Best/Worst politically-motivated songs
The discussion on the Dixie Chicks made me think of all the politically-motivated music out there. No clue how to define politically-motivated other than I know it when I hear it.
Politically-motivated music I like: Abraham, Martin, & John by Dion Beds are Burning by Midnight Oil Bloody Sunday and In the Name of Love by U2 For What its Worth by Buffalo Springfield Zombie by Cranberries Politically-motivated music that makes me want to remove my eardrums with a fork: What the World Needs Now is Love by frankly I have no idea and don't want to know. |

Nice work Barbara. Very good topic.
Politically motivated songs I like (I dislike the message in most of these songs but I find the tunes catchy): Franco Unamerican- NOFX (they have a bunch more, but I like this one the most) All you can eat- Ben Folds Let them Eat War- Bad Religion My Own Country- Pennywise Imagine and Fiddle and the Drum- A Perfect Circle Hail to the Thief- Radiohead Singin' in Vietnam Talkin' Blues- Johnny Cash Politically motivated songs I don't like: Imagine- John Lennon I'm sure there are others, but I have a special animosity toward hippy music. |

I don't like Imagine either. I can't even say why...I just plain don't. |

I dislike "Imagine" as well. Actually, I like the tune but it's the message I don't like. The world that John Lennon pines for in "Imagine" is a world I certainly don't want to live in. |

Great great song. I also happen to quite like Imagine in all it's cheeseball glory. |
