Finals: U2 Singles Survivor - Round Ten

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!

Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own.

 

[beli]

Jezus, it actually went?

I'll have to think what to vote for now.

 

[beli]

Beautiful Day/Summer Rain/Always/Discotheque (live)/If You Wear That Velvet Dress (live)/Last Night On Earth (live)

 

[Popmartijn]

I still don't have my wish...

So it is Sometimes... again.

 

[Aardvark747]

AT LAST! Vertigo goes!

Now I have to start selecting again! Hmmmm....

Cos of the b-sides, Electrical Storm

 

[Axver]

Dear voters,

It would be really nice if we could have another draw and kick off SYCMIOYO and Electrical Storm. How about a three-way tie and kick off Stay too?

Sincerely,
Axver

lol! Listen Ax - you wouldnt be trying to influence the outcome of this little game would you?

Hee! I've actually held back on my campaigning for some stuff as I wouldn't want to be seen to be abusing my position as maintainer of the competition.

Do people actually read the thread before voting? I never do. lol.

Nah, that comes afterwards for me!

 

[Axver]

Do people actually read the thread before voting? I never do. lol.

I did in prior competitions, or I would at least look at votes already cast so that I could make sure nothing I like was being kicked out.

At this stage, I'm holding onto my vote because I'm afraid of something I really like being kicked.

 

[Aardvark747]

Btw - Axver, on the If god will send....single description there, it's got a Mofo remix included. I dont have that!
Mine only has Slow Dancing/2 Shots and SBS (live)! Was it ltd or sth do u know? Or vinyl only?

 

[Popmartijn]

Mofo (Romin Remix) was on the 2-track CD single.

 

[Aardvark747]

Mofo (Romin Remix) was on the 2-track CD single.

Oh right, Cheers Pop! Was there a different cover for that single do u know? Sorry for being a pain!

 

[Pero]

Axver, you owe me one now, i voted for Electrical storm

 

[Popmartijn]

Oh right, Cheers Pop! Was there a different cover for that single do u know? Sorry for being a pain!

No, it was the same 'flying hearts' cover. It was a carton slipcase though.



And Pero, you should've voted for SYCMIOYO.

 

[Aardvark747]

No, it was the same 'flying hearts' cover. It was a carton slipcase though.

Hmm..well for the sake of being a 'completist', I wonder if it's still available....

 

[miss becky]

Out of Control. Boy/Girl is a nice rarety, but let's face it -- it's hardly a good song. Certainly not worthy to belong among the other B-sides still out there.

 

[Axver]

Axver, you owe me one now, i voted for Electrical storm

What do you want? Me to say The Fly is incredible? Well, when I last ranked U2's songs, it came 17th. And 17 is my favourite number. Happy now?

 

[Axver]

Out of Control. Boy/Girl is a nice rarety, but let's face it -- it's hardly a good song. Certainly not worthy to belong among the other B-sides still out there.

Heh, while the song can be fun and I have a cute bootleg where Bono brings a little girl onstage during the song, it's definitely one of the worst songs U2 has ever made.

I won't be sad to see that single go.

 

[Pero]

You're crazy!!Thanks for remembiring that The Fly is my favourite

 

[Axver]

The Fly is feckin' awesome! Of course I'll remember another Fly fan if they're remembering I'm a Heartland nut.

Acrobat is my favourite song on AB, then The Fly.

 

[boystupidboy]

I'm a man of principle so i'm sticking with Pride.Well not really 'sticking'with it cos i want it out...if you know what i mean

 

[annatheduck]

Finally! Vertigo is gone!

Ok, my vote goes to Desire. I quite like Hallelujah, but one good b-side isn't enough in this case...

 

[anitram]

Sometimes.

Bloody again! It's been like an endless voting cycle for me.

 

[the tourist]

Dear voters,

It would be really nice if we could have another draw and kick off SYCMIOYO and Electrical Storm. How about a three-way tie and kick off Stay too?

Sincerely,
Axver

Why ever would you want to rid us of Stay???

 

[God Part III]

Electrical Storm rocks Ax... Certainly, if people'd be willing we could toss Still Haven't Found off, a single which should have gone weeks ago.

Are you kidding me? Spanish Eyes is U2's best b-side.
