He's imagining how wonderful the world would be without religion.

Do the songs have to actually mention political things to qualify? Because I have always subscribed to the theory that the best anti-war music from the Viet Nam era was pretty much anything by Hendrix, even though he never actually mentioned the war in the songs.

Nobody included Falco's "Cowboys & Indians"? Sheesh!
"Cowboys . . . Cowboys and Indians Russia and the U.S.A." Also, I agree that "Paint It, Black" is one of the best songs ever.

Cool song from one of my favorite albums as a youth: Sting Hope the Russians love their children too.

Yes, Russians is a very good song. Sting's protest of nuclear arms through music was a good example of how to do it. Today's musicians could learn that singing, rather than screaming into a microphone at a concert, is a more effective way to get the message out to everyone, rather than just those who agree with them.

Most everything by Rage Against the Machine.
Marvin Gaye "What's Going on and Mercy, Mercy Me" Are two of my favorites. My least favorite political song is "Sweet Home Alabama" which sides with George Wallace and Richard Nixon. I still hate this song even though it causes my wife and daughter to dissolve into tears because they miss Bama so bad. |
