minus-squareGladiusBlink3•6 months agoLand of Confusion would be another addition. I’m in favor of the Disturbed version. arrow-up13arrow-down10file-textreply1starmore-verticalmailMessageflagCreate ReportslashBlock user
minus-squareAdmiral PatricklinkfedilinkEnglish3•6 months agoExcellent addition. I also prefer the Disturbed cover, but I added both. arrow-up13arrow-down10file-textreply1starmore-verticalmailMessageflagCreate ReportslashBlock user
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•6 months agoMay I suggest “Don’t Let Me Die in America” by of Montreal?

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•6 months agoWhat about The Sound of Silence . I’m partial to Disturbed’s version, but the original by Simon and Garfunkel fits depending on the mood. arrow-up11arrow-down10file-textreply1starmore-verticalmailMessageflagCreate ReportslashBlock user
Should we…make a playlist? I’ll add two more.
Adding the “lost verse” for 'This Land is Your Land":
“One bright sunny morning in the shadow of the steeple, by the relief office I saw my people. As they stood hungry, I stood there wondering if God blessed America for me.”Would be remiss in not including a version of This Land is Your Land that includes the oft-omitted verses.

The Times They Are A-Changin (Bob Dylan) and The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (Gil Scott-Heron) are also classics.

Nice one. Added and included the lost verse.
Rage against the machine - Know your enemy seems relevant. Also maybe Freedom
Fits perfectly. Added!
Can’t believe I forgot this one - South Park did a fantastic job bringing Sixteen Tons into the modern era.

Little Pink Houses. The point in this song is often missed as well.
Good one. Added!
NoFX - The Decline (full version)
Bush-era (same as American Idiot) but shockingly still relevant. Too heavy for this list?

Mezmerize was such a damn good album. Popping that on for the day.
Handlebars by Flobots, White America by Eminem
You should make this a separate thread!
Added!

NOFX is perfect on that list.
What about
The Sound of Silence. I’m partial to Disturbed’s version, but the original by Simon and Garfunkel fits depending on the mood.
