Best Song Survivor: All That You Can't Leave Behind Round II

[Axver]

Please vote for your LEAST FAVOURITE song.

Welcome to the second round for All That You Can't Leave Behind 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 three songs from this album will proceed to the 2000s semi-final. 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 first song eliminated from ATYCLB was Grace.

In A Little While until it's gone.

Surprised (and disappointed) Stuck got so few votes last round, but now that Grace is gone it should pick up a few more. I'd nearly vote for it over IALW.

 

[bonocomet]

Wild Honey. Sweet little song but next up on my list.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

wild honey.

 

[corianderstem]

Peace On Earth

 

[coolian2]

i still want one big mercy ruling that eliminates the whole album.

voted for wild honey.

 

[Axver]

I don't really think Wild Honey is all that bad. Not a particularly good song by any stretch of the imagination, but this album has a few worse tracks that should go before it does.

I'd rank the album like this:

Fine U2 Listening
(1. TGBHF, if you have a good edition of the album.)
1. Walk On
2. WILATW

Average U2 Listening
3. Kite
4. Beautiful Day

Mediocre U2 Listening
5. Grace

Poor U2 Listening
6. Elevation
7. New York
8. Wild Honey
9. Peace On Earth

Disrespectful U2 Listening
10. Stuck In A Moment
11. In A Little While

 

[LemonMelon]

The studio version of Elevation is an abomination. However, I may try to help save Wild Honey if I can.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Wild Honey has gotta go.

 

[CTU2fan]

I like Wild Honey. Voted PoE.

 

[digitize]

In A Little While until it's gone.

Surprised (and disappointed) Stuck got so few votes last round, but now that Grace is gone it should pick up a few more. I'd nearly vote for it over IALW.

Don't worry, Stuck will be out of here soon enough. But I'm chasing down Wild Honey with the rest of the bandwagon now.

I wish TGBHF was truly on the album. That song is amazing.

 

[intedomine]

In a Little While, easy choice here.

Stuck deserves to hang around, something different for U2 and executed brilliantly. Beautiful Day got a vote last round . It;s one of the few factually perfect songs ever to be written. One of U2's finest moments.

 

[MMP]

New York.

 

[SamuelSmeloc]

Stuck.

 

[cobl04]

I'll always have a soft spot for Stuck, but I know I'm fighting a losing battle.

But come on people, at least Wild Honey is kind of fun, and has a catchy hook. Elevation's shithouse.

I hope that New York lasts for a bit. It's my favorite pointless song on the album.

Oh thanks for that, now you've scarred me for life because of that picture.

 

[coolian2]

less disturbing than those pictures purportedly of her posing naked from years ago.

 

[phillyfan26]

Studio versions:

Stuck in a Moment, Elevation, Wild Honey, Peace on Earth, New York, and Grace all suck.

 

[digitize]

Can we just mercy rule this?

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Can we just mercy rule this?

the whole album? yes.

wait, what?
