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 THIRTEEN (FINALISTS):
- fourth of july
- theme from the swan
- j. swallow
- boomerang one
- viva davidoff

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.

btw, is Boomerang I just an instrumental? Cos that's what I have on my comp.

Yes, Boomerang I is the instrumental, Boomerang II is the one with vocals.

And could I please take this opportunity to request that people not vote if they only know 4th Of July? This isn't "vote for what you know" but I fear 4th Of July will win this round simply because people haven't heard of the other songs and won't think to go and request them in the thread over on Music On The Internet.
 
I was the only person to vote for viva davidoff last round, and I guess I'll be the only one to vote for it again this round...
 
I know this is like too late, but I think the b-sides should've been left out because not everybody has heard them... I mean.. here I voted 4th of July because the other 4 song I've never heard them ever...

yeah, I know it's late, but still... those are my 2 cents :wave:

yep. i can't really forbid anyone to vote but honestly, throughout the whole duration of the b-sides rounds there's been a request thread in the mp3 to request any of the songs you need. i had a link to it bolded in my first post throughout that entire round telling you where to go if you needed any songs. it's still there, it's not closed or anything. i'm not really sure why then we're in this situation.
 
4th of July.

And I have heard all those songs.
4th of July has to receive my vote, it makes a perfect connection between Promenade (sweet song) and Bad (my 2nd favourite U2 song).

I agree... I love how the end of 4th of July flows into the opening notes of Bad.
 
damn If I had voted last round 4th of july would have tied with the awful race against time!
