Worst of the Worst - Song Elimination Round 19 (Vote for the BEST song)

THIS ROUND IS DIFFERENT.  Vote for what you think is the BEST song here.

No song can be eliminated unless it wins a majority of votes.  If no song gets a majority in the initial vote, that round will go to a runoff, with the top two songs from each round competing against each other directly.  If there is a tie for second or a multi-way tie for first, then more than two songs may end up in the runoff.

No poll will be called until one of these things is true:
1. At least 30 votes have been cast
2. At least 15 votes have been cast for the leading song
3. A full week has passed since the poll began

A runoff round can be started before 30 votes have been cast if the two leading songs are far enough ahead that they will still be the two leading songs when 30 votes are eventually cast no matter which songs the remaining votes go to.

For the album elimination polls, I also didn't allow people to change their vote, as I didn't want people to be biased and vote for a song they don't actually think is the worst in order to save a song that they like from being eliminated.  However, with the runoff system, that's not a problem, as votes for songs that have no shot of winning the round will not be thrown away.  As a result, you will be allowed to change your vote.

So, without further ado, get voting!  Vote for what you think is the BEST song, and the song with the most votes will be removed after each round.  One song will be chosen as the worst song of U2's entire catalog.  Along the way, I will be noting some other less-significant results like the worst of each decade or the worst actual U2 song if Elvis wins.

Best for me here is TTTYAATW.

The fact that Trip Through Your Wires even has to suffer the indignity of being in this poll irks me.  So criminally underrated.

Agreed.  TJT is one album in particular for me where a 'worst' doesn't easily stand out.  TTYW is where my vote goes.

Could've gone with TTTYAATW or TTYW, but chose Another Time Another Place. I have always loved the line, "Just as I am, I woke with a tear on my tongue. I woke with a feeling of never before, in my sleep I discovered the one, then she ran with the morning sun."

Damn, this one is hard. There are some real gems among the trash. I've got about five or six candidates.

In every trash can lies a treasure.

Figured out my top three best of this list, in order:

TTYW
TTTYAATW
TPM

I like the change-up, SS.

I've got The Playboy Mansion first. There are surprisingly many decent songs here...

ANOTHER TIME ANOTHER PLACE WAS THE FIRST ELIMINATED?

lol

This is probably a top 15 U2 song for me.

Red Light is also pretty awesome.

What would you have axed from Boy and War?

What would you have axed from Boy and War?

From Boy, A Day Without Me.

From War, don't know.

Going with Red Light, but Another Time Another Place, Boomerang II, as J Swallo were close. Also I'll never understand how  Are You Gonna Wait Forever and Boomerang II got voted off first in their respective rounds.

Dammit I did not read and voted for Ahimsa.   Can I get my vote back?
