Disappointed Crumbs finally perished, and that it went before the snoozefest that is SYCMIOYO.
Would love AMAAW to stick around to be a finalist, but that's obviously highly unlikely. Will be a bit boring if the two finalists are COBL and Vertigo. COBL deserves it, but Vertigo's not even a top five song on this album.

The line: "I've had enough of romantic love...I'd give it up...for a miracle drug..." just bothers me. 
So that's my vote.

A Man and A Woman and Vertigo are the best songs on the album. SYCMIOYO is the weakest song left.

I like COBL, but it's over rated here. The second half of Miracle Drug, beginning with Edge's solo is outstanding. The best live version of this was that promo appearance on some European TV show, CD:UK?
That's saying very little. #pileon
You're a moron if you give HTDAAB any less than 9/10.
(No kidding. Nothing here I'd even consider permitting near my top 30 U2 songs.)

AMAAW. Easily the worst song on the album.

Well the final three will clearly be Vertigo, COBL & Miracle Drug.
Time to make a double elimination for the other two!

Wow, I expected this to be a battle between Miracle Drug and Sometimes... not AMAAW! 
While I love Miracle Drug far more than the other two, I thought AMAAW was held in higher regard here. Either way, Sometimes should go.
Oh look, tied that mofo!

Didn't think it would be this tight. I would have liked Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own to have progressed from this album... Cracking song from my most recent listen a week ago. I suppose I'll have to vote Man & Woman to save it, even though Miraculous Drug is the weakest in my book.

Generally if there's a U2 song I'm not that fond of, I say that it's poor by U2 standards but ok by other benchmarks. Miracle Drug however is shit whichever way I weigh it up. U2 may have done more basic or more repetative songs but never anything more boring than this.
I don't want to lose AMAAW.I was hoping that it would compete with Vertigo for the number two spot. I guess it hasn't grown on Interference that much... yet.
I'm just impressed it's come this far. As recently as early 2009, it was the very first song to depart from HTDAAB.
The comparison between then and now is striking. Most comparisons have been reasonably close, but Interference has seriously changed its tune on HTDAAB in the last four years. This was the ranking in 2009:
11. A Man And A Woman
10. Yahweh
9. One Step Closer
8. All Because Of You
7. Crumbs From Your Table
6. Love And Peace Or Else
5. Miracle Drug
4. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
3. Original Of The Species
1-2. QUALIFIED: Vertigo and City of Blinding Lights
Meanwhile, when we got people to vote in a single multiple choice round for their favourites from the HTDAAB era, this was the outcome. Again, the comparison is striking, especially for AMAAW:

OOTS at #3? Everyone must have grown to hate the song after it gave them diabetes.

Please, people. If there is a tie, try not to break it! Vote for something else. That way we get rid of songs sooner.
