Yeah, the Ultimate Song Tournament is really only a reliable barometer for what songs are truly loved. There are several songs on each Round that I really like, but just not Top 2.

I'm going to do an Ultimate poll for least liked U2 song after TD's poll is done.

I'd say these are contenders based on their performance in the Ultimate tournament.

Another Time, Another Place
One Step Closer
Like a Song
A Day Without Me
Hawkmoon 269
White as Snow
Yahweh
Wild Honey
Stand Up Comedy
Shadows and Tall Trees
Twilight
All Because of You
Peace on Earth
Van Diemen’s Land
I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight
When Love Comes To Town
Love and Peace Or Else
With A Shout
I Threw a Brick Through a Window
Babyface
Stranger in a Strange Land
4th of July
The Refugee
Red Light

Probably, but i'd actually do an entire tournament.

It be interesting as people would have to think negatively rather than positively. Some results could be surprising.

A tournament like that would be frustrating, because there's only a small handful of U2 songs I genuinely dislike compared to how many I love or like. So, I'd eventually be voting against songs I enjoy.  :(

Yeah I know, but it would be interesting to see the turnouts.

Everybody would have to have a different mindset when voting on that kind of a poll

A least liked poll would be so negative.

Negativity can be good... in some special cases.

It's a good atmospheric album, but it's too short, 2 of the songs are only 1-2 minutes long, and at least 4 of the songs (IMO) are filler. Ironicly enough, I bought the remastered box set for far too much $ when it came out.

I used to think the same as you. TUF was way at the bottom of my preferred U2 albums. However, repeated listens have made me come to really value a lot of the songs I once thought of as filler. Especially Promenade, which has become one of my favourite U2 songs.

A fair few, but Numb, the  October album outside Gloria/I Threw A Brick/Tomorrow and DEFINITELY Miami are the core ones.
