Hello everyone, I made a new thread for people to discuss the results of a top 10 U2 songs poll I just compiled. I felt that it would be good to start fresh rather then tack it onto the end of a long post. If you haven't yet given your top 10, feel free to add it here
http://forum.talku2.com/index.php?topic=788.0Things About Methodology
Ranking a song #1 gives it a score of 10, #2 gives it a 9, etc. I added up all the scores from all the different people on all the different songs. In the event of a tie, I will pick the song that was on more people's lists. For those who said, no particular order, each song you picked was given a 5, as that balances the numbers out by it being in the middle.
WITHOUT FURTHER ADO
1. Until the End of the World (80 points)
2. Where the Streets Have No Name (74 points)
3. Bad (71 points)
4. Acrobat (66 points)
5. Stay (55 points)
6. A Sort of Homecoming (54 points)
7. Ultra Violet (Light My Way) (45 points)
8a. Running to Stand Still (44 points, featured on 8 lists)
8b. Mofo (44 points, featured on 6 lists)
9a. The Fly (38 points, featured on 9 lists)
9b. One (38 points, featured on 6 lists)
10. Please (33 points)
Any thoughts, surprises, or any other ideas on how this list looks, and what you think about it, feel free to comment! If you like this concept, let me know, and ill start some series of rankings, with non album tracks coming next.
