ATYCLB and HTDAAB should tie this time. Wipe them both out.

 

[the tourist]

ATYCLB and HTDAAB should tie this time. Wipe them both out.

I agree 100%.

 

[Vlaco]

ATYCLB and HTDAAB should tie this time. Wipe them both out.

I can live with that. Voted Bomb for the third time in a row. Boy definitely needs to stay.

 

[LemonMelon]

3 people voted for Boy already?!? It's one of my favorite debuts of all time.

I should have voted strategically. I don't like Bomb all that much more than ATYCLB.

 

[U2girl]

The wannabe blues record has to go. And the biggest mess of a U2 album.

 

[the tourist]

Wow. Boy has 4 votes already? Something is seriously wrong with this part of the forum.

 

[Galeongirl]

I'm having a tough time here.

ATYCLB has 5 songs I like, 2 boring arse songs, 1 indifferent, and three horrible ones.

War has 6 good songs, 2 meh songs and 2 horrible ones.

And Rattle and Hum still isn't really an album.

I guess ATYCLB has to go.

 

[LadySpinHead]

I'm still on the fence between War and Bomb, but at this point War may be a wasted vote, so I'll go with Bomb. But War- don't get comfortable.

 

[trojanchick99]

Bomb is pretty much my least favorite U2 album. So yeah.

 

[nielsgov]

War, again. i think it's going to take a few more rounds.

Bomb now is fine for me as well.

 

[popacrobat]

Wow. Boy has 4 votes already? Something is seriously wrong with this part of the forum.

Wow. Atomic Bomb has eight votes already? Something is seriously wrong with this part of the forum.

 

[LemonMelon]

The Boy voters are apparently more wrong.

 

[corianderstem]

I voted for Hutdab, but realized I really wanted to vote for R&H. Oh well. I don't care enough to beg and plead for digitize to try and change it.

 

[gvox]

Shit is getting real. I have no idea what to pick.

 

[digitize]

I'm more than willing to change it if you'd like

 

[Salome]

I voted POP. It's a bit of a mess. And it features my 2 least favourite U2 songs.

 

[corianderstem]

I'm more than willing to change it if you'd like

Okay, sure. Please switch me to Rattle and Hum for this round. Thanks!

 

[OpenG180]

It really is hard to dismantle this awful bomb..

 

[OpenG180]

Btw, Boy is one of the best debut albums ever. And ppl are voting out Boy while they can vote out ATYCLB and Bomb. Go figure.

 

[gvox]

I caved. I voted the way I did because my other choice only has 1 vote, so it's not like I could have helped it along any faster. I don't see it making it past the next round or so, though.

 

[digitize]

So... I would like to humbly request that voting strategically be avoided, because it skews results. I obviously can't force people to not do it, but I definitely discourage it.

 

[gvox]

The album I voted for would have been my pick in the next, or following, round anyways, so it's of little consequence really.

 

[lemonfly]

Wouldn't it be more fun/interesting if the results of each round were made public only after the polling closed (what I'm trying to say is so we couldn't see voting in progress)?

It's been tried before. I believe the number of votes plummeted. This is really my biggest issue with this format.

Hmmm. Well, if you're not going to have strategic voting, what's the point? "Skewing" the results, away from, what? Accuracy? Please.

I mean, it is "Survivor", right? By definition, I think a big part of it is strategic voting. Otherwise, it might just as well be a normal rate the song/album series of polls, right?

We're not really talking about scientific results here anyway, so what not let people have some fun with it? I think anyone whose been here a while could list the ranking all the records would get right now, and at most only be wrong in one or two slots.

Strategic voting might yield some surprises in what will likely be otherwise very predictable results. And you did say people could vote on any criteria they wished...which is what they are going to do anyway.

Boy rules, y'all are idiots

The only reason I voted for Hut Dab over War is I'd like to see War have more representation.

Boy is a great debut album, but I like more songs on HTDAAB than I do on Boy.

 

[cobl04]

That's perfectly okay dissenting opinions are quite acceptable, though some members think otherwise.

 

[Axver]

ATYCLB still isn't dead, but Passengers - one of U2's finest artistic achievements - is? Though I won't mind if HTDAAB carks it first. Both are on about the same level.

Stunned by the votes for Boy. It's only U2's second best album!
