Best Song Survivor: 1990s Semi Final IV

[Axver]

Please vote for your LEAST FAVOURITE song.

Welcome to the fourth 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.

The third round was a draw, with Your Blue Room and Last Night On Earth ousted together. Wow, EYKIW, the three Passengers songs are the first three to go; how unpredictable!

MW for me. Came down to it or Lemon and I think MW isn't produced as well. Plus Lemon has better lyrics.

 

[phillyfan26]

Miss Sarajevo should have stayed, but from that list, Slug and Your Blue Room were rightly ousted quickly. Not that they're bad songs, but the rest are better.

And YBR is highly, highly overrated.

 

[bonocomet]

Ug this gets really tough now. It wasn't easy casting a vote for MW.

 

[coolian2]

ugh, i don't know what i want to vote for.

i'll see if i need to vote to save something i want to stay in, otherwise...maybe please.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Wow, EYKIW, the three Passengers songs are the first three to go; how unpredictable!

yeah, it's like when viva davidoff "won" worst survivor. wow, a passengers b-side. wasn't expecting that!

for now, i'm holding off voting until i see who's voting for what, and to see if i need to protect something.

Miss Sarajevo should have stayed, but from that list, Slug and Your Blue Room were rightly ousted quickly. Not that they're bad songs, but the rest are better.

And YBR is highly, highly overrated.

My ranking of the original sixteen is something like this:

1. Acrobat
2. Gone
3. The Fly
4. Zooropa
5. Slug
6. Lady With The Spinning Head
7. Please
8. Your Blue Room
9. Last Night On Earth
10. HMTMKMKM
11. Mofo
12. Stay
13. UTEOTW
14. Lemon
15. Mysterious Ways
16. Miss Sarajevo

So yeah, I'm a bit disappointed about Slug and YBR. Especially Slug, since it falls within the five songs I want to be grand finalists.

 

[bono_212]

Seriously, Slug is one of my favorite songs by U2, so this is disappointing.

 

[2861U2]

Acrobat

 

[dward1]

Mofo-to start a concert it is excellent but feels a bit forced on the album

 

[bonocomet]

Lady With The Oddly Shaped Head

I hope this one stays around for awhile so I can keep seeing what new name you'll come up with for it each time.

 

[An Cat Gav]

Please, never been one of my favourites, especially live.

 

[stagman]

voting for MW this early is absurd.
I voted LWTSH rather than what i wanted to keep you wolves at bay

 

[the tourist]

Wow, interference. Way to not branch out. Simply because it wasn't on an album, I'm guessing you'll fuck over HMTMKMKM next?

 

[Axver]

Wow, interference. Way to not branch out. Simply because it wasn't on an album, I'm guessing you'll fuck over HMTMKMKM next?

Duh. If it wasn't on an album, it clearly wasn't good enough!



I'll be sorely let down if LWTSH goes, though it's lasted longer than any b-side; it's the only one to outlast any album tracks.

 

[major_panic]

Who the HELL voted for Zooropa. Fail and leave.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Lemon - 8 votes.
Stay - 0 votes.

No!

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

sadly, i voted for lemon to save lwtsh.

Lemon - 8 votes.
Stay - 0 votes.

No!

trust me, if i weren't trying to save lwtsh, i would've voted for stay. it was my first reaction tbh.

 

[xtrmx]

Same here but I need to save this odd Lady.

 

[alanah]

Lady With the Spinning Head.

 

[Axver]

Ugh, if I'd known these results in advance, I'd have voted Lemon. As I said earlier, it was close between MW and Lemon for me and I'd be quite happy to oust either to save LWTSH.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i can change it for you

 

[coolian2]

[KhanadaRhodes]

could you change my vote over to lemon please, dear?

of course

 

[coolian2]

of course

thanks a heap

 

[Axver]

This would be an excellent thing.

 

[Galeongirl]

But will it still matter? I'm tempted to vote MW too, pretty much same position you're in(Freaky when we agree on 90s U2 stuff!) but yeah, I'll go with Lemon.

 

[Addicted To Bad]

Please
