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

 

[Axver]

Kite. The intro bugs me, with the fake strings and whatnot. I don't think the song really gets going until "I want you to know".

Once Kite is gone, COBL is next on my hitlist.

 

[bonocomet]

Wow this is sooo hard to do. I was completely prepared to vote YBR next, but it randomly was next up on my stereo in my car on the way home from a very stressful work weekend and it was so gorgeously relaxing to hear that I can't bring myself to vote for it now. What do I do now?

 

[Varitek]

YBR

 

[The Sad Punk]

Same as Axver, really. Though I wasn't sure if to vote COBL this round or not, I voted for it last round but I think I was the only one.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Electric Co., again.

 

[U2girl]

Blue room.

 

[bonocomet]

The Electric Co

 

[An Cat Gav]

Kite. The intro bugs me, with the fake strings and whatnot. I don't think the song really gets going until "I want you to know".

Once Kite is gone, COBL is next on my hitlist.

Agreed, oh yes I agree so much!

 

[schnumi]

dear god people are going mad, who on earth wants to vote kite out?

 

[The Sad Punk]

People with a different opinion to you?

 

[An Cat Gav]

I just think that every other song left is better than Kite.

 

[Axver]

I just think that every other song left is better than Kite.

Yeah. It's not a bad song, and one of the best on ATYCLB (not as if that's hard, though), but it pales in comparison to most here.

I'd probably have gone with COBL if Kite's studio version sounded like it did on the Vertigo Tour, though.

 

[Salome]

Electric Co
obvious!

 

[mysterious_jen]

The Electric Co

ground beneath her feet.

 

[bonocomet]

put that rolling pin away, I still adore the song these final rounds are just pure evil, that's all.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

Electric Co. It's just not the same without The Cry.

 

[phillyfan26]

Your Blue Room, again.

COBL next round thanks to its shitty studio version.

 

[Zoots]

Electric Co.???????? Seriously??

Three Sunrises can fuck off right now.

 

[martha]

Kite

 

[Varitek]

The Electric Co. is in 2nd place?

I guess I always under-estimate Interference's 90s love.

 

[bonoishot]

Electric Co.???????? Seriously??

Three Sunrises can fuck off right now.

 

[1stepcloser]

Three sunrises.

 

[Irishteen]

Three sunrises, getting rid of Your Blue Room this early is just not allowed, it's better than half of the other songs here.

 

[Salome]

The Electric Co. is in 2nd place?

I guess I always under-estimate Interference's 90s love.

in my opinion "essential U2" will always be "80s U2"
but Electric Co isn't one of the reasons why

I also can't comprehend how it was voted the best song of Boy but that's just me

 

[phanan]

I'll go with The Three Sunrises.

Kite is one of, if not the best, of U2's output from this decade. Your Blue Room is gorgeous, and Electric Co. is awesome. None of those three deserve to go yet. I'd get rid of a couple more B-sides before I go that route.

 

[Rob33]

I'm torn between Blue Room and Lady With the Spinning Head- seriously....LWTSH over Kite? COBL? no....

 

[theFly51]

Spanish Eyes

 

[FitzChivalry]

Kite.

again.

 

[Mauwer]

The Three Sunrises.....really???? , that song is just
I voted COBL

Cheers ,

Mauwer
