[The Scientist]

But we have all heard them or have a chance to hear them. They are there to anyone. We have those songs and some of us really love some of them. They have become part of the U2 catalog for a lot of fans. They should be allowed in because they are still studio songs.

Ok they are allowed. Again, they need votes to make a dent in the final votes. These are personal choices I'm asking (not based on sales or public perception like some suggested) so make your list accordingly. I think it weird to vote demos over released songs but different strokes for different folks. I allowed unreleased songs performed live so demos is not that far off

 

[purpleoscar]
