Rest of U2 Survivor: October - Round 8

[corianderstem]

There was no rejoicing in Mudville as Rejoice was shown the door (28 votes).

VOTE FOR YOUR LEAST FAVORITE SONG

Polls will remain open for 48 hours, unless one song has taken enough of a beating after a day or so, in which case we'll call it an act of mercy and move on to the next round.

Songs in this round:

- Gloria
- Tomorrow

Criteria for song selection (at least for the albums): anything on the regular pressings of the Best Of 1980-1990, Best Of 1990-2000, and U2:18 is excluded.

 

[corianderstem]

I can't vote against Gloria. I love it so.

 

[u2trinity]

oh , now the spelling of the titles is biased .


G-L-O-R-I-A

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Tomorrow > Gloria.

Though technically... if we're going "G-L-O-R-I-A!", then that's a different Gloria

 

[Axver]

Though technically... if we're going "G-L-O-R-I-A!", then that's a different Gloria

Yeah, and I don't like that one.

Choosing between these two is painful. I'd probably ordinarily vote Tomorrow, but I'm really enjoying it at the moment, and, well, I'd like to see it compete with Gloria.

Biased? Please! I was just showing off my fantastic spelling skills, which I must prove to you all after misspelling "Birck."

 

[LemonMelon]

THIS round makes me cry. Tomorrow must go, unfortunately, simply because Gloria is incredible.

Won't you be back tomorrow
Won't you be back tomorrow
Will you be back tomorrow
Open up, open up
To the lamb of God
To the love of he who made
The blind to see
He's coming back
He's coming back
I believe it
Jesus coming

I'm gonna be there
I'm gonna be there mother
I'm gonna be there mother
I'm going out there
And you're gonna be there...

Gloria... in te domine

If it were live versions it would be closer...Gloria live > Gloria studio, whereas Tomorrow studio at least approaches Tomorrow live.

It is a hideous crime how infrequently performed Tomorrow has been. October --> Tomorrow is one of the band's most beautiful and unjustifiably obscure segues.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

Gloria

Indeed. Nice one in that Glasgow 1983-03-24 gig. That might be one of the last performances too, come to think of it.

 

[Zoots]

Tomorrow is moving and amazing but Gloria is classic!

 

[the tourist]

Tomorrow.

 

[coolian2]

2, 3, 4!

 

[AchtungGirl219]

I love Gloria, but I had to vote for it. Tomorrow just means too much to me...

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

It's currently tied 11-11. Tomorrow may have a chance

 

[Mirrorballman83]

gloria

 

[liamcool]

Gloria.

 

[Marien]

Gloria

 

[phanan]

Tomorrow. Nothing is even close to Gloria on this album.

 

[intedomine]

Gloria is so perfect that it makes Tomorrow seem like a b-side from Scott Stapp's solo career.

 

[Axver]

... no.

Just no.

No U2 song can make another U2 song seem that bad. Even in the context of Streets vs Elvis Ate America, the latter is still gold compared to anything involving Scott Stapp.

 

[cruzila]

Toooomorrow, Tooooomorrow

 

[phillyfan26]

I voted Tomorrow. It's just ... Gloria, man. Gloria. We ain't talkin' bout just some song. We talkin' 'bout Gloria. Not just any song. Not a song. Not a song. Not a song. Gloria, man. Gloria.

 

[martha]

Gloria is my second fave U2 song of all time, so Tomorrow got the boot.

 

[the tourist]

What a close race!

 

[corianderstem]

Still another day for voting ... anything could happen!

Who knew teh internetz could be so exciting!?!

 

[LemonMelon]

This poll...

COME ON GLORIA

 

[u2trinity]

Gloria is so perfect that it makes Tomorrow seem like a b-side from Scott Stapp's solo career.

 

[bonocomet]

It was an easy vote for me. Had it been Rejoice vs Gloria it would have been much tougher. Not that I don't love Tomorrow, that's the crazy thing about these polls, I love the song so much, it's amazing, but there were just so many good songs here. Tomorrow got my vote.
