the final round for b-sides, achtung baby/zooropa/pop had slow dancing (willie on vocals) getting the boot. this means viva davidoff wins for this album, and will go on to compete in the finals later.

full results:
viva davidoff: 12
slow dancing (willie on vocals): 23

the rules are pretty easy. this is for worst song U2 survivor. this means you vote OFF your FAVOURITE song. the goal here is to see what is the least-liked U2 song for each album, and narrow it down to least-liked song ever.

ROUND ONE (B-SIDES, ATYCLB/HTDAAB):
- the sweetest thing (98 version)
- the ground beneath her feet
- stateless
- the hands that built america
- summer rain
- always
- big girls are best
- electrical storm
- are you gonna wait forever
- native son
- smile
- xanax and wine
- levitate
- love you like mad
- flower child

you are to vote based on the studio version of that particular song. do not vote based on how it sounds live or how it sounded remixed.

timing of the poll: there are so many rounds, it really makes sense to keep each individual round as a timed ONE day poll. when we get to the end of each round, the final poll will last two days, to give more people a chance to vote.

ties will be broken by eliminating both songs from the poll UNLESS we are in the top five. even if there are three tied, all three will be eliminated. any more of a tie (four-way tie, etc.), then we will have a tiebreaker round.

also, when we get down to the final round (the winner of each previous round going against each other), these polls will last two days. the same tiebreaking rules apply.

remember, vote for what you consider to be the strongest song, or your favourite. this competition is to determine the WORST U2 song.

if you do not have any of these songs and want them, please go to the request thread to request the song(s). i'd like this thread to just remain for voting and discussion about voting, and not get off topic into people posting their e-mail addresses requesting songs. thanks!

The Ground Beneath Her Feet is the obvious one to go first:wink:
 
Yikes, are those bottom 6 songs internet-only songs or something like that? I don't have any of them. :eyebrow:

that happens sometimes with aol users. you may want to try using a browser other than the aol browser, and you'll be able to vote. :wink:

That's cos aol sucks! :down:

The Ground Beneath Her Feet is the best song here hands down. Can't believe Electrical Storm is winning. :tsk:

:wink:
 
This is hard. I nearly voted Smile but went with The Ground Beneath Her Feet instead.
 
Well I only have The Sweetest Thing, The Ground Beneath Her Feet, The Hands That Built America, Native Son and Smile out of all these. I'm glad to see that Mercy is not included.

The Ground Beneath Her Feet is heads and tails above the rest.
 
Can someone please tell me which are ATYCLB outtakes and which are HTDAAB outtakes?

The thread should really be called 2000-2005 b-sides because someof them aren't outtakes (THTBA, TST, etc)

then don't participate, i don't care. i'm getting sick of every round at least one person seems to find something else to complain about. people think this song should've gone here, or why did i title the thread this? you know what? i don't care. i had a sticky thread about this before i started the damn thing and if you weren't a member then i'm sorry but you'll have to deal with it. and if you just ignored the thread and are griping about it now, then i really, really don't care.

this isn't directed at you as much as i'm just sick of that for at least half of this series now everyone's found something to complain about.
