I thought this was a lot of fun before. Let's get it going again. :) I picked something pretty mainstream so more people could participate.
For those who need a refresher, I'll pick eight songs, pair them off, and you eliminate one from each pair. Winners from each round are paired off, and so on.
1a) Sunday Bloody Sunday
1b) New Year's Day
2a) With Or Without You
2b) Where the Streets Have No Name
3a) Mysterious Ways
3b) One
4a) Pride (In the Name of Love)
4b) Beautiful Day
Eliminate:
1b) An OK song, but Sunday Bloody Sunday is a killer
2b) Are you kidding me? With or Without You is one of the best songs ever written, and performed beautifully. In fact, it better win this bitch.
3a) Never liked this song.
4b) In the Name of Love is a great song from when U2 was at the top of their game. Beautiful Day is just radio filler.
An easy round for me, cool!
1a) Sunday Bloody Sunday
2b) A Street With No Name
3b) One
4a) In the Name of Love
Eliminate the ones in red:
1a) Sunday Bloody Sunday
1b) New Year's Day
2a) With Or Without You
2b) A Street With No Name
3a) Mysterious Ways
3b) One
4a) In the Name of Love
4b) Beautiful Day
Where The Streets Have No Name and Pride (In The Name Of Love) are the names of those two songs AFAIK.
Song titles fixed. I knew that, too. I shouldn't start these when I've been drinking.
Only one there that was really tough was (4), I really like 'Beautiful Day' but 'Pride' is just ultimately the better song.Quote:

Wait, I listed the ones I like. Am I supposed to be listing the ones I hate? I don't understand, I'm voting FOR all the (a) choices. I don't think that's how this worked last time, is it?
Yeah, before we were picking out the songs we were voting FOR. Sorry the OP was confusing.Quote:

Early morning, April 4,
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky,
Free at last, they took your life
But they could not take your pride.
Round 2 KEEPERS:
1a) Sunday Bloody Sunday
2b) Pride (In the Name of Love)
Wait, are you keeping those, or throwing them out? Please everyone be extremely specific on this point because Taumpy did this contest the opposite way of previous ones.Quote:

2b) Pride (In the Name of Love)- I'm not one of the One haters. I think it's a great song. But Pride is better.
KEEP:
1a) Sunday Bloody Sunday
2b) Pride (In the Name of Love)
Keep:
1b-with or without you
2b-Pride
Keep:
1b) With or Without You
2b) Pride (In the Name of Love)
KEEP:

2a) One
Keep:
1b) With Or Without You
2a) One
Final round! Two great songs left:
a) With Or Without You
b) Pride (In the Name of Love)
Voting ends Tuesday morning. If anybody wants to go next, speak up in the suggestion thread.
Keep a) With or Without You!
Keep b) Pride (In the Name of Love)
Keep (a) With or Without You
But both are fine choices.
Keep b) Pride (In the Name of Love)
Keep Pride (In the Name of Love)
I don't think a single song I've voted for so far has advanced. :(
So, in the spirit of reverse psychology: keep "Pride (In The Name Of Love)."
Keep Pride (in the Name of Love).
And the winner is: Pride (In the Name of Love)
