Interference's Top 209 U2 Songs, The Results Thread!

[Irishteen]

This is going to be very controversial. Some serious moving around going on here.

Yeah a lot of the songs had huge shifts in position from the last contest it's surprising. I'm glad your posting by the way bram, makes me feel like I'm not talking to myself. Come on people viewing the thread throw in your opinions

 

[bram]

Wow, seems like almost every song in the top 100 has moved down so far. Can't be explained by NLOTH alone.

I love this! I'm surprised there aren't more people around yet.

I'm thinking Stuck In A Moment made a gigantic leap

By the way, where are these quotes coming from?

 

[onebloodonelife]

I'm guessing Rate Your Music. (Am I right, John? )

 

[Greatest Hits]

I like these "really insightful reviews"!

I love this! I'm surprised there aren't more people around yet.

Maybe they'll show up when more people start posting and this thread takes over the iSpy feed

By the way, where are these quotes coming from?

A variety of well respected reviewers

Maybe a select few have come there but really when you have the entire internet at your disposal and U2 are as hated as they are right now, you can shop around a little for reviews

"worst singing Bono has ever put on tape. He sounds like he has a frog stuck in his throat. This song is an embarrassment. You feel embarrassed for U2 when you hear it. It should be forgotten. Later pressings of the album should omit it. You should burn yourself a copy of the album without it"

I'm assuming he forgot to count it last time but it did not show up in the final chart so either everybody hated the song or he forgot to add it to the final results, either way it's one of the highest new entries

Haha--that must have been some type of weird oversight (intentional or not ).
