Two similar sounding songs by U2. Which do you prefer the most?

  • The public enemy don't mean shit to Chuck D.
The one with the shorter title.
Listen as Hope and Peace try to rhyme,
Listen over marching bands playing out their time.

I reject the premise.

However if I'm saying which of these very different songs is better it's Little Things by a massive chasm.
Let the past die. kill it if you have to.

I guess it's The Little Things That Give You Away for me, though I don't care for either of them. SYCMIOYO has decent lyrics, but it's unfortunately all backed by a dull instrumental (moreso than Little Things, even).

I like them both for different reasons. I don't know that I would rate them against each other like this. I have always had a fondness for SYCMIOYO though.
Hold on, people! The man's talking about waste management. That affects the whole damn planet.

I really like both but The Little Things comes out on top for me, mostly for the last two minutes.

Yeah, I agree...the last two minutes save this song from a bit of boredom...the last two minutes are so deep, so beautiful.

I prefer SYCMIOYO.  It packs more of a punch and is more meaningful to me.
