We’ve done the Best Of. We’ve done the Worst Of. We’ve done the singles. Oh, let’s face it - we’ve done ‘em all.
What happens when we cut out the hits and other prominent tracks? As Axver said, no one was surprised to see One and Streets duking it out for the title of the Best U2 Song.
Basically, anything that was on U2:18 and the two Best Of collections is off the list. What are the favorite overlooked classics on Interference?
Let’s find out!
How to play: Each album will have a series of rounds of voting. In an album's first round, all competing songs from the album will be listed and you vote for the song you think is the WORST. The song with the most votes is eliminated. This continues through the subsequent rounds until we are left with just one song from each album.
The victorious songs proceed to the final, which will be conducted in the same manner until just one song is left, which you can consider to be the Best Non-Single or Least Objectionable Non-Single, depending upon your perspective.
Polls will remain open for 48 hours, with new polls being posted every other day.
Please vote based on the studio version of the song, not the live version. I know it’s hard – we all know live is where they live! But do your best.
Below is the master list Axver created (with assistance and corrections from the peanut gallery), and the first poll will be posted very shortly!
