I think alot of people lied on question C8.

 

[Lancemc]

Very interesting results. My favorite is that the majority of fans don't consider Passengers a U2 album.

 

[Axver]

Treasure came LAST for favourite non-album song?!

Dear U2 fans,

WTF? You fail at taste. You fail at life.

Sincerely,
Axver

 

[coolian2]

Yay. Its finally scientifically proven that Stay is the best song on Zooropa.

It's a Brian Eno album with U2 noodling around in the background.

 

[LemonMelon]

What's with all the 1980-1983 coldness?

 

[Canadiens1131]

Walk On won for fav on ATYCLB? Eww...how generic

The fact that the album version of Streets beat out the live ones is retarded.

Anton got his props.

 

[LemonMelon]

Apparently Larry is also more important than Adam.

 

[mads]

G10 is bothersome. About 40% would most want to get pulled on stage, whereas only 30% would choose to pick the setlist.

 

[Chizip]

90's U2 wins again

00's U2 comes in last

If only U2 would realize this

 

[SpaceOddity]

Very interesting stuff... I always love seeing the results of this survey.

 

[Peterrrrr]

90's

 

[U2girl]

E4 and E2 answers H2 is interesting too.

 

[schnumi]

Funny as well that POP doesnt get many votes but yet most people still feel that it's the most underrated U2 album...

Well give it a vote then!!

 

[Popmartijn]

The fact that the album version of Streets beat out the live ones is retarded.

It depends on how you look at it. More than 83% of the people prefer Streets live to the studio version. I don't think that's retarded. The thing is, with 7 live versions to choose from, the live vote is scattered a lot.
BTW, the Slane live version got as many votes as the studio version, only strangely it isn't highlighted.

There's a difference between thinking an album is underrated and it being your favourite. Pop isn't my favourite album, but I do think it's often unfairly maligned. To me, with the exception of The Unforgettable Fire it beats every album U2 has released in the 80s. So yes, I'd call the album underrated. But not my favourite.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

The fact that the album version of Streets beat out the live ones is retarded.

Unreal.

 

[Jeffo17]

yeah i was surprised Walk On was the most faveroute on ATYCLB too.

I noticed that too...

and what schnumi perhaps meant is that pop gets a lot of votes for least favourite album, and a lot of most underrated one... that is kinda paradoxal

Yay for Anton!

90's U2 wins again

00's U2 comes in last

so true!!!

 

[vaz02]

finally edge wins the battle of the muscians in a land slide victory.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

The Hell???

Very predictable in most cases, I don't like the "Who is your favorite member" questions, it's like choosing your favorite child...

I like how Adam is not only the least popular and the least talented but also the easiest to replace...

He's totally Ringo....

Yep that's what i meant, i didnt say it clear enough i guess.

It must be all those duff notes he's played during shows down the years!

 

[Canadiens1131]

That's fucking hilarious elevated

 

[DontExpect]

strange that Acrobat is the....7th most popular song on Achtung Baby!!

Interference talk about Acrobat as the BEST SONG EVER >>>>>>> any talk about Whose Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses.

I wouldn't have put either as my favorite song actually, just was a bit startled by that.

 

[vaz02]

No way trying to throw ya arms around the world got slated and One got the praise.

 

[Chizip]

It doesn't mean it's the 7th most popular song, it means it was 7th in people who voted it their favorite. For all we know everyone who voted for another song as their favorite could have Acrobat as their second favorite.
