Rest of U2 Survivor: Passengers - Round 9

[the tourist]

Agreed, but Miami and Playboy Mansion aint in that category.

Maybe we should organise a tie.

1. Wake Up Dead Man
2. Do You Feel Loved?
3. Mofo
4. Please
5. Last Night on Earth
6. If You Wear That Velvet Dress
7. If God Will Send His Angels
8. Miami
9. The Playboy Mansion

God, what a weak album. The 90s really sucked for U2 in the studio.

that wouldn't be a bad thing. My vote goes to Playboy Mansion.

that wouldn't be a bad thing. My vote goes to Playboy Mansion.

And mine goes to Miami. The tie is already started!

Sad but true.

No, quick hour-long rounds where Miami gets mercy ruled and then Playboy Mansion does. Because Miami deserves to go out first.

 

[the tourist]

I think at the very end of all of this, we should have one final round. That round should be all the songs that were eliminated first from their respective albums, and we'd vote off the ones we like the most.

We're back to 48 hour rounds after this album (mercy rules excepted, obviously).

But Playboy Mansion deserves to get the first kick.

At the end of this, I'm doing "Rest of U2 Survivor Mini-Games" with little random votes like that. That will be to distract you all while Axver prepares the Live U2 Survivor.

I'll allow this only because you were like, what? Seven when this album came out?

There were good songs, but it's not a good album. Hence when I said "the 90s sucked in the studio." U2's 90s albums were all poor performances. Achtung Baby and Pop had good songs, but were poorly executed/unfinished.

Zooropa just sucked.

 

[phillyfan26]

And I was six in March of '97.

And I was six in March of '97.

So you had a baby face when Babyface came out?

 

[corianderstem]

I know there's always someone who says such things during such conversations, but ...

God, I feel old.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

And I was six in March of '97.

Sorry...

It all comes down to personal preference of course but I would take the highs and lows of the 90's over all other decades, poor production and all...

There is something about POP which I love and I can't explain... Being a teenager at the time and really indentifying with the songs probably helps

 

[the tourist]

I feel old, and I was only 12 when Pop came out.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

ah, it's all relative

There are people on here who were teenagers when The Joshua Tree came out or War or even Boy...

Those periods I have trouble relating to on a personal level as well. Like Pfan, I can apprciate the songs for what they are but I don't have the same connection.

 

[the tourist]

Like Pfan, I can apprciate the songs for what they are but I don't have the same connection.

Oddly, I have a better connection with the songs from the 80s than I do with the bulk of the songs from the 90s or 00s. Which is why whenever I make a list of my top 10 U2 songs, 8 of those 10 are from the 80s.

 

[phillyfan26]

I was a teenager when Bomb came out, and I don't have a connection with it at all.

 

[Zoots]

Beach Sequence. AFN is better!

 

[the tourist]

Beach Sequence. AFN is better!

I like the lyrics in Beach Sequence better.

 

[Axver]

I can't believe I missed a round.

And I can't believe you people ousted United Colours! Oh well. This round, Always Forever Now. I love it, but the other three are my top three from Passengers, so it's the only choice really.

 

[Zoots]

I didn't know Beach Sequence was this popular.

 

[corianderstem]

Time to say night-night to this poll, too.

POLL.

CLOSED.
