Please vote for your FAVOURITE song(s).
The top SEVEN songs from this era proceed to the Late 1980s Quarter Final.
Welcome to the Joshua Tree 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.
Unlike previous rounds, there was no close tussle in the Unforgettable Fire era for its lower qualifying spots. The closest battle was actually for first place, with the top three songs all finishing within a vote of each other. Surprisingly, the title track emerged most popular, ahead of Bad. Also, for the first time since the Boy era, a non-album track qualified for finals - Love Comes Tumbling. The results were:
(bold = qualified for finals)
1. The Unforgettable Fire - 42 votes
=2. A Sort of Homecoming - 41
=2. Bad - 41
4. Pride - 31
=5. Love Comes Tumbling - 23
