tough match. Streets is an archetypal U2 song for a good reason, and it is excellent. But Acrobat is a real masterpiece, and the way the music sounds like you spend the whole song falling, the desperate defiance that builds at the end of the song - so good!

God damn. Vote for Acrobat. I’ve been semi obsessed with that song recently. I absolutely love Streets too.

Oh man. Acrobat is top shelf U2 for me. But Streets is just iconic and for good reason.

btw i can never disassociate where the streets have no name with the movie fearless since i saw it in theaters in 1993. it aids and abets so that i connect it with passion, nihilism (but not really), letting go, connection, empathy and ultimate human experience... adds to the allure of an already incredible song.

Streets is still the high point of any U2 concert. I’m not sure what song I’d vote over it.

There are songs in this tournament I'd vote for over Streets...Acrobat, while excellent, is not one of them

I wish Acrobat could’ve pulled this one off, but it’s understandable losing to Streets. If nothing else, this tournament reminded me how great a song it is. And it put up a good fight here.
