Rest of U2 Survivor: THE SHOWDOWN - Round 1

[Zoots]

All I can say for sure is One Tree Hill bloody well better win, with Heartland second.

That will only happen if you severely rig these polls till the very end!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I've no idea how the hell I'd come up with a ranking for this that I'd not want to change for any longer than half a second.

Haha yeah, I just quickly wrote down what I thought would be close to my rankings for these.....and then switched a lot of them around as I was typing it out.

It was still fun, though!

 

[Screwtape2]

Smile. Terrible song.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Smile. Terrible song.

B-Sides cannot withstand singles with that kind of firepower!

 

[BigMacPhisto]

I'm the first vote for "Please"...it's a weak, un-hummable tune with cringe-worthy lyrics.

1. Heartland
2. One Tree Hill
3. Spanish Eyes

(more like speechless)

Please has what I consider some of the (if not THE) best lyrics that Bono ever wrote!

September... October... November... December... Remember...

And it began the infatuation Bono has with knees.

Bono's been singing about knees and kneeling since Mysterious Ways (maybe even before), bro!

1. Bono has been singing about knees long before Pop.

2. The last half of Please contains some of U2's best lyrics ever.

 

[Varitek]

I didn't realize we were here! I will actually be around for the whole thing if we stick to 24 hour polls

As for voting, not that my opinion matters in this runaway poll, I think 11ott. The studio version is great, but so is Smile, and everything else on here is greater.

but I am in no way certain about this or my ranking of this list.

yeah, if they'd ever make an album filled with half songs they should re-record it

Maybe some day towards the end of their career they can put out a full length compilation called "Best Of U2: The Kneel/Knees Songs."

 

[Salome]

I'd buy it

 

[theFly51]

I vote Smile

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Please = the most beautiful 5 minutes in the history of recorded popular music.
