closely fought round so far. Interestingly, although Achtung Baby topped Album Survivor, the top two songs both came from Zooropa. HMTMKMKM has become the second non-album track to reach the grand final, while Your Blue Room came within a place of being a grand finalist; this is the closest a song from Passengers has ever come to the grand final. Also, there were some interesting deviations from voting in album rounds, the most significant of which was the fate of songs from Pop. Discotheque won the Pop round, but did not even come close to becoming a grand finalist while three other songs from Pop did make it.
As a comparison with 2009, the following songs made it to the grand final this time but did not last time: Lemon (came 12th in 2009), Mofo (came 15th), and One (did not qualify for semi-final). The following songs made it last time but did not this time: Acrobat (came 5th in 2009), Love Is Blindness, and Mysterious Ways (both tied for 10th). Also, #1 in 2009's nineties semi was Gone.
