[corianderstem]

You all declared a fatwa on The Ground Beneath Her Feet, and it went into hiding.

VOTE FOR YOUR LEAST FAVORITE SONG

Polls will remain open for 24 hours.

Songs in this round:

- The Electric Co
- Gloria
- A Sort of Homecoming
- One Tree Hill
- Heartland
- The Fly
- Zooropa
- Please

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.

These songs are the winners of all the rounds, facing off to find ONE SONG TO RULE THEM (all the non-singles) ALL.

 

[phillyfan26]

The Fly, again.

 

[FitzChivalry]

Will "Heartland" go away!!!!!

 

[Varitek]

Yay, TEC survives.

It's between Zooropa and Gloria for me but I'm waiting to vote for whatever will save Heartland.

 

[bonocomet]

TEC

 

[BigMacPhisto]

I've voted for "Please" in every round now. Do I get like a power-vote that counts as 5?

 

[corianderstem]

If you don't know, Electric Co.

 

[intedomine]

Some mint songs here, Gloria, Heartland, Zooropa all U2 at their most legendary....

Electrico has to go.....

 

[Rosebud]

This is so harrrrrrrrrd!


umm..Electric Co. I guess.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

How is The Electric Co. not gone yet?!

It's a travesty that it's still here but TGBHF is gone

 

[U2girl]

Electric co.

 

[An Cat Gav]

PLEASE go.

 

[Rob33]

Gloria is beating Heartland at this point? WTF?!?!

heartland simply OWNS Gloria

 

[LemonMelon]

heartland simply OWNS Gloria

Gloria is one of the very best singles the band released from those first few albums. Great lyrics and a powerful vocal. It's part of what makes October worthwhile.

 

[bonocomet]

I like Heartland alot, but Gloria is one amazing song.

 

[Axver]

TEC. It would be a crime if Heartland fails to reach the top three, or at least top five.

I'd be voting for TEC in a round or two if the songs were eliminated exactly in my favoured order anyway (I'd ordinarily go for Please, then toss up between TEC and Zooropa).

 

[coolian2]

How is The Electric Co. not gone yet?!

It's a travesty that it's still here but TGBHF is gone

What she said

 

[The Sad Punk]

Electric Co may be better live, but I still really love the studio version. I don't want to vote for it just yet. So I'm going for Please.

 

[Saracene]

Heartland. I always thought it was a pretty ho-hum song, and Bono's voice on "in this heaaaartlaaaand" makes me cringe.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

electric co.

 

[mysterious_jen]

how the hell can you vote off electric co before heartland???????????

 

[CTU2fan]

Zooropa. Sticks out like a sore thumb amongs the good songs still left.

 

[theFly51]

Homecomming

 

[the tourist]

Please.

 

[Sicy]

Electric Co.?? What is wrong with you people.

 

[corianderstem]

But ... but ... it's a stellar list of songs! How is the studio version of Electric Co better than those others up there?

Most of the songs remaining are in my top 10 U2 songs. Electric Co is not.

 

[phanan]

Heartland

As I've said, it's a very good song. But it doesn't beat what's left here.

Come on, Electric Co? That song is in the top five here.

 

[Sicy]

Heartland =
Please =

 

[Axver]

I'm baffled by all the Heartland votes when TEC, Gloria, Zooropa, and Please are all still here. Now, don't get me wrong, I love those four and they are probably my favourite songs from their respective albums (apart from Please, which loses to Gone). But Heartland - well, given my role in the epic Heartland Appreciation Threads, do I really need to elaborate on my stance here?

In any case, I think it's undeniably top three or at least top five.

 

[Irishteen]

Electric Co.

I find it interesting some of the differences between this one and the Survivor going on in the U2 group on last.fm
