U2 Win Something Else

(antiMusic) Don't you just love polls? We do too, we conduct them then never publish the results (we can tell you that Good Charlotte and Sum 41 tied our lamest bands of all time poll) but we're not talking about us, we're talking about a new poll that's all the rage over in the UK which places the U2's lyric to "One" as the bestest most wonderful words put to song ever and ever ("and that's a mighty long time" to steal from another song). Now don't let that "leave a bad taste in your mouth" Vh1(UK) did poll 13,000 people for this and the words "One life, with each other, sisters, brothers" were deemed the best in the land that gave us Shakespeare and Byron. Only to be slightly outdone, The Smiths claimed second place with the immortal words "So you go, and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home, and you cry, and you want to die," from their hit "How Soon is Now?" You may be thinking, hey this poll stinks but it really does get better when it begins to smell like teen spirit as Nirvana claims third place with "I feel stupid and contagious, here we are now, entertain us".

Still reading? Ok well the good folks over at Gigwise have reprinted the Top 20 for your reading pleasure. But before you click over, take a guess at where Radiohead's Creep landed on the poll and these immortal words from the poet Tupac "Now Let Me Welcome Everybody To The Wild, Wild West, A State That's Untouchable Like Elliot Ness".
