Please vote for your FAVOURITE song(s).
The top EIGHT songs from this era proceed to the Grand Final. Ninth place may proceed as a wildcard.
(Fifth place in the early eighties semi or ninth place in this semi, whichever polls better, will proceed as a wildcard.)
Welcome to the Late 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 final features seven songs from the Joshua Tree, six from the Unforgettable Fire, five from Rattle and Hum, and one UF era b-side: Love Comes Tumbling, the sole b-side thus far to reach the finals. Nine of the nineteen songs were singles, while eight of the nineteen have featured on Best Of compilations. The early eighties semi had some surprising results. Although An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart won the Boy round, it failed to progress to the finals, while The Electric Co. stormed into a finals berth as the only song from Boy. The four guaranteed finalists are two songs from War, one from Boy, and one from October; non-album single 11 O'clock Tick Tock may also earn a finals berth as fifth place, depending on the results of this round.
