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.
 
Dirty Day. I haven't a clue how it got this far while brilliance like The Wanderer didn't. Dirty Day may be amazing live but it's horrendously sub-standard in the studio.
 
Zooropa. It's an amazing piece of art and the final 2 minutes are just :drool: but I love Dirty Day too much...

Yeah, the album version is weak compared with the live versions but I still love it.

Anyway, Zooropa will probably win... it's fair
 
Dirty Day

the album version is barely listenable for me

whereas Zooropa is amazing:cute:
 
I find it kind of amusing that these songs are direct opposites in a sense.

Zooropa:
Studio - Amazing; Live - Failure

Dirty Day:
Studio - Failure; Live - Amazing
 
^^ That's right

The live version... rocks

The album version is weaker but it has a special feeling and a special mood. Just like, i.e. Your Blue Room I think... Bono's vocals are just :crack: in a good way

Dirty Day (Album)= :yawn:

Zooropa (Album)= :drool: :hyper: :love: :rockon: :up:

This proves, with irrefutable evidence that Zooropa should win. And that's a FACT, imo.
 
I can't even vote. :ohmy:

How does one even choose between these two? ...argh.....Dirty Day. I have too much love for Zooropa. :drool:

It wasn't a failure in the studio.

Yes it is. The production's flat and Bono sounds like he's got something stuck in his throat.
 
Okay, this vote was over before it even began. The outcome has been obvious for days now. I'm ready for what's next! :hyper: What is next anyways? Am I going to get to vote for If You Wear That Velvet Dress Next? I hope so. :yuck:

That's your opinion.

I love the live version, but the studio version has a certain subtlty to it that makes it fit will into the rest of the album. A more rocking Dirty Day, more similar to the live versions, wouldn't fit the album as well - that's why the two remixes of Dirty Day - which are great, especially the Bitter Kiss mix - are better as stand-alone tracks.

IMO.

I agree with this. :up:

Would somebody be kind enough to post the Bitter Kiss mix? :shifty:
