Where is my mind? v One The Pixies Gigantic v Bad (live) Tie -- Possibly my favorite song by each band. Wave of Mutilation v Beautiful Day The Pixies -- I don't know what this says about me Here Comes Your Man v Where the Streets Have No Name U2 -- Both songs had to weather overexposure on radio play but U2 fares better Hey v New Year's Day The Pixies -- A girl I had a crush on freshman year in college had "Hey" on her answering machine. I was too pathetically shy to leave a message. Rock Music v Until the End of the World U2 -- Nice sentence for millenial rockers. Is She Weird? v I Will Follow Tie Planet Of Sound v Vertigo The Pixies Subbacultcha v Ultraviolet (Light My Way) U2 -- Hahn I thought I was the only one who loved this song. U-Mass v Sunday Bloody Sunday The Pixies -- I saw the Pixies play at the U-Mass Lowell arena a few years back and the crowd went crazy at this tune. "Sunday" is still one of the all-time greats though. The Pixies 6:4 U2

This one ends at 3:12pm on Monday. Vote (I haven't yet but I will once I get around to listening to the requisite Pixies songs).

We also need photos and phun phacts.

Where is my mind? v One U2 Gigantic v Bad (live) U2 Very tough to beat those first two. Wave of Mutilation v Beautiful Day Tie Here Comes Your Man v Where the Streets Have No Name U2 Hey v New Year's Day U2 Rock Music v Until the End of the World U2 Is She Weird? v I Will Follow U2 Planet Of Sound v Vertigo U2 Subbacultcha v Ultraviolet (Light My Way) U2 U-Mass v Sunday Bloody Sunday U2 It's not a perfect lineup for U2 (A Sort of Homecoming?) but it's pretty close. Where's Debaser? U2, 9.5 - 0.5

HahnSolo Jun 17 2006 11:45 AM

] (A Sort of Homecoming?) Definitely not in my U2 top ten, in fact I like at least three songs better on that one album. I think with U2 there's probably 4-5 songs that would be in everybody's top ten, then there's about 15-20 different songs that are on a similar level to choose from to fill out a list.

I'm an admin, not your grid-making slave. vs. "Where is My Mind?" vs. "One" "Gigantic" vs. "Bad (live)" "Wave of Mutilation" vs. "Beautiful Day" "Here Comes Your Man" vs. "Where the Streets Have No Name" "Hey" vs. "New Year's Day" "Rock Music" vs. "Until the End of the World" "Is She Weird?" vs. "I Will Follow" "Planet Of Sound" vs. "Vertigo" "Subbacultcha" vs. "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)" "U-Mass" vs. "Sunday Bloody Sunday" Interesting Fact About the Pixies: The Pixies were originally called "Pixies in Panoply," selecting a name randomly from the dictionary. Interesting Fact About U2: Early U2 names include "The Larry Mullen Band," "Feedback," and "The Hype."

Where is My Mind?" vs. "One" U2 "Gigantic" vs. "Bad (live)" Cool searing guitar and female vocals. Still loses to U2. "Wave of Mutilation" vs. "Beautiful Day" U2 "Here Comes Your Man" vs. "Where the Streets Have No Name" Pixies "Hey" vs. "New Year's Day" U2 "Rock Music" vs. "Until the End of the World" Um, yeah, I'll go U2 for playing a song that doesn't scare girlfriends. "Is She Weird?" vs. "I Will Follow" Little grabs you like the first clatter of bottles at the beginning of “I Will Follow.” U2. "Planet Of Sound" vs. "Vertigo" U2 "Subbacultcha" vs. "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)" U2. "Subba," is one of those Pixies songs that wears off on me pretty fast. "U-Mass" vs. "Sunday Bloody Sunday" “U-Mass” is good dancefloor stomp. Why not? Pixies. 8-2 U2.
