Rest of U2 Survivor: War - Round 2

[the tourist]

Me too.


I'm gonna go steal a 'Save the Whales' sign and mutilate it until it reads 'Save the Refugee' and then I'll be back to wave it angrily.

Good idea. Poor Refugee.

 

[bonocomet]

I had to vote for something... which meant that I voted for something that didn't deserve to be voted for in my opinion anyways... it was a lose lose situation

These polls cause such anguish. Oh what fun!

 

[the tourist]

Yeah. So much anguish.

 

[Aardvark747]

Drowning Man

 

[Zoots]

But if you're the other person who voted THBAO, then you win at good taste.

 

[Axver]

Ah, so you're not as insane as you appeared to be in the last thread!

And WTF, how has Drowning Man suddenly surged to 7 votes? I thought it was likely to be War's victor.

 

[cruzila]

Surrender

 

[phillyfan26]

I probably like Refugee better than the studio "40" but Surrender exiting this early is an atrocity, so I need to save it.

 

[BigMacPhisto]

Could turn into a three-way horse race like this season's Survivor finale!

 

[dr. zooeuss]

Surrender, has always seemed kind of labored to me when compared to the other six.

 

[liamcool]

Who the hell voted for Like A Song?

Oh, and Ze Refugee.

 

[redhotswami]

I voted Surrender...it isn't that it is a horrible song, but it just never grabbed me as some of the other songs on this album did.

 

[phanan]

I'm surprised at Surrender's strong early polling. I thought it was a bit of a fan favourite. I certainly think it's one of War's top songs.

Can't go with you on that one. The backing vocals, while not as bad as Red Light, still kill Surrender for me.

Now if it was a live version like the one at Red Rocks, I'd consider it a much stronger contender.

 

[Mauwer]

Voted for Two Hearts , coz Refugee is just a little better.
But I both don`t like them , but Two Hearts it is.

Cheers ,

Mauwer

Surrender kicks ass , love it.
The studio version is
The live version is

[LemonMelon]

Surrender? Really, folks? Come on.

 

[Lila64]

Refugee

How can anyone vote for Two Hearts?

It's been my favorite U2 song for what? 24 years?

I concur. I bet some of the voters weren't even born yet when WAR came out.

for martha


Drowning Man

 

[U2lunatic]

The Refugee, without hesistation.... I always skip this song when listening to this album

 

[fandangamoq]

I voted for '40' because it bores me and I have a soft spot for The Refugee, which i just assume will go this round. Looks like I was right.

BTW Drowning Man is my favourite song on the whole album, I would hate to see it go next round

~A.j.~

 

[the tourist]

Poor poor Refugee. Ah well. The album's great and something has to go.

 

[Axver]

Phew, I'm glad Drowning Man is safe. At this rate though, I'll have to vote Surrender next round to save it.

 

[the tourist]

There'll probably be an onslaught on something all the Refugee voters dislike in common. I'm hoping seconds, but it'll probably be 40 or Two Hearts.

 

[Axver]

Yeah, I'm betting that 40's about to get a flogging. I'd like to think it'd be THBAO though. That really needs to go. It just lacks the substance and depth of everything else here. It's a bit fun, but it's really just fluff.

Kind of like most of Pop? (I'm gonna get flamed for that, huh?)


To clarify, for the ones who may think that's a jab at Pop: fun bits that are really just fluff (like most of the Pop album and songs such as Two Hearts Beat As One) are some of my favourites!

 

[phillyfan26]

Why is it that the two best songs of these eight (Drowning Man and Surrender) are going to be fighting to eliminate each other in the third round?

"40" needs to be the next one out. It's not the live version.

 

[the tourist]

The only reason 40 even made it to the second round is because most people just think about the live version (which is infinitely better).

 

[cobl04]

11 votes for Drowning Man?? Come on people it's the best song there! Boo

 

[An Cat Gav]

Refugee???? Oh no, I love that song!
THBAO does not deserve to stay much longer!

 

[djerdap]

The Refugee is awful.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

How can anyone vote for Two Hearts?

That's how I feel, too.

Surrender for me this time. Again, the backing vocals are just awful.

When I was first getting in to U2 and watched Rattle and Hum, I fell in love with that performance of Bad. I didn't know the name of the song, though, so I bought War thinking Surrender was Bad. Boy was I mad when I found out it wasn't!
