Songs You Meet In U2 Heaven - Round Six: Joshua Tree

[BigMacPhisto]

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, voters declared a whopping four sonic landscapes to be worthy of first induction bliss!

Meanwhile, three other tracks (Out Of Control/Tomorrow/Wire) managed to stay above the 25% hurdle. Tomorrow actually gained over the previous two rounds, passing the 50% mark. So, if you're on the fence, give it a shove.

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

One Tree Hill - 9 (64.3%)
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For/In God's Country - 8 (57.1%)
Bullet The Blue Sky/Exit - 7 (50%)

Trip Through Your Wires - 1 (7.1%)


One Tree Hill needs to receive 3-5 straight votes or 5 of the next 6.

The two tracks right below it would need to sweep six straight votes. They can miss one after that.

Certainly a lot of votes for Joshua Tree as an album, but no unified consensus as to which are its better tracks.
