Rest of U2 Survivor: War - Round 7

[corianderstem]

Drowning Man found his watery grave with 24 votes. Two left!

VOTE FOR YOUR LEAST FAVORITE SONG

Polls will remain open for 48 hours, unless one song has taken enough of a beating after a day or so, in which case we'll call it an act of mercy and move on to the next round.

Songs in this round:

- Seconds
- Like A Song

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.

 

[Axver]

Like A Song for the win. Seconds, although good, is a considerably inferior song and has to go.

 

[coolian2]

The right last two songs came up, but this is going to be a hiding

 

[phillyfan26]

Seconds, easily.

1. Like a Song
2. Drowning Man
3. Surrender
4. Two Hearts Beat as One
5. Seconds
6. "40"
7. The Refugee
8. Red Light

 

[Axver]

I suspect we may be invoking the mercy rule again. That would be great, as we'd get to move on to UF.

 

[jonnytakeawalk]

seconds for the win- at least it has a pulse

 

[u2trinity]

Seconds

 

[bonocomet]

I like Seconds more. I voted Like A Song.

 

[the tourist]

I can't believe Seconds lasted this long, being that it's one of the worst tracks on the album.

 

[RavenBlue]

I can't believe DM didn't make it to the final

Like A Song FTW

 

[coolian2]

It's pretty close atm

 

[LemonMelon]

I honestly prefer Seconds over Like A Song, so I can't vote for it. Like A Song must go!

 

[gman]

I voted for Like A Song simply because, in studio from, its more alive than Seconds....in fact, IMHO, its one of U2s most vibrantand energetic recordings ever comminted to vinyl

Yeah, but you're meant to vote for your least favourite.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Looks like everything's in it's right place.

 

[2861U2]

I don't get it. I've voted for Like A Song every single round, and it looks like it's going to win. It's the worst song on the album, and I'm including Red Light.

 

[corianderstem]

I don't get it. I've voted for Like A Song every single round, and it looks like it's going to win.

What's not to get? You're apparently one of the few that hates Like a Song.

 

[gman]

Yeah, but you're meant to vote for your least favourite.

I meant I voted to KEEP LAS deep down inside my inner most depths, hence binning Seconds.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

I'm in the Seconds camp. It sure would be an oddball win, but then so again would Like a Song. I put Like a Song in the Drowning Man/Red Light camp -- it's half-decent, but I like Seconds' quirkiness more!

 

[Mauwer]

Seconds be....gone

Cheers ,

[phanan]

I really like Seconds. It's one of my favorites on the album.

But Like A Song is better.

[U2lunatic]

Seconds, like I've done three times already...

 

[Screwtape2]

Like A Song.

 

[the tourist]

I don't get it. I've voted for Like A Song every single round, and it looks like it's going to win. It's the worst song on the album, and I'm including Red Light.

That's my opinion exactly. Just about Seconds instead of Like A Song.

 

[Axver]

Ah, gotcha. Your post just read to me like you'd voted for LAS.

And at the moment, with Seconds receiving nearly double LAS's votes (29-16), would anyone disagree with invoking the mercy rule?

 

[Swan269]

seconds

 

[corianderstem]

Yeah, I don't think a stampede of Seconds lovers will come charging in and keep it from losing in the next 24 or so hours.

Mercy rule!

The poll hath ended.

 

[Axver]

Woohoo, LAS wins and we're onto UF!

Though I am surprised by this outcome - as has been mentioned before, LAS crept past Seconds by a single vote in the Non-Single Survivor. Clearly, opinions have shifted. Re-running some of these tournaments in five or ten years' time and comparing the results could be rather interesting ...

Well, you have to take into effect all the new users who've come onto the site and other users that have probably left since the last competition.
