The hell? "Fight the Power" isn't on that list? Or, really, anything by Public Enemy?
That's tough to believe.

I like all the songs on the list; offhand, one I'd add is Edwin Starr's "War."

"Rednecks," Randy Newman. "Last night I saw Lester Maddox on a TV show...." Good Old Boys is a great concept album.

Mississippi Goddamn by Nina Simone makes Public Enemy sound like Barry Manilow.

I guess all those songs by the Clash were metaphors for personal relationships, or something.

Jet Pilot - Son Volt (Bush specific, but good)
Fortunate Son - CCR
