The Summer edition of Under the Radar released a Protest Issue dedicated to intersection of Music & Politics. In that issue they released a list of the Top 10 Protest Songs of the 21st Century. I thought with the election a few months away, now would be the perfect time to post these. I'm going to break it up and post two at a time.
10. Bruce Springsteen - 'How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live':
Number 10 on the list is Bruce Springsteen's version of 'How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live'. Of course, Bruce being Bruce, he can explain the meaning behind this song much better than I can.
9. Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings - 'What If We All Stopped Paying Taxes':
The 9th best protest song of the 21st Century is Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings with 'What If We All Stopped Paying Taxes'. Once again, the lyrics really speak for themselves, but try hard to ignore the annoying animation that was added to this perfectly fine live video.
