Rate the Song Series: Twilight

[Irishteen]

So the first round went well with I Will Follow getting 52 votes and getting itself a score of 7.48 and making it our new number 1! . Boy/Girl faired less well on both counts with just 32 votes giving it a score of 4.41 which is enough to make it the second best U2 song ever! (for now).

9 from me, probably the best moment on all of Boy. Good lyrics, great groove with the bass and drums and I love Edge's solo a lot

 

[SeattleVertigo]

8 - Quality song

5. i think people are going to rate Boy too high because it's the first of the polls. i guess if you really feel that this song is an 8 or a 9, then i won't argue, but with 10 being the highest rating, i don't know that this song is indeed worthy of that high of a ranking.

I really do honestly love Twilight, seriously it's in my top 50 no competition. 3rd best song the band made before TUF

 

[mikal]

oh, cool. then i can't argue.

 

[Slapnutz]

The studio version is a solid 7, but the live version I'd give a 9. It was always pretty special when performed live.

 

[theFly51]

Gave it a 9

 

[Irishteen]

Gave it a 9

Seeing as there's only one 9, did you actually vote in the poll?

 

[Lemonchick]

8. I would've given a 10 to the demo version though.

That'll be up for voting soon

This song's an easy 10 for me. I rank Boy as U2's third best album, and although I usually rank TEC as its best song, some days I'm tempted to say Twilight is. Amazing song, don't know how it became this awesome after that demo version!

 

[Rosebud]

I give it an 8. Love the song, but can't say it's my absolute favorite from Boy-era.

By the way, who gave it a 1?

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

That'll be up for voting soon

if that song gets any less than a 10, something's rotten in the state of interference.

I voted on the poll, but it didn't go through correctly. Love this song, gave it a 9.

Did you accidentally give it a 0?

 

[LemonMelon]

No, no, it went through eventually.

Anyone giving this less than a 6 has no taste in anything and should have their mouse taken away.

I was hoping you gave it the zero so I could discount that vote and give it an extra 9

 

[Axver]

Somebody voted zero?

That's a fail of spectacular proportions.

 

[intedomine]

Terrific song, but only a 7, because there are many other songs on this album that are better, and I gave Another Day an 8, which I prefer overall.

 

[dan_smee]

6 - very cool song, but underdone

You really think this is no better than Inside Out?!

 

[dan_smee]

You really think this is no better than Inside Out?!

Performance on inside out is shit, but there is something about it that I like.

There are a number of things id change on twilight if I were a producer. Not least of which the 6 bars of the solo where Edge bends the same note over and over and over. Reminds me of

YouTube - Tenacious D one note song

 

[An Cat Gav]

8. great song, very interesting subject matter, great guitar lines, overall creepy feel, love this song.

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

9

I love it, especially live

i gave it a 5 and plan on keeping my mouse. once again, i think people are rating this song too high.....or maybe every song will be rated 8 and 9. i'm trying to keep a wide scale. i personally would rate a song like Bad a 10, maybe RTSS a 9, Mofo an 8. personally, Twilight doesn't compare to either of those songs....though when An Cat Dubh poll comes out, expect a high rating.
