Rest of U2 Survivor: The Joshua Tree - Round 5

[corianderstem]

Exit caught the cure and went astray with 25 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:

- Running To Stand Still
- Red Hill Mining Town
- In God's Country
- One Tree Hill


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]

Canary In a Coal Mine

I mean Red Hill Mining Town.

 

[LemonMelon]

It crushes my soul to do this, but...

In God's Country

 

[the tourist]

In God's Country, on principle alone. Since it took out Exit. And is easily the weakest song left.

 

[phillyfan26]

Why won't In God's Country go? I mean, it's a good song, but it's the 9th best song on this album.

 

[phanan]

Don't worry. In God's Country's time has come.

 

[cruzila]

Red Hill Mining Town.

 

[LemonMelon]

Why won't In God's Country go? I mean, it's a good song, but it's the 9th best song on this album.

Opinion =/= fact

 

[SeattleVertigo]

No point waiting around for strategic reasons when the only one to vote for here is Red Hill Mining Town.

 

[xaviMF22]

Red hill blows


along with that crappy video

 

[LemonMelon]

Red hill blows

No, no it doesn't.

 

[xaviMF22]

No, no it doesn't.

that comes from the guy who loves HTDAAB


and it does blow

Opinion =/= fact

My opinion = fact

IGC should have been gone long ago.

My opinion = fact

IGC should have been gone long ago.

Agreed.

 

[Scorpionac]

I've been voting for it since the second round.

 

[Axver]

Now, now, people. IGC isn't the best song here, but it's marginally superior to RTSS.

 

[the tourist]

My favourite usage of In God's Country is in snippet form at the end of All Along The Watchtower Lovetown-style. I really wish U2 would've released a live Lovetown dvd/cd, nicely mastered and all....

 

[Diemen]

Red Hill has long overstayed it's welcome.

 

[bonocomet]

Red Hill, love it, but it came down to choosing between Bono's Red Hill vocals and Edge's IGC guitar... Edge wins this time.

 

[Axver]

My favourite usage of In God's Country is in snippet form at the end of All Along The Watchtower Lovetown-style. I really wish U2 would've released a live Lovetown dvd/cd, nicely mastered and all....

I think the IGC snippet worked even better as an intro to Streets on Lovetown, though both were absolutely awesome.

Also, I highly recommend the 1987-07-21, Munich performance of IGC in full. Really good version.

 

[The Sad Punk]

RTSS.

 

[phillyfan26]

Opinion =/= fact

Your Opinion = Shit

 

[Axver]

My opinion > your opinion, except where your opinion = my opinion, in which case you = cool and intelligent person.

 

[phillyfan26]

In summary, we all just dislike the guy who disagrees with us.

 

[LemonMelon]

I hate all of you so very much.

Sorry, but RHMT is a fantastic song. If the video ruined the song for you, I pity you.

 

[phillyfan26]

1. One Tree Hill
T-2. Running to Stand Stil
T-2. Red Hill Mining Town
4. In God's Country

 

[coolian2]

Red Hill Fuck Off Town

 

[2861U2]

Red Hill Mining Town for the 3rd consecutive time.

 

[Rosebud]

Isn't it funny how everyone loves all these songs until they have to vote amongst them, and suddenly songs "blow"...

IGC

IGC

Too true.

You all think RHMT is the shit. You really do.
