My new goal: for Streets to not win.

 

[the tourist]

Until the End of the World

 

[Axver]

UTEOTW, yet again. Shouldn't have outlasted The Fly.

Won't be gutted if WOWY perishes though. Bad is the best song left.

 

[Globo14]

Bad is good.

But not better than the other 3.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

WOWY. I'm jumping on the Streets-Not-To-Win Wagon right after. Would like to see it happen just cause. I feel like I've won something just by seeing UTEOTW outlast the rest of AB and the 90s to get here. I'm pretty pleased about this fact.

 

[LadySpinHead]

UTEOTW. I'm surprised it made it this far.

 

[dazzledbylight]

WOWYzzzzzz

Bad's a striking song but not the best.......


go UTEOTW ! one of my all time favs

 

[Von Schloopen]

I can FEEL the excitement!

 

[Galeongirl]

WOWY again.... siiiiigh

 

[An Cat Gav]

Surprised and in many ways impressed that UTEOTW is still here, but I don't think it should be really. It's possibly my 3rd or 4th favourite song on AB, is absolutely wonderful and should have been the 5th single from AB but even so it's not a top 4 U2 song.

That said, I prefer it to WOWY.

 

[mama cass]

difficult one...

off the top of my head i would vote Streets off, but i can't because it has the Edge's BEST EVER guitar line (that opening)

With or without you has always been a special one, from my teens, so that has to stay too

Bad, is pure joy

so, Until the end of the world is it!

 

[Vlaco]

Wowy

 

[Moony]

The Fly

Bad, it's time to go.

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

80 s seem to be winning..... strange for interference.

 

[gvox]

One of these tunes is not like the others...and it's UTEOTW

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

Wowy for me.

The Fly out is a shame!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

80 s seem to be winning..... strange for interference.

OMG, u meen Nick wuz wrong??!

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

OMG, u meen Nick wuz wrong??!

Who s Nick?

 

[gvox]

Nikkles

 

[digitize]

Where is Nick? He hasn't been around here in a week or so.

 

[ImOuttaControl]

Oops, accidentally voted for UTEOTW. Please change my vote to Bad.

Bad...love the song, but I've been voting pretty much strictly off of album versions, and I would rank the remaining:

1. WOWY- U2's most timeless song. 25+ years later it still sounds fresh.
2. UTEOTW- Sonically phenomenal. Every member of U2 shines on this one.
3. Streets- Great...would be my #1 if the album version had the same energy as the live version.
4. Bad- I love the song, but I rarely, rarely listen to the album version. Yes, it has raw emotion, but live the song became something else entirely. The version on U22 gives me chills every time.

 

[Diemen]

One of these tunes is not like the others...and it's UTEOTW

Yup. Awesome song, amazing live, but it's just not on par with Bad or Streets, or even WOWY. I can totally understand people voting off WOWY cause it's been horrendous live for ages, but that's more Bono's fault than the song's.

 

[mikal]

I personally want UTEOTW to win just because it's my 2nd favorite U2 song behind Zooropa, which was voted off for some very awful reason.

 

[An Cat Gav]

Where is Nick? He hasn't been around here in a week or so.

Haven't seen him on here since someone called him a prick.

 

[the tourist]

Even though With Or Without You is in my top 5, I'd be okay with a double elimination here. 3 of these are in my top 10. That's good enough for me.

 

[OpenG180]

This poll was good when Lemon, Zooropa, The Fly and NYD were here.
