Generation Terrorists Survivor: DAY 16

I was just thinking: While we wait for album news why don't we vote for our favourite songs from each album?
I know this has been done before but this time it's a little different. There will be a poll daily, and each day, the least popular song is removed until we have a winner.

So let's start at the best way to start, Generation Terrorists.

THE VOTE IS NOW CLOSED
CULTURE SUCKS DOWN SONGS:
18. Repeat (Stars and Stripes): 68.18%, 15 votes
17. Damn Dog 57.14%, 8 votes
16. Tennessee 27.78%, 5 votes
15. So Dead 38.46%, 5 votes
14. Spectators of Suicide 66.67%, 2 votes (after tiebreaker)
13. Another Invented Disease 14 votes amassed over 6 days (tie)
12. Methadone Pretty 25%, 4 votes
11. Repeat (UK) 25%, 4 votes
10. Crucifix Kiss 15 votes amassed over 9 days (tie)
9. Love's Sweet Exile 36.36%, 4 votes
8. Born to End
7. Condemned to Rock 'N' Roll
6. Nat West-Barclays-Midlands-Lloyds
5. Slash 'N' Burn
4. You Love Us
3. Little Baby Nothing
2. Stay Beautiful
1. MOTORCYCLE EMPTINESS

B-sides:
15. Bored Out of My Mind 30%, 3 votes
14. R.P. McMurphy 37.5%, 3 votes
13. Theme from M.A.S.H (Suicide Is Painless) 50%, 2 votes
12. Starlover 30.77%, 4 votes
11. Ain't Going Down 33.33%, 4 votes
10. Soul Contamination 40%, 2 votes
9. A Vision of Dead Desire 42.86%, 3 votes
8. We Her Majesty's Prisoners
7. Never Want Again
6. Dead Yankee Drawl
5. Democracy Coma
4. Spectators of Suicide (Heavenly Version)
3. Sorrow 16
2. You Love Us (Heavenly Version)
1. MOTOWN JUNK

Leave vote/rant below.
Come back tomorrow for the results!

I always forget how many songs I love on GT. But Repeat (Stars and Stripes) wouldn't be missed.

Yeah, it'd be Repeat (Star and Stripes) for me too. Should have been a b-side.

Strictly speaking I don't approve of covers pushing out new material so Damn Dog has a mark by it but I do still absolutely love it though.

The Lion Sleeps Tonight (copyright JDB) - sorry, Spectators Of Suicide - is the soporific odd one out, but it's new material, so I suppose it stays.

Nice idea, btw!

1 day down, 16 to go, and poor old Repeat (Stars and Stripes) has the unfortunate honour of being first to leave. By a long way, too, with 68% of the vote. Only three other songs recieved any votes.
Today's poll is here: https://strawpoll.com/zgsbrecx
Also enabled comments for your own little rants.
Get voting!

Yep, Damn Dog next - I never skip it, but covers and remixes tend to be bottom of the list.

Please tell me only Glass Angel and Automatik voted

Repeat's one of the best

Or was it irony...Suicide Aldi definitely does irony

The Damn Dog could be lost though...

Yep. Never understand the inclusion of covers or remixes (even as hidden tracks).

Day 2's vote has now closed. Thanks to everyone who voted.
Looks like you all fed Damn Dog with your votes, giving it an early exit.

Two for two... Tennessee next for me, it's not a bad song,, it's just not a particularly good song.

Tenessee for me too. The original version on the suicide alley single is much better.

Tennessee was subverted, destroyed, beat, derelict.
We're down to the final 15, and the vote is now OPEN: https://strawpoll.com/35peksf8
I'm also going to concurrently run a B-sides/Motown Junk/Heavenly/M.A.S.H etc. survivor starting from today, you can find it here: https://strawpoll.com/raabcf4b

YOUR VOTE MATTERS

Hmmm... I feel next will be a few 'rawk' numbers. Born To End for me, but the decision is definitely getting harder!

I love Tennessee! Philistines.

I voted for The Lion Sleeps Tonight, the other version of which is much better - as JDB knows and will gladly tell you.
