Protest songs

[VaticanAssassin]

Is it too much to hope all this nonsense could spawn some decent music?

Could Justin Bieber be the next Bob Dylan?

So what's your favorite? It ain't me is probably popular but I've always preferred eve of destruction.

Bieber? No.

You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant.

And remember Country Joe: Feel Like I'm Fixing To Die

Bieber? No.

Well if you have to explain a joke......

Dylan had a lot of good one but Only a Pawn was probably the best.

I would put Paint it Black high on the list but probably not technically a protest song...

Rage has some good ones on a slightly more recent note...

Don't just be Blowing in the Wind.

Is that your redemption song?

Redemption is something I do not require.

I'm an old timer; It Ain't Me, Babe and Eve of Destruction are two of my favorites. Are you familiar with Desmond Dekker's Israelites?

How about a song that protests the existence of Justin Bieber?

Phil Ochs!

Those 60s performers might have been a little naive, but they produced some memorable songs. For me, anyway.

Fortunate Son - CCR

Waste Deep in the Big Muddy - Pete Seeger

Desolation Row - Dylan

Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who

Nice idea for a thread, by the way.
