Did the Clash write anything that wasn't a protest song :?:
They're my favorite protest band of all time, but I've grown to old for protest now. I still love their songs just for the music.
Now when I think of protest my moto is a hundred years from now it wont mean anything. Protest is for the young, life will beat it out of you if you live long enough.

Good one!
What about "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by The Beatles?
"Revolution", the Beatles
"Imagine", John Lennon
"Bring on the Lucie (Freeda People)", Lennon
"Ohio", Neil Young
"Let's Impeach the President", Young
Well we all shine on--like the moon and the stars and the sun.
-- John Lennon
Somehow I missed this first time around.....
Very surprised no-one's mentioned "Working Class Hero" by Lennon - or Gimme Some Truth.....
Waiting for the Man - Lou Reed & the Velvet Underground....also "Heroin"....
Jungleland - Bruce Springsteen
Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2
Piggies - The Beatles
Highwire - Rolling Stones
Allentown - Billy Joel
Good Morning Britain - Aztec Camera
and an obscure one from the punk era - "Back in the DHSS" by Half Man, Half Biscuit....for non-Brits, the DHSS (Department Of Health and Social Security) was where the unemployed went to sign on for their weekly unemployment benefit....
Of course, as previously mentioned, Dylan and the Clash are virtually sub-genres of their own.......but "Subterranean Homesick Blues" and "This is England" deserve a mention.
:D :D :D
