Like this one: James McMurtrys' "Can't Make It Here Anymore"

So what do you think is the most powerful protest music?

I remember when that came out, I was about 14 or so...

I remember when things got a little warm in the cities, too...

He's got a better voice than Fogerty and puts more emotion into the song, in my opinion.

Status: offline 		The ULTIMATE protest song.

This is one of my favorites from the 1980's. Although Nena has a much cuter ass, I like THIS version better.

A protest song doesn't have to be loud and fast to be effective as BRUCE has shown us.

Lastly, THIS is not usually thought of as a protest song but considering how against the grain of human nature it goes... I think it deserves mention.

There are a great many more but I've got actualy WORK to do today.

Status: offline 		Shine On is not protest, more a personal reflection song , but its my fav by PF, and one some may not have heard for a while.

If you know of it at your age, than I have to say your musical education has not been entirely lacking !!
