U2 song draft signup/discussion thread

Stephen, your PM box is full, but the answer to your question is yes.

[Stephen]

Whoops, sorry about the full PM box.

Yeah, I figured that was the one you were thinking of.

[Erik]

Yep, it was I Will Follow. I almost took it at the 1/2 turn. Would never have thought it would have made it to the third round, behind three Rattle and Hum songs.

I'm amazed that there's a certain song still out there, but I'm almost 100% sure that either Johnny or Stephen will take it.

I don't think Angel of Harlem would have lasted to the fifth round. Some people don't care for Rattle and Hum, but that was a pretty big hit.

I'm guessing "I Will follow" was not the song you were thinking off ... I'm probably off the straight and narrow from here on

Edit: ignore this post I guess

[Stephen]

Yeah, I am shocked it lasted that long. I'm not shocked that you took it though Johnny.

I'm ready with my picks as soon as you post yours.

(Unless you jank one of mine.)

[Stephen]

Posted. I took New Year's Day which is anything I am surprised is still around.

[Erik]

Uh, I took New Year's Day in the first round.

[Stephen]

Yeah, that was a total copy and paste fail. Sorry about that.

[Erik]

8 songs from The Joshua Tree are gone in three rounds. There are only 11.

Love the Exit pick. Like a lot of the quieter songs in the REM draft, this one really takes on a life of its own in concert.

[senorsheep]

Ouch! Stephen just burned me twice with In God's Country and Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses. Great picks.

[Stephen]

Thanks man.

I expected to take a little ribbing for Wild Horses, but it's just too good.

[johnnya24]

Was flipping a few coins there. If I didn't already have a "Boy" track, it'd have been an easier choice.

[johnnya24]

Yeah, I am shocked it lasted that long. I'm not shocked that you took it though Johnny.

Boy is my other go-to U2 record (along with the obvious) ... so that was kind off a no-brainer in the 3rd.
