Best Song Survivor: 1990s Semi Final III

[Axver]

Please vote for your LEAST FAVOURITE song.

Welcome to the third 1990s semi final in Best Song Survivor! The object of this game is to find Interference's favourite U2 song. To do so, songs will be eliminated album-by-album in 24 hour long rounds to leave the favourites to contest a final that will determine the very favourite. The top five songs from this semi final will proceed to the grand final, where they will meet the top seven 1980s songs and top four 2000s songs. Only original U2 songs with official studio releases will compete. Due to dominating past tournaments and the inevitable likelihood that they will do the same this time, Where The Streets Have No Name and One are not in the tournament and can be assumed default equal #1 over and above the ultimate winner.

After Slug's departure, the second song to be ousted from the semis was also a Passengers song, Miss Sarajevo.

again, i have to hold onto my vote to see what i need to do. i suspect i'll be voting lnoe to protect your blue room, however.

 

[Axver]

Glad Miss Sarajevo is gone.

Not quite sure what to vote here. Mysterious Ways or Lemon, perhaps? I'm kind of resigned to LNOE leaving. I hope YBR doesn't come under too much threat.

Your Blue Room is so overrated on these forums. Not a bad song, but it needs to go.

This.

Your Blue Room (again), until it's gone.

 

[cobl04]

Comes down to one of Mysterious Ways, Your Blue Room, Mofo, Last Night on Earth, Please, Lady With the Spinning Head or Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me for me here.

...aaaand I'll give it to Mysterious Ways I think. Something about that song has just always bugged me I guess.

There's something about the studio guitar tone that I don't find pleasing. It always sounds good live, but in the studio ... I can't put my finger on it.

 

[cobl04]

Pretty much the way I feel there. It's pretty kick ass live.

Probably something about it being really, really quiet and buried in the mix.

 

[ultraviolet7]

Lemon until it goes.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Lady with the Shrunken Head

this.

Well you better hurry up and stop saving your vote

 

[coolian2]

Well you better hurry up and stop saving your vote

need to know what the biggest competition will be first! no point piling onto one song only to be the only two people to vote for it!

 

[2861U2]

LNOE until gone. Save Your Blue Room!

 

[The Sad Punk]

Where do these complains even come from? I always thought the studio MW sounded pretty great.

I like all the songs on this list to some extent, I'm going with Please though.

 

[Axver]

Doesn't help that I like YBR and LNOE equally and would rather neither left.

For Mysterious Ways, I'm talking specifically about the chorus.

 

[dward1]

Your Blue Room and LNOE are clearly the next two to go but YBR needs to go first

When I complain about the guitar tone, I'm thinking specifically of the very start.

 

[bonocomet]

I'm going with YBR this time but LNOE is next.

Oh. Well, the distortion is heavier on the album, while in the live setting (especially ZooTV), the focus is on the wah effect. I tend to agree that the live sounds better.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

NOOOOO!!! Your Blue Room can't go!

I'm voting for LNOE again in this list of amazing songs.

Looks like people are kicking all the Passengers songs off first.

 

[cobl04]

u n me both

When I complain about the guitar tone, I'm thinking specifically of the very start.

I just get annoyed right from the get go. I don't think it's got anything to do with the production, at least not for me, I can't tell with that sorta stuff.

 

[God Part III]

Save Your Blue Room and vote for Last Night on Earth. Join the movement.

 

[Galeongirl]

This is a toughie. I've no idea what to vote for.

 

[An Cat Gav]

LAst Night On Earth, the studio version didn't deserve to make the final, pissed off that the two from Passengers went off before it. That will teach me to go away for a few days!!

 

[alanah]

I'm going with Last Night on Earth again and again...

 

[bathiu]

Last Night On Earth

 

[Purplereign]

Last Night On Earth

super disappointed that Miss Sarajevo is gone its a gorgeous little song
