the final round for boy had into the heart getting the boot. this means the ocean wins for this album, and will go on to compete in the finals later.

full results:
into the heart: 44
the ocean: 19

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 (OCTOBER):
- gloria
- i fall down
- i threw a brick through a window
- rejoice
- fire
- tomorrow
- october
- with a shout
- stranger in a strange land
- scarlet
- is that all?

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.

I was either on FYM or off reading when you made this thread.

I voted for Gloria. I'm glad I thought about this one beforehand, or I might've spent too long tossing between Gloria and Tomorrow.

Bloody hell, this whole album is sensational. Gloria, I Threw A Brick, Rejoice, Fire, Tomorrow, October, With A Shout, Scarlet - it's just awesome.
 
You people are so predictable. Gloria is the absolute safest song you could vote for in the first round of this album. Is it really the best song on the record? I think, realistically, it is the third best song on the record. I think Fire is the best(I voted for it), and then October, and then Gloria.

Yes, I do think Gloria's the best - it's such a sensational song and I can see why it's so highly rated. Sure, when JT comes along, it'll be predictable to vote for Streets, but that's because it's so great. Same for Gloria.

My rankings:
1. Gloria
2. Tomorrow
3. I Threw A Brick
4. Rejoice
5. Fire
6. Scarlet
7. October
8. With A Shout
9. Stranger In A Strange Land
10. Is That All?
11. I Fall Down

That by no means is static besides 1-2. 3-8 and 9-11 can all change amongst themselves and I guarantee if I ranked this album tomorrow, it'll be different.

Wow, October's just so good. :drool: Horrifically under-rated. That whole run from 1-8 is totally droolworthy.

It's criminal that you have the title track ranked 7. It is easily better than I Threw A Brick, Rejoice, or Tomorrow. Hopefully it will be higher when you rank them again tomorrow :wink:

It could make third, you know!

But I Threw A Brick and Rejoice have such awesome drumming. :drool:

And Tomorrow's an absolute classic. Utterly no way October could top that for me. I really don't know how I managed to choose Gloria. It was by the barest of margins.
 
Khanada,

Are you going by the international release of albums? or the USA versions? It would be nice if The Ground Beneath Her Feet and Fast Cars could be included in this game.
 
Voted for "I Fall Down" although I prefer "Gloria" and "October".......just wanted to vote for it from the start and keep doing so until it's no longer in the poll.

I'm voting for it until its off the poll to. I love that song, and the whole album too.
