Please vote for your FAVOURITE song(s).
The top SIX songs from this era proceed to the 2000s Semi-Final.
Note: To clarify, "No Line on the Horizon" includes all versions of the song - i.e. it encompasses NLOTH II.
Welcome to the No Line on the Horizon era round 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 HTDAAB era featured a surprisingly even vote. However, this was not a compliment to the era. For the first time, an era polled so poorly that only two songs successfully garnered over half of the total vote; in all previous rounds at least four songs, and usually more, won over half the vote. One song, however, has enjoyed a stunning turn-around in how Interference rates it. As recently as 2009, A Man and a Woman was widely derided. We ran both versions of Survivor back then - in the original version, it was the very first song to be voted off, while in v2 (i.e. this format) it placed 15th. Now? Third, sweeping it into the finals. By contrast, All Because of You and Original of the Species both received their worst results ever.

The song still carries a bit of mystery around it too I think. 
It is the probably the most ridiculed song on this forum in recent years!
