Finals: U2 Singles Survivor - Round One

is now open. Please vote by clicking in the circle next to the single you like the LEAST on the electronic poll above. Thank you.

Please be aware that you are voting on the WHOLE single release, not the individual a-side. In the same way that album survivor involved whole albums with their full complement of tracks competing against each other, singles survivor will involve whole singles with their full complement of tracks competing against each other.

This is a TWO day timed electronic poll.

Instructions:

Voting

Each round please vote off the single you like the least. The single with the most amount of votes is the the least popular for this round. Voting is anonymous. It's not compulsory to state your preference in the thread.

Next round all the singles are listed again, minus the single that receives the most amount of votes this round. And again please vote for your least favourite single from the selection.

And on we go for many rounds until there's only two singles left. In the last round you vote for your favourite out of the two. The last single standing is the most popular (or the least unpopular depending on how you look at it).

Tie Breaker

In the event of a tie, both or all tied singles will be instantly eliminated from the competition.

Have fun!

I gotta stick with Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses. Just thinking of Fortunate Son among such gems as Spanish Eyes and Lady With the Spinning Head makes me want to retch.
 
I think I'll go for Gloria, but for now, I'll watch and see how voting pans out and whether I need to protect any singles I really like.

I can't believe you people voted off Please! :mad:

If I don't go for Gloria and don't need to protect anything, that will probably get my vote. That song would be fine if Bono didn't sing!

I appreciate that....but I can't vote for EBTTRT! It's got Where Did It All Go Wrong and Lady With the Spinning Head, and I love both those songs. :(

Yeah, both of those are sensational b-sides. Where Did It All Go Wrong is one of my favourite songs, full stop. I don't think EBTTRT will be going anywhere soon, but it seems to have its regular voters.
 
I'm voting tactically to save horses this time.. (I bought the ltd edition just for the fallin in love cover)
 
Ah! Not A Celebration! I've just fallen in love with that song too and I've always felt that Trash, Trampoline and Party Girl is one of U2's best songs. After losing I'm Not Your Baby and Please. I don't know about this singles thing now.
 
Gloria. Good song, but its only b-side is a live song. I'd take Paint It Black and Can't Help Falling In Love With You over a live song (or a remix).
 
Okay I read my post again and it looks as though I'm saying Gloria has a remix on it. I know it doesn't. I was just saying I'd take a studio b-side over a live song or a remix. And Gloria just has a live song.

Well, I understand exactly what you mean in this post, and totally agree. Hence why I just voted for Gloria. That vote will also hopefully save A Celebration, which should not be kicked out while Wild Horses, Stuck, Walk On, or Electrical Storm are still here!
 
Why the heck is Stuck In A Moment... still here? You're telling me people prefer that song to A Celebration and Gloria? Give me a break...
 
What's with the pansy "non-winners list" shite? It's a LOSER list, dammit! That's what I named it and so it should stay. :angry:
 
Well, Axver, I really like the cover on the single in my avatar........and it was one that I didn't see anyone else with (and I got it from a different U2 forum, so it shouldn't end up showing up here).....

But yeah, other than the cool cover, here's hoping "Gloria" is toast.
