Re: Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks Tourney-1988
I voted for Orange Crush, Desire and Angel of Harlem. I voted for Orange Crush because I am a big fan of R.E.M. I voted for the two U2 songs because while they may not be my favorite U2 songs, they are still better than most of the artists on this list.

On the Turning Away I never really liked, it always felt like it lacked something.
