[Born Dancer]

"pick a song that could be considered political--> does it challenge or support stereotypes or express marginalised cultural identities? does it communicate ideas that are empowering (or dissempowering) and for whom? does it question or affirm established ideology?"

thats the question.
ps. less swearing the better.
less screamo the better.

Hip to be square- Huey lewis and the news. The only song so anti authority it's anti-anti authority.

 

[Not-That-Bright]

Yea just make shit up, like how at the end it fades out to represent the way the plight of the aboriginal people faded out of the minds of white australia or something.

lmao @ hip to be square.

 

[lessthanthree]

sam cooke - a change is gonna come
anything by phil ochs

 

[Gangels]

I think a good one would be Politician by Cream. I also suggest Radiohead, they present quite a few issues on protest. This may not interest you but there are many musicals out there with very clear protests, such as When Pigs Fly. Or just pick a Hendrix Song or maybe Led Zeppelin E.g Immigrant song, communication Breakdown.

 

[vanush]

what? immigrant song is complete nonsense. it just so happens that LZ's rep has made it some serious mythical thing.

Blowin' in the wind - bob dylan

 

[bazookajoe]

Almost anything by Bob Dylan

 

[Kyle O'Brien]

Public Enemy: Fight the Power, 911 is a Joke
NWA: Fuck the Police
Jimi Hendrix: Machine Gun
Minor Threat: In My Eyes
Bob Dylan: The Hurricane, Maggies Farm

Plus anything by Rage, System of a Down, and there are other PE songs but those two are the main ones.
