Please vote for your FAVOURITE song(s).
The top FOUR songs from this era proceed to the Grand Final. Fifth place may proceed as a wildcard.
(Fifth place in this semi or ninth place in the late eighties semi, whichever polls better, will proceed as a wildcard.)
Welcome to the Early Eighties Semi-Final in Best Song Survivor v2! The object of this game is to find Interference's favourite U2 songs. Each album will be featured in a single round with the non-album tracks from its era. The amount of finalists from each era is based on seeding from the latest U2 Album Survivor. These rounds will last 48 hours and will be multiple choice polls where you vote for your favourite tracks (within reason). A suggestion is to vote for the amount of tracks that will proceed to the next round, although this is not a hard and fast rule. Remember that there is a tradeoff: if you vote for more songs, the power of each of your votes is dampened, but if you vote for fewer songs, you get to spread your influence less far.
Only original U2 songs with official studio releases will compete. However, you are free to vote on the basis of live versions, alternate versions, remixes, etc., as in the normal version of Survivor. Basically whatever you think best represents the song in your mind.
The current semi-final features five songs each from Boy and War, four from October, one non-album single from the Boy era, and one non-album single from the October era. Nine of the sixteen songs were singles; only four, however, have ever appeared on a Best Of compilation, and one of them was as a hidden track. The last round was the Rattle and Hum era. There was a striking difference in the amount of votes for the top six and the rest. Unfortunately for sixth place, only five songs proceeded from RAH to the semis.
