Rest of U2 Survivor: "UNRELEASED" RELEASES 04-07 - Round 10

[corianderstem]

Flower Child is out, with 23 votes.

VOTE FOR YOUR LEAST FAVORITE SONG

Polls will remain open for 24 hours for the non-album track rounds.

Songs in this round:

- Smile
- Native Son

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.

This last round is a bit of a mish-mash. Unreleased tracks from HTDAAB and the previously unreleased JT era tracks. While they did obviously get an official release in 2007, we put them here anyway.

Smile, by a slim margin, is better. Voting Native Son.

 

[bono_212]

I...can't decide. It was an easy decision at first, but now I'm really starting to love Native Son

 

[phanan]

Smile should win.

 

[corianderstem]

I'm torn on this one.

 

[LemonMelon]

Native Son does not deserve to win this round.

 

[bonocomet]

Native Son does not deserve to win this round.

 

[U2girl]

Native Son does not deserve to win this round.

 

[luna_lovegood]

wtf is Native Son doing in the final round?

 

[An Cat Gav]

i've listened to smile repeatedly this morning and can't see why it's so popular. Native Son is good but doesn't deserve to win, still it's a hell of a lot better than Smile.

 

[Varitek]

native son, easy.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Native Son, barely.

A lot of times when I vote on these Survivors I'm swayed by the first time I ever heard the particular song.

I remember the first time I heard Native Son I could not believe how badass it was that this band had crafted two great songs using the same little set of power chords.

It's hard to craft ONE great song using a set of power chords, let alone two of 'em.

So I will always love Native Son.

But Smile has overtaken it, and I think it deserves to win this round.

 

[coolian2]

I think i prefer Native Son.

 

[PookaMacP]

I voted for Flower Child in every round to now and would have voted for Smile if it wasn't there, so Smile gets my vote.

 

[Axver]

Native Son. It's a great song, considerably superior to Vertigo in lyrics, but Smile is the best song U2 have recorded this decade apart from TGBHF, so this wasn't too hard a choice really.

 

[phillyfan26]

I don't know how anyone could say Vertigo is better than Native Son. It's the same track, but with better lyrics and a verse by The Edge.

 

[Mr. V]

Vertigo > Native Son

yeah, i said it.

and .'. Smile > Native Son

 

[bonocomet]

I was a little worried to wake up and check the direction this had taken overnight because, well sometimes the sanity of voters is questionable but things look ok so far.

 

[Mauwer]

Oh....so....easy , voted Native Son.
Smile is just

Cheers ,

[the tourist]
