Not a protest song but sad to hear Judith Durham from the Seekers has just passed away..RIP

There are several I like but from memory Helen Reddy’s “I Am Woman” is right up there.

where is the love by the black-eyed peas and fergie

I am woman

you do not have to live like a reuge tom petty

I don't really have one. But I like many songs from Peter, Paul, & Mary. They have many songs that resemble protest songs.

I have never really cared for protest songs and prefer to do my protesting in person. Right now I'm busy protesting about the treatment of our aged citizens locked in very under staffed nursing homes. I wrote to my state member first but he said it wasn't his problem so I then wrote to my federal member. He has forwarded my complaints onto the minister concerned. So far all I am hearing is about zero carbon emissions which isn't helping a single person in aged care. If there is no movement from the minister I will go to the media. It has been more than two and a half years now, how much longer must they remain prisoners? I'd much rather pound the keyboard than sing about it.

I just enjoy mudic

they were just nineteen

Pink Flloyd's The Wall.

I’ve many just cannot name them. Others did a lot of them. I don’t care that some of them have a crack on big business, if they sing from their heart, from people’ heart.

Not sure if its a protest song, Helen Reddy's I am Woman

girls just want to have fun is one of my favorites

Blowin' In The Wind

Just read this news and it's a great song: Pink Floyd have reunited to record their first new material in 28 years, a protest song against the Ukraine war. Hey Hey, Rise Up! features David Gilmour and Nick Mason alongside long-time Floyd bassist Guy Pratt and Nitin Sawhney on keyboards.

IT IS NOT A SONG BUT WHEN WE MARCH WE SING AT THE TOP OF OUR VOICE WHAT DO WE WANT and we say what we want. Does that sound go ON in all city's in Australia, YES . That's Life People. D Ponch

I don't protest so have no favourite songs

It would seem protesting has a long and meaningful history.

My Way

Buffalo Springfield - "For What it's Worth"

Can't forget "Talkin' bout a revolution' by Tracy Chapman

Let It Be by the Beatles and Imagine by John Lennon. I don't really have a favourite though, most are extremely good and I enjoy listening to them.

In the Name of Love. U2

I agree. Music from the heart speaks louder than any protest.

Why does everything have to be about Protesting? Why do so many so-called "singers" simply do nothing but scream un-intelligible garbage? What is wrong with Real Music with Real words all of which you can remember? OK, so you can't sing in tune but who cares at least you enjoy what you are doing.Edited 05-Aug-22 12:14pm

Eve of destruction by Barry McGuire. Way things are going in the world we could be history. With 3 nutters ready to nuke the world.

What's going on by Marvin Gaye. Love it.

What's going on by Marvin Gaye is an icon. With a great meaning!!!!!

Beds are burning by Midnight Oil is a pretty good one.

War,,, is an absolutely wonderful song!!!!

Music is a very strong means of expressing feelings. And a song can hit a different spot for different people and sometimes at different times.

War,what is it good for, absolutely nothing.

I like the song called Touch by Omarion.

1, 2, 3 what are we fighting or

'And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda'

Don't believe the hype.....by Public Enemy...it is more relevant now then when it was written ....don't worry about long haired hippies in the 1960s...protest songs should be about current problems...our main problem is that there are not enough of them... Edited 05-Aug-22 02:02am

"War" by Edwin Starr. Also, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" by Gil Scott-Heron.
