Please VS Sunday Bloody Sunday: both are about The Troubles. But which is better

I voted for Please. Sunday Bloody Sunday is hopelessly naive, reducing, as it does, complex sociopolitical themes to embarrassing sound bites. Sonically, like pride, it also has all the subtlety of a breeze block. Please is much more nuanced.

Please - single version which has the strings added for dramatic effect.
SBS is probably the better song about the troubles per se with the tribal marching band strident drum beat.

I generally enjoy SBS more, both great songs though.

Tough call. I absolutely love Please, and the video is amazing, but SBS is the song that made me a fan back in the day, so I can't vote against it.
Neither holds a candle to Zombie as the song of the NI conflict though.
