Surely this "pairs" thing is not a helpful way of determining the "weakest link". Like you said at the beginning, sometimes there will be really difficult choices to make, either between songs you really like, or songs you dislike equally. If you really wanted to find out the most unpopular song, why not just have a straight vote? Everybody says their least favourite song and you just see what gets the most votes? Maybe you should try that next, and see if you get the same result or not. – Annie Vox

album. I noticed that the remaining songs are heavily skewed towards Boy & October (7/13), and this got me wondering: is that because the majority of NG peeps are younger (i.e. weren’t old enough to be music fans in 1981) and thus slightly favor the newer stuff or because Boy and October just aren’t as good? (My guess is the former for Boy and the latter for October.)
As one of those "younger NG peeps" (Boy is older than I am, but October isn’t), I’ve been dismayed at the number of Boy tracks that have made it to the later rounds. I’ve never disliked Boy; I never really discovered it until about a year ago, and now its among my favorite U2 albums. (As a rough ordering, AB is by far the favorite, followed by Pop, with JT and Boy jockeying for the bronze…) It definitely lacks the skill and polish that the later (UF onwards) albums show (it took me all of one listen to learn the bass lines to half the songs on Boy), but the talent is definitely there, and there’s a certain raw energy to it that I’m not able to hear in anything since then. So I’m guessing that if all of the folks on the NG were to give Boy a few listens, and then we repeated this lil’ exercise, there wouldn’t be nearly as many Boy tracks left. October, on the other hand… — U2 Code: NO+++ FA+++ S++$ N B+ C L+++X O+ CV+++ AB10/11

The Playboy Mansion A Day Without Me Scarlet Red Light The Ocean Miami btw, I’m ashamed you people voted out Babyface and When Love Comes to Town (although the voting was close). For me, these are the two weakest links. In my opinion, not only are they the worst U2 songs, they are just terrible songs in general. But whatever. And how the heck is Some Days Are Better Than Others still on here? Why do people on this group dislike that song? I think it’s pretty good, one of only three from Zooropa that I actually really like.
Well, I can’t believe ‘Peace On Earth’ is on the remaining thirteen. To me this is the most emotional, memorable song on ATYCLB. You can hear the underlying anger, pain, and bitterness in Bono’s voice when he is reciting names of some of the Omagh bombing victims and when speaking directly to God in lines like ‘She never got to say goodbye, to see the color in his eyes, now he’s in the dirt. That’s peace on earth.’ I really think that those of you who actually think this is one of the worst songs U2 has ever done need to go and listen to it again. No you can’t dance to ‘Peace On Earth’ and it’s not a makeout song. No, it’s just quintessential U2; raw, emotional, heartbreaking, memorable.

I can’t imagine how horrible it must be to not love Zooropa. What a great album. I noticed that the remaining songs are heavily skewed towards Boy & October (7/13), and this got me wondering: is that because the majority of NG peeps are younger (i.e. weren’t old enough to be music fans in 1981) and thus slightly favor the newer stuff or because Boy and October just aren’t as good? (My guess is the former for Boy and the latter for October.) It would be interesting to see what 13 songs would be left in round four if the pairings in previous rounds were (randomly) changed. Almost certainly not the same ones, and Snowlock, that’s probably why SDABTO stuck around so long. It likely just had some stiff competition. Oh, Snowlock, thanks for starting this. It’s interesting. jds

Tsk Tsk, Snowlock! Don’t you be starting one of those hairy superior song debates, You! I mean, I loved Discotheque & Zooropa as much as the more predicatable favourite cds, and, alas, I am in such a lonely minority. wistfully, michele.

Oh, I don’t know. I’d rate Pop along side UF and R&H.. Zooropa though… ack. Should’ve been an ep: Zooropa Stay SDABTO First Time Dirty Day (but only the bitter kiss remix)
