I just saw that mentioned on bingo. Great group and singer .

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

Rage against the machine.

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 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

Last but not least, is the brilliant song...by Jimi Hendrix. (All along the watchtower) That song gives me goosebumps it's that good!

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.

Where have all the good writers gone? Long time passing. We have very little talent around these days. We have had protesting around the world over issues like climate, wars, and COVID, but where are the songs to match the issues of the age? The younger generation of writers have little imagination and talent. Decades ago, they had it in abundance. The baby boomers had a almost embarassing level of pure talent. Today... the younger writers prefer to write ...cheap, boring, dull, poorly constructed music and lyrics. Yes, where has all the good music gone, I wonder?Edited 05-Aug-22 18:18pm

(Where have all the flowers gone) Some old song, Peter, Paul, and Mary.

Someone should do a subject topic on funny or rude songs. Lol

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

For black protesting. There was a song called,( people get ready) And a Australian Aboriginal song, ( Treaty yeah)

I don't protest so have no favourite songs

( I will survive) Gloria Gaynor

It would seem protesting has a long and meaningful history.

(Anarchy) by the British band, the sex pistols. Was an interesting song.

If you're American, (Born in the USA) Bruce the boss, Springsteen.

Sunday bloody Sunday. U2, Irish rebellion.

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

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.

Great question ! Midnight Oil . Beds are Burning.

Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell. It is still relevant today and maybe more so with overpopulation of our cities and the removal of open spaces.

I found this lol...No more Lockdown- Van Morrison

Revolution by the Beatles

War

Gil Scott Heron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.

Anything of Lynryd Skynrd; Free Bird, Tuesdays Gone, Simple Man, etc.

I agree with Michele K In the ghetto by Elvis Presley.

Zombie by the Cranberries and one that hasn't been mentioned that I also love is Blue Sky Mine by Midnight Oil.

In the ghetto elvis presley

The Times they are A'changing...Bob Dylan

'Imagine" - John Lennon. In my opinion, one of the most beautiful and meaningful songs.

Universal soldier

I am woman by Helen Reddy

For what it's worth by Buffalo Springfield.

Strange Fruit by Billie Holiday which is quite harrowing and Shipbuilding by Elvis Costello (sung by Robert Wyatt) about the Falklands

Sound of silence by Simon and Garfunkel.

By the rivers of Babylon by Brent Dowe, backround by Boney M

Eve of Destruction by Barry McGuire

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

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

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

That song is a beauty. Not sure of the origins of the song. But was sang by a man...named...Joe Jackson. Called, Real men; That songs old, but a song that makes perfect sense and resonated with me somewhat. It's a song that every male should listen to at least once. And women too. A very thought provoking song. I think it's a song that makes you think. A song about what you are and who you identify as. Probably more revelatory today than ever ! The song being rather controversial as it opens up the question of what it means to be male in modern times. Some gays were offended by some of the words. For the time...it would of been seen as putting some people down. Others would of seen it as being rather brave. I doubt it would get airplay to day... if it was released in these PC times. That's why censorship should never suppress musical talent, as some songs are like works of art. The fitting together, and the blending of words, makes a song special.Edited 05-Aug-22 00:58am

Take your mind back, I don't know when, sometime when it always seem to be us and them. Girls that wore pink, and boys that wore blue. Boys that always grew up better men than me and you. What's a man now, what's a man mean, is he rough or he rugged or is he cultural or clean. And so on;

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

You're the Voice - John Farnham

Where are the climate change songs? You would think they would be writing climate destruction-- songs... galore.. by now! The lefties are always protesting in the streets and on social media, so where's the TALENT ALL GONE? Even oldie ...Bob Dylan... isn't into it any more. The answer my friends is blowing in the wind, the answer is blowing in the wind!

What makes you think we all have one? We are not living in the 1960s.
