Finals: U2 Singles Survivor - Round 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!

Stuck In A Moment, damn it.

 

[Axver]

I'm holding onto my vote for now. It seems 11 O'clock Tick Tock might need some protecting. Sure, the studio recording isn't great, but it's definitely not the worst single left.

 

[the tourist]

Stuck In A Moment.

 

[Stefan]

Desire!

 

[stagman]

Stuck it is then. As if you could get it with All I Want is You and Even Better...where the hell was that version sold??? on some backstreet in Singapore??

 

[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

 

[Popmartijn]

I think Stuck... is a great single with very good live B-sides of Beautiful Day, New York, EBTTRT and All I Want Is You (that was a beautiful French limited edition BTW ) And Big Girls Are Best is a fun outtake too.

Sometimes You Release A Bad Single on the other hand...

 

[BigMacPhisto]

I Will Follow/Boy-Girl (live)/Out Of Control (live)

^ I can't believe that has escaped under the radar...

 

[Aardvark747]

Vertigo

 

[boystupidboy]

Pride,i've got quite bored of this song now

 

[Axver]

I Will Follow/Boy-Girl (live)/Out Of Control (live)

^ I can't believe that has escaped under the radar...

Damn, you're right. Why is it still hanging around?

I'd vote for it, but I fear I need to hold onto my vote for now to protect 11 O'clock Tick Tock.

 

[Popmartijn]

I Will Follow/Boy-Girl (live)/Out Of Control (live)

^ I can't believe that has escaped under the radar...

I Will Follow is U2's best song ever and it's complemented with 2 solid live tracks. Why can't it stay then?
There are far worse singles still on the list (like Sometimes... )

Real b-sides are better than some live cuts, especially of the rather unspectacular (I call it 'shallow but enjoyable') Boy/Girl.

 

[miss becky]

*whoops with joy* Wild Horses is gone!

Wow. So I just sat here and stared at the list for ages...I didn't know what to vote for anymore! In the end I went with Walk On.

 

[Pero]

But i still didn't get my single thrown out

 

[Ellay]

I'm shocked that two of the Achtung Baby singles have already been booted off. It's a crazy world.

 

[vivaSA]

Wild horses is one of their lyrical masterpieces, it sure doesn't deserve this.

 

[TheRooster]

I find it disconcerting that those who are voting for 11 O'Clock have not spoken up at all.

 

[namkcuR]

Hey Axver, kill two birds with one stone - Protect 11 O'Clock Tick Tock(a VERY worthy cause) and vote for Stuck In A Moment in one bold stroke!

I take this shit too seriously.

 

[1stepcloser]

Stuck in a moment.

c'mon ppl we need to save 11 o clock tick tock!

 

[miss becky]

Wild horses is one of their lyrical masterpieces, it sure doesn't deserve this.

Wild Horses didn't. Fortunate Son, however, did.

 

[annatheduck]

*sigh* Vertigo. And looks like I'll have to vote for it in the next round too...

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

okay, who are the cowards voting for 11 o'clock tick tock and why aren't they speaking up to say why they voted for it? that's one of my favourite songs - definitely my favourite early song.

 

[namkcuR]

Yes, Stuck is catching up!

VOTE STUCK!

 

[Axver]

Hey Axver, kill two birds with one stone - Protect 11 O'Clock Tick Tock(a VERY worthy cause) and vote for Stuck In A Moment in one bold stroke!

I take this shit too seriously.

I just voted for Stuck In A miserable fucking Moment of a b-side after seeing the insane votes for 11 O'clock Tick Tock.

 

[timothius]

Enough is enough!

Stuck vs 11 O'Clock tick tock... neither deserve to crack top 10 but seriously.... Stuck shouldve gone sooo early its not funny...

Ciao Stuck In A Moment... Rest In Peace.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

if the 11 o'clock voters don't post why they're voting for it, i'm going to call you all out

 

[theedge111]

Stuck, to protect 11 o'clock!

 

[bono_man2002]

I voted stuck in a moment.
Even though I want the French single (I think) which has the live performance of Even Better...from Manray.
