PDAD Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Seems a good time to get a topic going to bridge the gap of the forum's big two topics - Politics and Music. Let's share some lovely politically focused tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been queueing up the protest songs the last hour and Wont get fooled again is on currently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDAD Posted November 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Cant go wrong with Frank. Or Beans on Toast. Two people with hearts very much in the right place! Since your suggestion, i have just listened to Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards and forgot how great old Bill was. Johnny Was next on the queue. Meanwhile, listening to Public Enemy's 2020 rework of Fight the Power. Tremendous stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDAD Posted November 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Ah Prophets of Rage. A big mistake of mine, Boomtown last year. I could have stayed at the Lions Den to see UB40 and then Lauryn Hill, or go to Town Centre to see Salt n Pepa and Prophets of Rage. I gave into stupid peer pressure and stuck with the first option at the Lions Den. UB40 were shit. Lauryn hill couldnt be fucked to show up within an hour of the allotted time. Meanwhile, I've heard that Salt n Pepa were 'wicked mate' and well, I missed this by Prophets of Rage. I digress. How could I forget one of the best songs ever written?

SheffJeff Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Lauren Hills was one of my bigger Glastonbury disappointments, was so excited to see her but she just couldn't be arsed and I gave up within a couple of songs. Have been going down the rap route and never heard this before: ... listening to a sweet bit of Sam Cooke though has now changed my path.

Ayrshire Chris Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Bread and Roses by Joan Baez (and quite a few others). One of my personal favourites, about the struggles of women in the trade union movement and the simple fact that although the fight is for better wages there are other things that are equally important. The things that turn an existence into a life such as health, education, the arts. It was also sung more recently in the film Pride, a film about the unlikely help given to Welsh miners during the strike by a gay activist group from London.
