How to play: Each album will have a series of rounds of voting. In an album's first round, all non-singles from the album will be listed and you vote for the song you think is the WORST. The song with the most votes is eliminated. This continues through the subsequent rounds until we are left with just one song from each album. These victorious songs proceed to the final, which will be conducted in the same manner until just one song is left, which you can consider to be the Best Non-Single or Least Objectionable Non-Single, depending upon your perspective.

If there's a draw, for most rounds, both songs are eliminated. If there's only 2 or 3 songs left, I'll leave the poll open for another day, when there'll hopefully be a decisive outcome.

In A Little While. The musical equivalent of sewage. I can't believe I was the only person to vote for this atrocity last round.

I like 'In A Little While'.

- I think my first time(s) hearing it live was in 2001 in GA; the song was sung right in front of me on the tip of the heart.

I missed the last round, so in this one I choose...
When I Look At The World

 

[U2Man]

In A Little While. The musical equivalent of sewage. I can't believe I was the only person to vote for this atrocity last round.

I know why!


New York, worst song among these. By far.

 

[MacPhistoPT]

In a Little while? New York? No way

I'd call both gems if compared with the atrocity named Wild Honey...

 

[Queen Bee]

I think I voted for one of the songs on the bottom of the list - I randomly clicked and voted

Wild Honey is better than In A Little While simply because Bono doesn't sound like a family of frogs live in his throat when he sings Wild Honey.

Peace On Earth.

In A Little While. The musical equivalent of sewage. I can't believe I was the only person to vote for this atrocity last round.

In a little while is brilliant! Best song of the 00's by far.

Voted for Kite. Worst song off ATYCLB imo. Dull, dull, dull

 

[Axver]

In a little while is brilliant! Best song of the 00's by far.

That's one of the most ridicuous things I've ever read on this forum.

 

[jonnytakeawalk]

Geez now that you mention it you're right. Gosh, how ridicuous am I

I have no idea what came over me. Thank you kindly for again showing me the ridicuosness of my opinon

 

[miss becky]

Wild Honey

 

[1stepcloser]

That's one of the most ridicuous things I've ever read on this forum.

I don't think it's ridiculous at all. In a little while is such a superb song. Melodically and vocally. Hence, you being the only person voting for it in the whole of the first round doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

 

[popacrobat]

in a little while is a great song


peace on earth is worst song left.

Man, are you stubborn with your choices!? Geez!

At least, I manage to sometimes enjoy songs like Grace and Wild Honey if I'm in the right mood... even though they're some of my least preferred U2. But I don't downright hate even a single U2 song! But to each his own.

 

[Tiger Edge]

When I Look at the World

In a Little While is such a rough song, but it definitely had potential. The "man dreams one day to fly" bridge in particular is one of my favorite lyrics from the U2 catalogue.
Bono's vocals there are so awful and the song is just lacking musicallyl. I think if they were to go back 10 years later and redo it with that bridge as guiding point for the lyrics, it would be an amazing song.
It's not the best song. But it's not complete sewage either.

 

[Irishteen]

Wild Honey, it's a fun little song but the lyrics bring it down

 

[XHendrix24]

Wild Honey is the second or third best song on this list.

Not that that's saying too much.

I voted Peace On Earth to save WH.

 

[the rockin edge]

wild honey again


i like in a little while

 

[cjboog]

Wild Honey is a great song
In A Little While is a great song

Peace On Earth is really bad

 

[bono_212]

I voted for New York.....


Wild Honey's not the best, but it's fun...I wish it could've lasted a little longer....

Will vote for New york til it's gone, and then In a Little While...the other three are good songs.. . IMO

 

[D-Bot]

That's one of the most ridicuous things I've ever read on this forum.

It's good that you're respectful of other's opinions.

Wild Honey.

Wild Honey

 

[catlhere]

I can't believe people actually think Peace On Earth is a better song than Wild Honey.

I loathe that crap U2 called music.

-votes POE-

more lyk POS, m i rite?11?!

 

[LMP]

Peace on Earth, great snippet before Walk On, but a boring song overall, gets my vote again this round

atleast Wild Honey is kind of fun

 

[GibsonGirl]

I think I voted for Wild Honey, but I can't be sure. As I said in the previous poll, except for Kite and WILATW, they're all rather horrible.

 

[Thora]

Peace on Earth

 

[Zoots]

I'm sure I'm in the minority when I say that Peace On Earth is really nice. Sometimes it is up there for me along with Beautiful Day!

I really love these lines...

And you become a monster, so the monster will not break you.

Jesus can you take the time to throw a drowning man a line?



I think it's one of the songs on ATYCLB where the lyrics don't suck for once.

 

[xaviMF22]

Yea peace on earth has great lyrics:

"Where I grew up there weren't many trees
Where there was we'd tear them down
And use them on our enemies"

 

[Zoots]

Yea peace on earth has great lyrics:

"Where I grew up there weren't many trees
Where there was we'd tear them down
And use them on our enemies"

What's wrong with those lyrics???

I think they're much better than 'life should be fragrant, rooftop to the basement' or 'lips/skips/fingertips' and 'walk/chalk/talk'!
