Rest of U2 Survivor: The Joshua Tree - Round 6

[corianderstem]

In God's Country was put to bed last round, and is now dreaming beneath a desert sky.

Aaaaand I expect this next round to be ending with some euthanasia.

VOTE FOR YOUR LEAST FAVORITE SONG

Polls will remain open for 48 hours, unless one song has taken enough of a beating after a day or so, in which case we'll call it an act of mercy and move on to the next round.

Songs in this round:

- Running To Stand Still
- Red Hill Mining Town
- One Tree Hill


Criteria for song selection (at least for the albums): anything on the regular pressings of the Best Of 1980-1990, Best Of 1990-2000, and U2:18 is excluded.

 

[corianderstem]

Let the mauling of Red Hill Mining Town begin.

 

[martha]

Red Hill Fucking Mining Town

 

[phillyfan26]

Red Hill Mining Town, but with a severance package.

 

[No spoken words]

Running to Stand Still.

 

[2861U2]

RHMT, for the 4th straight time

Let's finally put it out of it's misery.

 

[waynetravis]

Red Hill

 

[xaviMF22]

Red Hill

awful video too :vomits:

 

[the tourist]

Red Hill Mining Town.

 

[Diemen]

There's no way Red Hill is better than Exit.

S'about time it got kicked off.

 

[fandangamoq]

Mercy...

 

[The Sad Punk]

RTTS and RHMT are equally less enjoyable than OTH to me (there's no doubt RTTS is a better constructed song all round, but certainly not a favourite of mine). I voted for the former.

 

[liamcool]

Standstill.

 

[Rob33]

Red Hill

awful video too :vomits:

music videos are almost meaningless in my opinion, i mean they can serve as an interesting visual interpretation of a song but how could you possibly like a song less or have less respect for it just because of the music video? I mean it's the music we should care about, not a stupid video to the music! I'm not specifically referring to you xaviMF, but I know there are some who feel this way and this never made sense to me...


I once visited a site where this guy did in depth analysis of various bands and compared them, eventually choosing a winner- he compared U2 to I think R.E.M. and broke the bands down into what he thought were the major categories that needed to be compared, and he devoted one whole category simply to music videos...obviously U2 lost in that category, but holy shit, what does this really have to do with the actual music? As far as I'm concerned, it is entirely irrelevant...


The RHMT video wasn't so great, but it would never in the slightest way enter my mind when formulating judgments on these songs and voting for my favorite in this tournament...i''m voting RHMT and then RTSS, OTH shall be victorious!!

 

[Mr. V]

RHMT, from RTSS. only just.

 

[intedomine]

One Tree Hill, easy...

 

[MsMofoGone]

Sorry ... but how is "Running To Stand Still" ... still here ?? .



and "Red Hill Mining Town" SHOULDN'T be the next to go.

 

[bonocomet]

Please put RHMT out of it's misery soon, it really doesn't deserve this

Voted for RHMT

 

[coolian2]

One Tree...no, wait

 

[U2lunatic]

Running..... I Do not like that song,

 

[Aardvark747]

Red Hill....again!

 

[Cigar]

"Red Hill Mining Town"

R.I.P.

 

[phanan]

I know this is a useless vote, but I like RHMT better than RTSS.

 

[phillyfan26]

One Tree Hill, easy...

Yes, it is the easy winner, I know.

 

[CTU2fan]

Time to kill the canary...

 

[pat132]

[the tourist]

Just so we can wait for Axver to be here full on for the final, I think we should allow this round to drag out to it's full, bloody, two day end.
