Songs You Meet In U2 Heaven - Round Thirteen: 90's Misc.

[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, the hallowed golden arches of PopMart allowed two "classics" to enter through its gates, Please & Gone.

Meanwhile, a record twenty-two other tracks (Acrobat/Bullet The Blue Sky/Desire/Discotheque/Do You Feel Loved/Even Better Than The Real Thing/Exit/Heartland/In God's Country/Lemon/Love Is Blindness/Miss Sarajevo/Mofo/Mysterious Ways/Out Of Control/Red Hill Mining Town/Staring At The Sun/Tomorrow/Ultra Violet/Wake Up Dead Man/Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses/Zoo Station) managed to stay above the 25% hurdle.

Acrobat/Love Is Blindness would have been elected with one changed ballot. Something to think about.

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

Three key mistakes I made:

1) I forgot Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me and added it after cjboog posted. I think it should have a clear path to election, but if it's down by one ballot, I'll have to make sure cjboog has a say.

2) If God Will Send His Angels only received three votes last round and is not in the competition. I posted the correct lists of returnees and "Songs That Managed To Stay On For One Round" but accidentally left the track in the master ballot list. All votes for it won't count for obvious reasons.

3) In keeping around "Angels" I accidentally cut out Wake Up Dead Man. Wake Up Dead Man is still a legitimate candidate and you can vote for it. If you already posted a ballot, don't worry, I'll just transfer over any Wake Up Dead Man votes from last time.

Shit, I missed the Pop round? That was quick. And LNOE isn't here? I'd have voted for that.

Shit, I missed the Pop round? That was quick. And LNOE isn't here? I'd have voted for that.

The forum became exceptionally active and it was shuffled down to page two rather quickly. I give these rounds a day a piece, and did with that one while my other requirement is that fifteen voters show up. I sometimes eyeball it and end the rounds early though when it's pretty much mathematically impossible for the candidates just below the line to be elected (ex. Acrobat needing to sweep four of four new ballots).

Ugh. Just realized I also left Gone/Please in the ballot list. They've both been elected. No worries, fans.

Hold Me is in better shape if we can confirm that cjboog would have voted for it. Mysterious Ways needs another ballot in its favor to clear the hurdle.

Wake Up Dead Man received two votes in the thread and I also gave it two votes from people that voted for it last time but probably overlooked it this time given my error (SamuelSmeloc & God Part III)
