So here it is: The final. Two songs, both singles, both from The Joshua Tree and you - YES, YOU! - have voted them all the way to this final match up. I'll say this for the very last time, weigh up the pros and cons, debate which should win and VOTE, BABY, VOTE!

Final:

Where The Streets Have No Name

Versus

With or Without You

Voting ends 8am, St Patrick's Day.

Bring it home STREETS

[kiwigene]

WOWY for me...

[Scarla]

I didn't even like 'Streets' when JT came out. It's only live performances that have made it so well-loved. (IMHO, of course.)

WOWY is the better song.

[nova]

I agree WOWY to me is by far better ,when it was first released there was nothing like it on the airwaves.

[Captain Pedantic]

WoWY is my favourite song - so I'm glad it made it at least thus far - it just shows the rest of you have great taste too...

[Nil]

Wow it's close, very close.

Streets for me, I love turning the stereo up loud to listen to the synths, then Edge comeing in, followed by Adam and Lary, and finally "I want to run...."

Streets definetely had the harder battles

Beautiful day, One Tree Hill, Pride and One are in my top 10 list of u2 songs!
