Finals: U2 Singles Survivor - Round Seven

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!

I'm holding onto my vote for now, just to protect 11 O'clock Tick Tock.

Is it possible for a mod to change the close time of this poll to be an hour earlier? Otherwise, I'll just start the next round 60-90 minutes earlier as long as there's a clear result. Hard to believe I used to start this thing at 9am ...

 

[neutral]

Hmm, I tried, and it will only allow me to edit the closing time to be shorter by days, not hours. Sorry.

 

[beli]

Walk On (various edits)/Stuck In A Moment (acoustic)/Elevation (Vandit Club Mix)/Stay (live)/Where The Streets Have No Name (live)/Gone (live)

again, again, again

 

[Axver]

Thanks for trying anyway. I'll just have to start the next poll a little earlier, otherwise this is going to start too late for me. I wish I hadn't had that day where I accidentally started it three hours late ...

Sometimes A Single Has To Leave...

Again and again and again.

Vertigo

I can't comprehend it. Where have these voters come from? That is absolutely one of the best singles ever released, along with the big three from the Joshua Tree. Just look at the glorious b-sides - THE THREE SUNRISES! LOVE COMES TUMBLING! BASS TRAP! A SORT OF LIVE HOMECOMING! SIXTY SECONDS IN KINGDOM COME!

What more do I need to say?

If you are voting for UF, I'm sorry, but you suck. Look at all the other singles that are there, some with just remixes for b-sides, and then look at the incredible originality and beauty of UF. How anyone could vote for it at this stage of the competition is beyond me.

 

[Popmartijn]

Well, people have already voted off Please, I Will Follow, Angel Of Harlem and Stuck... So that should give you an indication about their stupidity.

I was very sad to see Please go, as that is such a good single. I Will Follow is still there, though! And Angel Of Harlem and Stuck didn't help themselves by having b-sides that aren't all too spectacular ...

 

[Popmartijn]

Sorry, I meant Gloria (which had a live version of I Will Follow as B-side).

Still...

 

[miss becky]

I Will Follow

 

[Axver]

Sorry, I meant Gloria (which had a live version of I Will Follow as B-side).

Still...

Ahh! Heh, I think I actually voted for that one ... it needed more in the way of b-side material!

Good call Digsy

 

[annatheduck]

ver-ti-go...

 

[boystupidboy]

a wasted vote but i'm voting for 'pride' again

 

[Axver]

Bleh, now that the voting for UF has stopped, there has been a flood of 11OTT votes?

... lovely.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

this is pissing me off, all these people voting for stuff and not posting WHY, ever.

will the people voting for 11 o'clock tick tock please speak up and at least say why you think it's the worst single out of everything listed there?

Yeah, annoys me too. I'd really love to know why some songs have ended up with votes, and where this tide of 11OTT votes has magically come from.

Want to call them out?

 

[the tourist]

I Will Follow.

 

[the tourist]

Because it only has live b-sides.

 

[1stepcloser]

Staring at the Sun

thank god the voting for UF appears to have stopped, it's one of their best songs EVER.

sadly it looks like 11OTT is gonna be out of here.....

 

[Axver]

It doesn't help that those of us who want to save it haven't presented a unified front.

 

[anitram]

Voting for 11 o'clock now because it's clear that it's been hanging on for dear life for several rounds now. Time to put it out of its misery - it's getting old trying to save it when the end is inevitable. It's boring me already.

Have it gone, we can return back to the competition finally.

 

[timothius]

I've never really been on the 11 Oclock Tick Tock bandwagon... neither with Vertigo...

when it comes to B-Sides... Vertigo rates about an D.... 11 Oclock tick tock about an E...

So Long 11 O'Clock Tick Tock... may you move on to a better place.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Want to call them out?

i tried to look, it appears i can't view who voted for what. one of the super mods may be able to help...

all i can do is edit the poll it seems. as tempting as it may be, no i didn't mess with the results.
