Rate the Song Series: "40"

[Irishteen]

You all know the drill, vote based on studio or live or a mix whatever and the poll will be open for one day

And ignore what the poll says and rate "40"

 

[A stor]

I gave it an "8" because, I love the simplicity of the music. Soothing guitar and soulful vocals.

 

[mikal]

7 because it was a great live staple in the 80's.

 

[gvox]

40 / the number of options in the poll = 4

 

[nielsgov]

Beautiful closer. 8

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Great live, awful on the album. It gets a 3.

 

[LemonMelon]

8. Unspeakably gorgeous, lovely way to end the album, but always just slightly underwhelming.

 

[coolian2]

a generous four.

 

[blueeyedgirl]

7. And I got to sing along with it in the 80s

 

[Axver]

6. Studio only, it'd be about a 3; live only, it'd be about a 9. I let it average out.

 

[Alisaura]

5 - Eh.

 

[An Cat Gav]

9. What a stunningly beautiful, low key and subtle way to end an album entitled War.

 

[cobl04]

8. Unspeakably gorgeous, lovely way to end the album, but always just slightly underwhelming.

i think i'll just quote your posts from now on

 

[intedomine]

Again, it's lacking something spesh, like the whole of side 2.

Roll on Unforgettable Fire round. The burning question is whether BAD can snare the yellow jersey from NYD.

 

[Aardvark747]

Album version bores me

1

 

[The Sad Punk]

Boring in any form.

But I wouldn't want them to end a concert in any other way, so I dunno. It's... weird?

 

[gman]

Album version is less inspiring than the live versh......but then again...thats true for all u2 songs IMHO

I scored it an 8
