U2 Album Track Tournament Update

[an tha]

So we are down to the Last 16.

For the 4th Round I am going to divide the 16 remaining songs into 4 groups of 4

You will be invited to vote for your favourite 2 songs from each group and the top 2 from each group will move onto the next round.

The 16 songs in Round 4 which qualified from Round 3 are:

Until The End of The World
Running To Stand Still
Zoo Station
New Years Day
Where The Streets Have No Name
Mofo
One Tree Hill
Lemon
Zooropa
One
Acrobat
The Unforgettable Fire
Bad
Ultra Violet (Light My Way)
The Fly
Stay (Faraway So Close)

The 16 songs will be drawn into 4 groups of 4 randomly by me using a random number generator.

I'll post the groups tomorrow.

Thanks for doing this breakdown...was going to do something similar myself.

Interesting.

[Spacejunk69]

I'd replace Streets with Please and One with An Cat Dubh and you have pretty got many of my favorite songs in this list!

[MEMORY_MAN]

I created a playlist based on the top 16. Try it out. 

Zoo Station
The Fly
Until The End of the World
New Year's Day
Lemon
Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
Running to Stand Still
Zooropa
Mofo
Acrobat
Bad
The Unforgettable Fire
One
One Tree Hill
Ultra Violet (Light My Way)
Where The Streets Have No Name

[MEMORY_MAN]

What if I add back 4 more and make it 20.  Which ones should I add back?  Gone, Please, An Cat Dubh, 40?  Thoughts?

[an tha]

OK so we are down to the last 8 now:

The 8 songs are:

The Fly
Where The Streets Have No Name
Until The End of The World
Zooropa
Ultra Violet (Light My Way)
The Unforgettable Fire

Stay (Faraway So Close)

Later today I will draw and post the groups for Round 5 - The last 8

[Spacejunk69]

Replace the woefully inferior Streets (to the rest of the songs on that list) with Acrobat or Please and you have 8 of my top ten songs there!

Wow.
