these are worthy arguments, Mal. And debm makes a good counterpoint a couple of posts below yours.

But that's taking the songs on their merits as symbols of protest. Another important factor to consider is people's attachment to any given song, which cannot be accounted for by others. One of those three may have been the soundtrack to the best summer of some young DUer's life. So that song will evoke memories that they cherish. Those individuals may choose the best song best on their association with that song from their own personal history rather than breaking down the lyrics and composition.
