Best Song Survivor: Late 1980s Quarter Final Round VI

[Axver]

Please vote for your LEAST FAVOURITE song.

Welcome to the sixth and last late eighties quarter 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 seven songs from the late eighties quarter final will proceed to the eighties semi-final and meet the top five early eighties 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.

Heartland. Fuck.

The seven songs left at the end of this round proceed to the eighties semi-finals.

Running this can be lame sometimes.

Besides bandwagoning, I've been voting RTSS for the whole quarter-final. It's great but there's better, and too many better songs have been eliminated while it's hung around.

 

[bonocomet]

I don't know now every song here is amazing.

 

[CTU2fan]

Bad again, studio Bad <<< everything else here.

 

[the tourist]

Running To Stand Still.

 

[2861U2]

Don't feel bad, Axver. I know that when my favorite song comes up, it will be voted out very quickly. I'll be shocked if SIAMYCGOO makes it to the 3rd round of ATYCLB, but we shall see. And that song is waaaay better than Heartland.

Pride.

 

[Purplereign]

Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide

. . . and I just don't get the Running To Stand Still hate around here


pst . . . '33 mistakes' line made me giggle

One Tree Hill time

 

[alanah]

It'll be "Pride" once again.

 

[MMP]

Heartland. Fuck.

You're welcome.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'll hold on to my vote to see if I can help save RTSS down the line.

 

[Aardvark747]

aiwiy

 

[Mauwer]

Cheers ,

[phillyfan26]

Of what's left, I think Running to Stand Still is the weakest.

 

[theFly51]

ASOH

 

[Addicted To Bad]

. . . and I just don't get the Running To Stand Still hate around here

I see no hate around here.. mainly for a song like RTSS but the others have better studio version quality...just this

 

[Galeongirl]

RTSS.

 

[digitize]

RTSS, even though I love it and it is a beautiful song.

 

[LemonMelon]

RTSS is doomed, so I'm going with WOWY.

 

[gump]

After the utter lack of taste that was the elimination of Heartland, I'm back voting for Pride.

After the utter lack of taste that was the elimination of Heartland, I'm back voting for Pride.

qft, except i've gone back to voting for bad.

 

[coolian2]

the adjective.

 

[I am]

A Sort of Homecoming does not deserve to be in such company.. same as heartland did'nt

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I guess I'll toss my vote to Pride since it's closest to RTSS.

 

[dward1]

Bad...studio version is not the epic we are picturing in our heads

 

[Axver]

What the hell is with the sudden ASOH voting.

 

[bonocomet]

Well.... I've said it before and I'll say it again. Studio ASOH I don't enjoy nearly as much as live. Not to say it isn't an amazing song, but to me the studio version just doesn't have the magic that it has live. (Just as some feel that way about Bad or RTSS, I feel that about ASOH)
However I still don't know which song to vote here.

 

[cobl04]

. . . and I just don't get the Running To Stand Still hate around here

The Unforgettable Fire, by some way here.

 

[bono_212]

Pride...again and again and again and again.

 

[LemonMelon]

Pride...again and again and again and again.

I think I'll be joining you next round, if ASOH is in as much danger of elimination as it appears to be.
