Komomaan Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 So, for English class I have to do this kind of research on protest songs and I want to use your knowledge for it. So, I'm actually asking if you know one or some protest songs. I have a few in mind but I need more and better ones. Any band, any subject (war, anti-racism, peace, politics, global warming and such). Thanks if you'll help me. :]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paint the sky grey Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Have you already thought about 'Sunday, bloody sunday' from U2, what Paramore covered? For me that's a protest song in some way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Komomaan Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Oh my god, thank you very much. I actually have a few these. I can't believe I didn't think of them.
