The fantastic protest songs of our time

I like songs that connect personal loss with the world's stupidity.

 

I actually like old timey music, but the shit you posted sucks and is corny as hell. Its much worse than anything else posted on this thread. If you were going to go that route post some JP Sousa or something, at least some people still want to hear that in 2024 lol.

 

Well you keep listening to that Public Enemy stuff and crap like that if that is your cup of tea.

 

Renaissance Fairs, they gotta go

 

Their music sucks ass, I’d rather listen to the FSU war chant for 24 hours straight

 

Is this a music critique thread? You and I are at least 30 years apart in age and from different cultural backgrounds. I’m not in here critiquing your music choices.

 

Whoah now, lets not say things we cant take back

 

I understand and was not directing most of my comments at you I have another poster who started by critiquing my choices. I'm just pointing out to him when he says that some of the music at the beginning of the 20th century was terrible that in my opinion Rap music is much worse than anything Billy Murray or George M Cohen did. Sorry if I offended you, my comments were directed at wgbgator. He has a habit of criticizing folks he generally disagrees with but letting folks he usually agrees with go on the same issues.

 

Apology accepted. Thanks.

 

Uhh, no.

That can be arranged.

 

Take this job and shove it

 

Yes, what is the point in cultivating taste if you cant critique someone else's?

 

Still relevant, though a little before "our time."

"Howe took dead aim at slavery in her lyrics. She and her husband were strong anti-slavery activists, called abolitionists. Included in one verse of the hymn were the words 'let us die to make men free'—to fight to end slavery, in other words. Howe's new words also angered southerners."

 

I think "John Brown's Body" is more of a "protest" anthem than this classed-up version but I'll allow it since it's basically the same tune

 

Well ... thank you for allowing it.

 

I dont have much power around here, but I use it where I can

 

A powerful song from possibly a lesser known artist (although well recognized during his time)

 

Stunned it took to post #42 to get to that absolute classic.

Winner!
