Gold Against The Soul Survivor!

Happy New Year everyone!
So after the first survivor was finished I asked you all which album you'd like me to do a survivor for next.

Now 2018 will be a big year for the Manics...
- New album
- 20 years of This Is My Truth... and maybe a tour
- 30 years of 'Suicide Alley'

And it's also 25 years of Gold Against the Soul!

And naturally that was the album you voted to do next.

So if you've never done one of these before, it's a sort of 'un-popularity contest' where the song people like the least is voted out until one song is remaining.

As usual, I'll do two polls, one for the album and one for the B-sides and stuff.
Vote for your least favourite!

This poll has now ended. Thanks to everyone who voted.

WE DON'T WANT THESE FUCKING SONGS:
Album:
10. Symphony of Tourette 29%, 6 votes
9. Nostalgic Pushead 44%, 7 votes
8. Drug Drug Druggy 48%, 11 votes
7. Gold Against the Soul 42%, 10 votes
6. Yourself 48%, 12 votes
5. Sleepflower 40%, 8 votes
4. Life Becoming a Landslide 52%, 12 votes
3. La Tristesse Durera (Scream to a Sigh) 40%, 8 votes
2. Roses in the Hospital 58%, 11 votes
1. FROM DESPAIR TO WHERE 42%, 8 votes

B-sides:
8. Wrote for Luck 35%, 5 votes
7. Charles Windsor 35%, 6 votes
6. Us Against You 42%, 8 votes
5. Patrick Bateman 33%, 7 votes
4. Are Mothers Saints 42%, 8 votes
3. Hibernation 60%, 9 votes
2. Comfort Comes 68%, 13 votes
1. DONKEYS 32%, 6 votes

Forget what I posted earlier- someone's voted on the original and so we have a clear winner.
With 29% of the vote (from 6 votes) sorry Symphony of Tourette.

And Wrote for Luck is the first B-side to go.

Today we see the departure of Nostalgic Pushead from the album, and we've come to chop, chop, chop off Charles Windsor's head.

That's because GT had more of the hyped songs.

Fantastic song - the 'bridge track' to THB.

AARGH! No! I voted for Are Mother's Saints? which I wanted to win!!
Instead of Comfort Fucks Off!
Noooooo!! Everyone else made the same mistake too!
Damn it!
That's why we can't have electronic voting for proper grown up stuff!

Yourself has become the next song voted off, and by a long way too.
And you're no fan of Are Mothers Saints either.

So, now it's the last 5 on the album, last 3 on the B-sides. Your vote really does matter.

Also: loads more have been voting on this survivor than the GT one. 25 votes on the album - keep it up.
