just listening to the Glastonbury concert versions to make a really basic comparison at a specific moment in time - not a good choice as both are annoying performances what with the snippets -although i just noticed the Waterboys snippet in Bad there (psst it doesn't work!) 
i'm still undecided... i think Streets is the Edge's song, it's his guitar work that shines and takes centre stage there i think, whereas Bad is Bono's song - the lyrics are gorgeous and i love the interplay of the words, it's like poetry (studio versions, i mean, he messes with the lyrics live doesn't he
)
going back to listen to the studio versions again...

So you've been lurking since December, just waiting to pounce on Streets if (rather, when!) it got to the final round?
Pardon me if this doesn't just look like a ghost account set up by a regular here to try and fuck with the final result. I'm sure digitize doesn't expect 100% participation in each round. But ONE vote, and not until the very final deciding round? And no other posts in the forum, ever? Cmon.
PS. This only half serious, but I think it bears pointing out, even if it's just all for fun.

Edge's guitar on live Bad is so good. Makes the song for me, especially when it picks up.

Well it was fun while it lasted. I really hoped for the non-generic winner this time.
Don't totally count your chickens before they hatch. Streets will probably win, but this poll still has almost a full day left.

Are we doing a Radiohead survivor next? That would be awesome.

Absolutely, I really prefer it when Bono doesn't scream the whole way through Edge's solo, it's that part which really elevates the live versions over the original studio version. For me, Edge's guitar (esp the solo, if you'd call it that) sums up everything I love about U2.

Bad. Streets, as always, deserve to win. Such a phenomenal song.

I think Streets is a lock. Sure, it may be a boring result and we may have known it was winner since day 1 of the game, but it is worthy. The only song I would've rather had won would be The Fly, but nevertheless, Streets is a more than worthy winner. Bad is good, and I respect how it can be magical for some, but there's something about Streets that is so captivating. The passion, the energy, it all adds up to a glorious piece of music.
Is it predictable? Yes. But Streets wins because it's simply the best.

Bah humbug.
Still, will be interesting when I do the alternate multiple vote for favourites Survivor. Perhaps the final of that will throw up an unexpected result. I'll kick that off after Easter, since I imagine people might not be around over the holidays.

A most worthy champion is crowned!

The best song won and the second-best song finished second. A couple of the 00s songs (BD, MOS) should have been in the top 10, but overall, a pretty decent job.

That would have been so awesome, especially if Zooropa had won. Imagine the fit Prick66 would have had over that one!
