Protest Songs

[MilfordHusky]

I’m surprised this hasn’t been listed.

Almost any song sung by Pete Seeger and, to a lesser extent, Joan Baez

As often the case, written by Dylan...but sounds better sung by Joan. (They sang it together too, but this still more listenable except for real hard core fans.) Lyrics follow the video...and if you like it, search out the Judy Collins smooth version.

Buffalo Springfield with For What It's Worth

This is my favorite.

 

[JordyG]

Still relevant.

 

[Woof 101]

Possibly the best song line of all time:
"My blood's so mad it feels like coagulating."

Wow, remember this like it was yesterday! Must be the love of the music because I most times have to really work to remember where I was yesterday.
Great song, I just want to add what may have been considered a rebuttal type of song in the same era.
The Spokesmen - "Dawn of Correction"

Flipped a coin on which Gil-Scott Heron tune to post. Came up heads:



Tails would've been "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised".
