Of course. :) I'm really glad that everyone seemed to enjoy them.

(well, not everyone, but most people)
 
Yeah, thanks digi, you finished what Irishteen could not. :wink: Even if it ruined u2girl's day every time she signed in to see more threads in EYKIW donated to voting and less to nickelsback241 who said U2 aren't very good on youtube.
 
Thanks for stirring the hive mind, digitize.

Now let's move on to some of the more ridiculous things that we did Survivors for in ye olde dayes. Or not.

I think a Survivor series could be a lot of fun, perhaps later this year.

Also, it's good to see you back (temporarily?) in EYKIW, this jolly wonderland, Ax.

I seem to recall doing silly things like music video survivor. Outside of song and album survivor, it always got a bit daft. I think Rate the Song produces more accurate results than Survivor, but the latter can be quite fun and competitive.

And what can I say? The hive mind stirred me.
 
I take it we're basically finished once the current polls wrap up? Would love to see a comprehensive list of everything, especially what a Top 100 looks like.

We are. And you'll see everything. :)

  1. I can live with this. Mercy in the Top 10, especially when it just edges out the mainstream U2-By-Numbers of Electrical Storm.

    Very telling that the band released three albums in this decade, and yet 4 of these top 10 tracks aren't on any of them, one never even officially released.

    I'm also rather shocked that Fez scored that high. Pretty cool. Equally shocked that Walk On didn't make the 10.
 
This actually isn't too bad, and isn't nearly as embarrassing as the 90's results…six of the Top 10 definitely belong there (albeit in a different order). As the best song U2's done post-JT, MOS should obviously be #1, and Walk On clearly should be somewhere in the Top 10. It goes without saying that Mercy belongs nowhere near upper half.

The list does demonstrate what a wildly inconsistent decade this was for U2, as a good number of the songs here are entirely forgettable.

Nel tuo opinione ;)
 
so that means you'll retract your previous post that used phrases such as "it goes without saying", "should obviously be #1" and "should clearly be somewhere in the top 10"?? ;) :up:
