Instructions: Simple. This is a traditional survivor. You will vote for your LEAST FAVORITE track!

The poll will be open for 24 hours.

Here is a list of tracks in this poll, all linked to YT for your reference.

Love Comes Tumbling
Lady With The Spinning Head / UV1
Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me
The Ground Beneath Her Feet
 
So we've got one of the most sublime songs U2 ever made, their best dance song, one of their most balls to the wall rock songs, and...

Oh, The Ground Beneath Her Feet? A good song indeed, but not even close to equalling the greatness of the other three.

Seriously people there's only one option here.

I agree with you. I hope more people join us in this cause.
 
I've had to make a similar decision like this before relating to a current girlfriend and an ex who wanted back.

No matter the option I was going to regret having to even make a decision. I had to go for Love Comes Tumbling here - I have an irrational soft spot for The Ground Beneath Her Feet.
 
Huh, HMTMKMKM the only one with no votes so far this round.

If TGBHF goes, it will be my next target.
 
TGBHF is such an outlier, like nothing else in their discography. And it's fantastic. The only legitimate reason for voting it off to me is because Bono didn't write the lyrics.

But as a track; the instrumentation, the production, the singing, I think it's the best thing left.

I'm also surprised Axver isn't still crying in a bathtub over 11 O'Clock's dismissal.

:up:

I love the initial notes. Has a tropical island vibe, and then the ambience morphs beautifully. Saw it live in concert, but it was acoustic. (I hate acoustic sets in rock concerts)
 
Love Comes Tumbling for the win.

Ground Beneath Her Feet to save it (and it probably is my least favourite here).

I don't care who wrote the lyrics, though they aren't particularly exceptional. Definitely the performance, not the lyricism, defines the song. Like I said in a past thread, it's worthy of the top ten, but top four exceeds its station.

And those acoustic live versions were unforgivable.

As was voting off 11OTT. Yes, I still view EYKIW as full of disgraceful heathens.
