    and the answer for the single question..........
    we actually have a tie between three songs, each appears 3 times as B-sides:

    1. Bullet The Blue Sky - In God's Country Single, One Tree Hill Single, Stay (Faraway So Close) Single.

    2. New York - Stuck in a Moment Non Canadian Single, Walk On Canadian Single, Elevation Single

    3. Out Of Control - I Will Follow Single, The Sweetest Thing Single, City Of Blinding Lights Single

    [all the info from [url=http://www.u2wanderer.org/disco/song.html]u2wanderer.org[/url] ]

    so that makes Katja [loftarasa] the winner!!
    she guessed correctly Out Of Control and therefor won a slightly used Electrical Storm Single!

    thanks everyone for participating! [it was kinda fun calculating the votes:P]

    see ya next year,

    Noam.

  4. wohooooo wondered what happened with this poll, now the results are finally there!

    Thanks a lot for your efforts in putting everything together

    It's really a shame that only 11 ppl participated. But that made it easier for lucky me to win something :-o. I was totally surprised by your message, really! GREAT :-D.
  5. I guess Saitama and Honolulu had a few less downloads if they weren't available in two or three versions.

    Alex
  6. well done with putting this together. What was the question again?

    Isnt it interesting that most of the most downloaded boots are either broadcasts, soundboards or IEM in some way? Hmmm............

  12. broadcasts are the best, it's great to listen to a broadcast bootleg.
