Finals: U2 Singles Survivor - Top Nine

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!

 

[Axver]

Stay, this time. Shouldn't have made it this far.

 

[timothius]

Even Better Than The Real Thing....

Child.

 

[miss becky]

Now it's getting hard. I can't bring myself to vote for New Year's Day yet. I really like Treasure. So Stay gets my vote.

 

[2861U2]

The Fly

again....

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

the fly.

 

[BigMacPhisto]

Voted for "New Year's Day" for the fourth or fifth consecutive round.........here's hoping it finally leaves.

 

[z00ropean]

new year's day!

i see Stay has 6 votes now. people trying to vote it off, are you f**kin' kidding me? it's the best single out there.

 

[D'oh!]

New Years Day.

 

[Axver]

new year's day!

i see Stay has 6 votes now. people trying to vote it off, are you f**kin' kidding me? it's the best single out there.

Are you kidding? Stay's the weakest single left. Slow Dancing would benefit from the full band, the Lemon remixes ... well, they're remixes, enough said, and I'd rather real b-sides over live tracks. And when it comes down to NYD versus Stay in b-side terms, Treasure is better than Slow Dancing and I've Got You Under My Skin combined.

 

[the tourist]

Stay.

 

[beli]

Even Better Than The Real Thing/Salome/Where Did It All Go Wrong?/Lady With The Spinning Head (Extended Dance Remix)/Numerous EBTTRT remixes

 

[theedge111]

EBTTRT - again

 

[Axver]

My, this is a close round so far!

 

[bathiu]

Can I start celebrating now, that all singles from POP are higher than those from ATYCLB

 

[Ellay]

Now it's getting hard. I can't bring myself to vote for New Year's Day yet. I really like Treasure. So Stay gets my vote.

So do I , but I can't bring myself to vote for stay, so Im going for I still haven't found.

it's B sides just don't make it an overall good single for me

 

[Stefan]

For the first time voting has become difficult.

Voted for Even better than the real thing.

 

[timothius]

When Even Better Than The Real Thing & Stay depart at the end of this round & next, things will become very, very fragmented...

Its gonna be aweeeeesome.

 

[the tourist]

Where will all the votes go once New Year's Day, Even Better Than The Real Thing, and Stay are gone?

 

[Popmartijn]

What to vote for?

I don't want Stay and EBTTRT to go as they are both excellent singles. It doesn't matter whether something can be labelled as an outtake, demo, remix or live track, but what the quality is of that track. And I think those two singles have many excellent tracks on them.

I want to vote off ISHFWILF. Yes, Spanish Eyes is good, but Deep In The Heart goes nowhere. And I never really cared for the A-side. But I think I'll hold off voting for a moment, to see if I need to protect one of my favourites.

 

[Axver]

Where will all the votes go once New Year's Day, Even Better Than The Real Thing, and Stay are gone?

Looks like it'll be The Fly and AIWIY.

Should Stay go in this round, I'm not sure whether I'll go after AIWIY or One next.

 

[Aardvark747]

Even Better.....Stay CANNOT go yet!!!

 

[Axver]

Even Better.....Stay CANNOT go yet!!!

Of course Stay can go now. What's it got going for it, besides the a-side? EBTTRT's got the absolutely awesome Where Did It All Go Wrong? along with LWTSH and Salome.

 

[Aardvark747]

Of course Stay can go now. What's it got going for it, besides the a-side? EBTTRT's got the absolutely awesome Where Did It All Go Wrong? along with LWTSH and Salome.

Im taking the other Even Better single release into account really! With all the god-awful remixes.
And speaking of god-awful remixes, isnt the LWTSH track on there that bloody remix too?
- hate it!

Stay has to be my fave. single. The a-side of course, then the live versions of Love is Blindness and Bullet are great.
Slow Dancing is gorgeous - and I adore the Bono/Sinatra duet...

(I totally know it wont win tho!)

 

[liamcool]

Stay. Then EBTTRT, then One. I wanna make this an all-80's final.

 

[2861U2]

whoa whoa whoa whats this talk of getting rid of One? Thats the best single left and the one I want to win.

 

[God Part III]

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. Should have gone off ages ago!

 

[babyman]

new years day

 

[the tourist]

I think either With Or Without You or Where The Streets Have No Name will win.

 

[miss becky]

I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. Should have gone off ages ago!

Say it ain't so! This is the best U2 single there is. Period.
