Guys, we have five weeks until the results. Let's not base our conclusions off the voting on day 1!  :D

You mean Scarlet could go from second last place to being on it? :3

My kids' kindergarten teacher used to say "you get what you get and you don't throw a fitty fit."  And remember, everything you need to know you learned in kindergarten.

I'm not a subscriber but I just wanted to add to this discussion that I don't understand the position of people who are complaining that live recordings of 360 performances are already available on U2start, etc.   Whatever other screw-ups they're responsible for, that's not U2's (or U2.com's) fault, is it?   In fact, it's well within their rights to take down those bootlegs.

And before anyone asks, I *don't* think allowing bootlegs is a screw-up; I use U2start religiously.

Far from impossible, I think. A long time to go.

If the supposed 'fans' vote for songs they already have so many times on live releases, and not the rarer tracks i am going to be mighty upset/explode.

zooropa   blue room   electrical storm   return stingray   spanish eyes   one tree   mothers   scarlet   even better   hold me   breathe   40

Now if only they use this same idea for previous tours..

I agree with you except for Electrical Storm.  That's a boring song and the live snipet they provide sounds boring indeed.

There is 22 songs people can choose from. After choosing all the rare songs, still PLENTY of room for other songs. Elec Storm is rare, so should be on there. I, like most people, have many versions of all those other songs.. But no elec storm. Not even once. That is one song. Just one. it Should be on there. What? it misses out for SBS or some such. Disgrace.


btw. the Crazy tonight version should be with Please and Discotheque sections from Sth America.

Ok guys, listen closely. I'm going to tell you the best thing you've heard all day- mp3va.com. It's legal, cheap, and they have all U2 live CDs (Popmart, Slane Castle, Chicago, Rosebowl, and even a few others), all u2 fan club CDs (AH, Duals), and every CD from U2 you'd ever want. Trust me, it's amazing. I'm not just trying to advertise for this site, I'm just saying it's what I legitimately use for all of my U2 music needs. So quit bickering about there not being good quality recordings of songs like Boots or Ultraviolet, it's all there. Trust me, give it a shot. I would rather have Miss Sarajveo and Your Blue Room than another recording of The Unforgettable Fire and Boots.

They're selling bootleg recordings and ripped CDs/DVDs not made available for digital distribution. How is that legal?

I think as long as you pay money, it's legit.

My son's teacher said...You get what you get and you don't get upset  :D :D   

So true about what you learned in Kindergarten, lorijane!

I am incredibly disappointed to wake up to the results I'm seeing now. While TUF, Zooropa, Magnificent, MoS, and NLOTH are still on the list, the big hits we've heard a million times have made huge leaps in vote percentage, with only Ultra Violet holding strong as a rarity.

Also, Scarlet is now dead last. Boo.

I wouldn't be surprised if Zooropa tumbles out for Elevation or some such tired crap.
