Finals: U2 Singles Survivor - Top Six

is now open. Please vote by clicking in the circle next to the single you like the LEAST on the electronic poll above. Thank you.

Please be aware that you are voting on the WHOLE single release, not the individual a-side. In the same way that album survivor involved whole albums with their full complement of tracks competing against each other, singles survivor will involve whole singles with their full complement of tracks competing against each other.

This is a TWO day timed electronic poll.

Instructions:

Voting

Each round please vote off the single you like the least. The single with the most amount of votes is the the least popular for this round. Voting is anonymous. It's not compulsory to state your preference in the thread.

Next round all the singles are listed again, minus the single that receives the most amount of votes this round. And again please vote for your least favourite single from the selection.

And on we go for many rounds until there's only two singles left. In the last round you vote for your favourite out of the two. The last single standing is the most popular (or the least unpopular depending on how you look at it).

Tie Breaker

In the event of a tie, both or all tied singles will be instantly eliminated from the competition.

Have fun!

Stay (Faraway, So Close!)/I've Got You Under My Skin/Slow Dancing (without Willie Nelson)/Lemon (Bad Yard Club Edit)/Lemon (The Perfecto Mix)/Bullet The Blue Sky (live)/Love Is Blindness (live)

 

[ylimeU2]

Really, really tough choice, but out of those, Stay has got to go.

 

[anitram]

Stay.

 

[z00ropean]

Stay has to stay! my fellow U2 advocates, just think of it this way... The single Stay has b-sides, remixes, and live performances. Now, do the other five singles have those aside from b-sides? Obviously not. And speaking of b-sides, Slow Dancing and Under My Skin are as great b-sides as those from the other remaining singles. Stay has to stay!

 

[Axver]

The single Stay has b-sides, remixes, and live performances. Now, do the other five singles have those aside from b-sides? Obviously not.

Thankfully not too. Remixes can burn in hell and I'd rather a good b-side than a good live track.

Slow Dancing really needs the full band treatment, I think. But at least the Stay single version's not sung by Willie Nelson.

 

[z00ropean]

Remixes can burn in hell and I'd rather a good b-side than a good live track.

NOT all remixes suck! I have friends who aren't big fans of U2 but they love the perfecto remixes especially lemon. Stay has a wonderful remix track in Lemon and two great live tracks in addition to two good b-sides. So, what is there to vote off Stay? Come to your senses my fellow U2 fans. It is, in my opinion, a "complete single." It is like pizza with everything on it. You have to love it. Please keep Stay!

 

[babyman]

stay can't go out, come on, it can't go out! it deserves at least the 3rd place!

 

[babyman]

still havent

 

[stagman]

One - it should've gone a while ago..... comon, It can't beat Stay with what is on the rest of the tracklisting...
COME ON PEOPLE...THINK ABOUT IT

 

[stagman]

Lady With the Spinning Head is on the EBTTRT single anyhow... so it's not as if that should hold you back from voting off One.

 

[Axver]

NOT all remixes suck! I have friends who aren't big fans of U2 but they love the perfecto remixes especially lemon. Stay has a wonderful remix track in Lemon and two great live tracks in addition to two good b-sides. So, what is there to vote off Stay? Come to your senses my fellow U2 fans. It is, in my opinion, a "complete single." It is like pizza with everything on it. You have to love it. Please keep Stay!

I can count on one hand the number of remixes I like:

- Wire (Dub Mix)
- Lady With The Spinning Head (Extended Dance Remix)*
- Dirty Day (Bitter Kiss)*
- Dirty Day (Junk Day)
- I'm Not Your Baby (Skysplitter Dub)*
*I consider these better than the originals

The Lemon remixes ... are best left out of the competition. I'd rather a complete single collection in the sense of a cohesive set of original material, a mini-album. And for that reason, the 'big three' from the Joshua Tree have my support.

Also, I hate those pizzas with everything. They have too many things I don't like.

 

[MsMofoGone]

Very hard decision ........ What shall I pick ??? ... Still thinking ...
Which one, Which one will it be ??? ... Okay, here's my logic ...
I mean yeah, "Stay" probably should've been the one to go ...
but I absolutely love "Lemon (The Perfecto Mix) ... so, I held on
to "Stay" for now. But looking at the rest of that list ... made
it somewhat easier .. "All I Want Is You" (single edit / LP version),
"Unchained Melody" and "Everlasting Love" ... Oh really !!
PLEASE ... what's those still there for ?? "AIWIY" is clearly the
one that has the go next ... GOODBYE ... gone and outta here !!

 

[D'oh!]

All i want is you is easily the weakest single left here. It gets my vote....

 

[God Part III]

Still Haven't gone off the list have you?

 

[annatheduck]

One - it should've gone a while ago..... comon, It can't beat Stay with what is on the rest of the tracklisting...
COME ON PEOPLE...THINK ABOUT IT

I completely agree!

 

[glenn]

D'oh I voted for All I want is you, I forgot Stay was still around.

 

[the tourist]

STAY.

 

[Pero]

How did you rule out Fly??

 

[Aardvark747]

Oh well.....looks like my fave is outta here!

 

[Axver]

Oh well.....looks like my fave is outta here!

I see you've learnt how to take defeat gracefully from me.

 

[Aardvark747]

I see you've learnt how to take defeat gracefully from me.

Not quite...I still have to resort, to this..............

 

[Axver]

C'mon, let it all out!

 

[Aardvark747]

C'mon, let it all out!

Bawls his 'mother-suckin' eyes out!!!

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

- Lady With The Spinning Head (Extended Dance Remix)*
