Marka Ragnos Posted April 5 VT Supporter Share Posted April 5 (edited) Hard to know where to start, but this is overall my favorite political song. I won’t claim to be very familiar with the political content of the song, but I know it was on a compilation I had of political songs.

KentVillan Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 (edited) Knowing what we know now about how many innocent black Americans have been murdered by the police, I think a lot of those 90s hip hop tracks resonate This one is particularly poetic Not so much a fan of the crusty middle class socialism brand of political music, it’s all a bit Sean Penn / Angelina Jolie IMO, but always had a soft spot for Masters of War by Bob Dylan (edit: including the Eddie Vedder version just posted by @VILLAMARV) Edited April 5 by KentVillan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, really? Love it or hate it, I'd have thought it was one of the most famous songs in world history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s funny, I only know the story superficially, but from what I’ve read, The Undertones (who I like) were criticised by contemporary Northern Irish bands like Stiff Little Fingers (who I like more) for being apolitical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
