I voted for SBS - TBH, I have always found the song a bit cringe worthy, attempting to tackle, as it does, a complex subject, in a pop song.

I like SBS. I picked the one a pitchfork mob is going to come after me for.

SBS is amazing but has been overplayed to death. NYD is also overplayed but I think it works better in late-stage U2 as it doesn't demand quite the same angry energy. 40 is a bit boring though I think it works as a calm closer to the album. Its one of those 3 as I cant see any of the other songs being overrated. Went with 40.

I don’t see any overrated song on War.
A dangerous idea that almost makes sense...

WTF? Surrender is a wonderful song.

Yeah. Overplayed doesn’t mean overrated.

Martin, did you leave your pitchfork at home? I’ve got an extra one if you need it.

Since I’m not voting on this one, I can’t see the results. So you get a pass.

Two Hearts is a forgotten single. Maybe another song on the album would have been a better choice. Surrender maybe.

Two Hearts is definitely a weaker song on War. I always skip it alongside SBS. Apart from those two it’s a fine LP, dubious production, notwithstanding
