Some music just makes me want to go to the barricades and throw a Molotov... Like this one: James McMurtrys' "Can't Make It Here Anymore" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTW0y6kazWM So what do you think is the most powerful protest music?

Kid Rock's version of "Fortunate Son". He's got a better voice than Fogerty and puts more emotion into the song, in my opinion. Kid Rock - "Fortunate Son"

Remember this one? Youngbloods, Get Together http://youtu.be/WybIhLJjlTY

This is hard for me to watch... CCR - "Run THrough The Jungle"

ChatteParfaitt -> RE: Best Protest Songs (4/26/2011 6:34:57 AM)
Good one, rulemylife. And though I'm a Foggarty fan, I have to agree. Great cover.

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. [:)]

Anything by PF rocks. Here is my fav by them: http://youtu.be/Nh7649KVd0I (If you remember that one, you have to be close to my age.) How about some Turtles: http://youtu.be/RSUmtUAenXI Baez and Dylan doing the quintessential protest tune: http://youtu.be/YjRaQU6Jyjk

ChatteParfaitt -> RE: Best Protest Songs (4/26/2011 6:48:03 AM)
Absolutely agree, another great classic !!

ChatteParfaitt -> RE: Best Protest Songs (4/26/2011 6:51:17 AM)
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 !!
