[Zoots]

Out of Control!!!

 

[cruzila]

out of control

 

[Mr. V]

Out of Control... this is where it gets really tough. like, it was tough before, but that was nothing.

 

[Rob33]

I honestly don't know if I can say which one I least like at this point...so maybe I shouldn't vote and leave it to everyone else

we'll see...

 

[pat132]

Out of Control

 

[phillyfan26]

Out of Control

 

[phanan]

Out Of Control

 

[LemonMelon]

It was tough, but Out of Control for me.

 

[Axver]

Poor Twilight. It's the second best song on Boy. I can't fathom why it's gone and the markedly inferior Out Of Control is still here.

 

[u2trinity]

Out Of Control

 

[Joey788]

An Cat Dubh for me

 

[dr. zooeuss]

This was tough, but An Cat Dubh

Axver, I think some voters may have considered Out of Control's success as a live song in this poll when comparing it to twilight..

Well, firstly, you're not meant to vote based on live versions (yeah, I'd like to know how we're supposed to actually ensure that doesn't happen though!). Secondly, I actually think Twilight was the better live song. It was so intense and atmospheric. OOC is great for getting a crowd on its feet and dancing, but damn, listen to the 5 June 1983 version of Twilight that's the b-side to Sweetest Thing. Right there is the reason why I love this band so much.

 

[bonocomet]

I voted, but I didn't enjoy it.

 

[Aardvark747]

Poor Twilight.

Out of control..again!

 

[cruzila]

I voted, but I didn't enjoy it.

same here.

 

[edurban]

out of control but i need to save An Cat Dubh!!!!!!

 

[Axver]

It's interesting: if IWF were here, I'm sure the OOC vote would be split and ACD would be out of here. I imagine if you go back to the original Song Survivor, something along those lines happened. So this competition has proven its worth by demonstrating that Interference rather likes ACD after all.

Is that really part of the "ground rules", not considering the live versions? I mean, take War for example...I prefer the album version of NYD to the album version of SBS, but I think SBS is the better song. Am I supposed to penalize SBS because I think the studio version is lacking?

 

[corianderstem]

Yes.

I know I will be.

 

[gareth brown]

i still think there's a hole in the "rules" of this whole damn thing with One Tree Hill still being in this competition so anything goes...

 

[LemonMelon]

If live versions can't be considered, I'm surprised that Bad did so well in the previous competition. The live versions of that are out of this world, but I find the studio version extremely dull.

Uh, why?

If you're talking about it being on the Japanese release ... The Fly is still here too.

 

[FitzChivalry]

Out of Control, but only because I needed to save An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart.

 

[gareth brown]

Uh, i'm not being 100% hence the
