Welcome once again to our U2 Hall of Fame where we induct the cornerstones of U2's sprawling, awe-inspiring catalog.

In our last election, a weak crop of newcomers helped voters find what they were looking for, electing our first holdover, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, in its third round of eligibility.

Meanwhile, a record twelve other tracks (Angel Of Harlem/Bullet The Blue Sky/Desire/Exit/Heartland/In God's Country/Love Comes Tumbling/Out Of Control/Red Hill Mining Town/Spanish Eyes/Sweetest Thing/Tomorrow) managed to stay above the 25% hurdle.

Remember, you can vote any way you please, hopefully keeping your standards consistent from one album to the next.

This Round's Ballot:

Acrobat
Angel Of Harlem
Bullet The Blue Sky
Desire
Even Better Than The Real Thing
Exit
The Fly
In God's Country
Heartland
Love Comes Tumbling
Love Is Blindness
Mysterious Ways
One
Out Of Control
Red Hill Mining Town
Spanish Eyes
Sweetest Thing
So Cruel
Tomorrow
Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The World
Ultra Violet
Until The End Of The World
Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
Zoo Station

1. The Electric Co.
