Please vote for your LEAST FAVOURITE song(s).
The FIVE SONGS with the most votes go to the eighties semi final. DO NOT vote for songs you have not heard.
Welcome to Worst Song Survivor, a spinoff from Best Song Survivor v2 that shouldn't be taken too seriously. This is a quickfire tournament for shits and giggles, to see what Interference's least favourite U2 song is. The selection criteria was simple: every song that received 0-5 votes in the album rounds of Best Song Survivor v2 automatically qualified, while each album had to contribute a certain number of songs according to a seeding system - the less popular the album was in the latest Best Album Survivor, the more songs it had to contribute. Hence the appearance of some songs that exceeded five votes. These rounds will last 48 hours and will be multiple choice polls where you vote for your least favourite tracks (within reason). Remember that there is a tradeoff: if you vote for more songs, the power of each of your votes is dampened, but if you vote for fewer songs, you get to spread your influence less far.
Only original U2 songs with official studio releases will compete. However, you are free to vote on the basis of live versions, alternate versions, remixes, etc., as in the normal version of Survivor. Basically whatever you think best represents the song in your mind.
Due to weak polling, we might as well just skip any semi rounds and I'll just send the top five songs from each era to a grand final. Last round the top five were pretty bloody obvious. The War era fared worst, sending three of its five tracks through to the final. A ranking might not mean much, what with the even voting (plus I'm pressed for time and you can go look at the poll), but the finalists are Red Light, Boy/Girl, J. Swallow, Angels Too Tied to the Ground, and The Refugee. Is That All? missed the finals by a single vote.
