HTDAAB has to go now!

XHendrix24 said:Achtung Baby has a few GREAT songs on it (One, The Fly, Until The End of the World, Acrobat, etc.), but it sadly has a number of average songs, too (So Cruel, Trying To Throw Your Arms..., Even Better Than The Real Thing, Who's Gonna Ride.., etc.). And since I believe that HTDAAB has a better flow overall, I'm going to have to say goodbye to AB.
I'll miss you, baby.

When I posted this thread it was night time USA ie all the Mods were tucked up in their beds. I was actually going to mention this to you today. When you run the singles Survivor please plan what time you post the first thread. lol.

We need an Australian mod, don't we?
i've only voted for two. i cannot believe people would put a two-month old album up there with albums that've been out 10+ years. albums that've stood the test of time. i just don't think bomb has been out long enough for anyone to fairly say it deserves a spot in the top three.beli said:Really? Ive only voted for the same three albums this whole game so I haven't had to vote for my favs.
Axver said:Good thoughts on the upcoming competition, everyone. B-sides will factor into the voting for sure - that's the whole point. WOWY versus ISHFWILF should be seen in just the same way as JT versus AB - one collection of tracks against another.
These are my nominees for deletion:
- Both live I Will Follow releases. Most people won't have them.
- Numb, because it was a video single. I have this single myself and I think due to its different format, it cannot reasonably compete with CD singles.
I will retain 40 as we all have the War album. We can hear the thing (and its b-side, Two Hearts Beat As One) for ourselves.
The Please single and Popheart EP will be counted as the same release, as will the Unforgettable Fire single and the Wide Awake In America EP.
We'll have the first heat involving 23 singles from the eighties, and then the second heat involving 25 singles from the nineties and 2000s. When 15 are left in each heat, the heat is over. These 30 will then be combined for the final round.

All good except that you shouldn't combine singles. The Please single and the Popheart EP are separate entities. Please is a studio single, Popheart EP is a collection of four live tracks. Count them separately.
WAIA shouldn't be counted at all. It's great, but it's not a single.
And Keep 'Numb'. Zooropa needs to be represented.

What shall we do with Stuck and Walk On? They were both released as singles twice, once in Canada and once in Europe/Australia at a different time. The Canadian release of Stuck doesn't share b-sides with the other release of Stuck, and its b-sides don't perfectly correlate with those of the simultaneous European/Australian Walk On release either. Shall the two releases be combined, or shall the simultaneous releases be combined, or will we have all four?

Zooropa is represented by Stay and Lemon. I remain hesitant in adding this one, as the 'b-side' is pretty much made worthwhile by the video. Considering the different format, I'm inclined to exclude it, but if those here think it should stay, I'll keep it.
