Should we....make a playlist? I'll add two more.

  1. Green Day - American Idiot
  2. CCR - Fortunate Son
  3. Woodie Guthrie - This Land is Your Land (via @MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net -- updated to different version with the "lost" verse)
  4. System of a Down - Prison Song (BYOB is a close second)
  5. Descendants - 'Merican (Added from @MermaidsGarden@lemmy.world's suggestion.)
  6. John Mellencamp - Little Pink Houses (via @jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org)
  7. Stone Sour - Come What(ever)
  8. Avenged Sevenfold - Blinded in Chains (last two via @clearedtoland@lemmy.world)
  9. Flobots - Handlebars (via @fireweed@lemmy.world)
  10. NOFX - Idiots are Taking Over (via @HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world)
  11. Rage Against the Machine - Know Your Enemy (via @middlemanSI@lemmy.world)
  12. Disturbed - Land of Confusion | Genesis - Land of Confusion (via @GladiusB@lemmy.world)

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.”

Little Pink Houses. The point in this song is often missed as well.

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 3 points 1 week ago

Good one. Added!

Would be remiss in not including a version of This Land is Your Land that includes the oft-omitted verses.

This version seems to have all of the verses. Sweet!

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.

[-] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 week ago

Can't believe I forgot this one - South Park did a fantastic job bringing Sixteen Tons into the modern era.

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 2 points 1 week ago

That is a good one. I may save that for my Labor Day playlist.

[-] middlemanSI@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Rage against the machine - Know your enemy seems relevant. Also maybe Freedom

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 2 points 1 week ago

Fits perfectly. Added!

  1. Come What(ever) May by Stone Sour
  2. Blinded in Chains by Avenged Sevenfold

Bush-era (same as American Idiot) but shockingly still relevant. Too heavy for this list?

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 2 points 1 week ago

Not at all; it's the messages that are important. I mean, I already put SOAD on there, so... lol

[-] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Mezmerize was such a damn good album. Popping that on for the day.

I thought about that, but I don't know if it'll maintain inertia. Hopefully people see a lot of comments in this post and decide to chime in.

Perhaps I can put the result into a Spotify playlist and post that afterwards?

[-] GladiusB@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Land of Confusion would be another addition. I'm in favor of the Disturbed version.

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 3 points 1 week ago

Excellent addition. I also prefer the Disturbed cover, but I added both.

[-] assembly@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

NOFX is perfect on that list.

[-] cleanandsunny@literature.cafe 2 points 1 week ago

May I suggest “Don’t Let Me Die in America” by of Montreal? (Confusingly, an American band)

Also “Sunset on 32nd Street” by Strike Anywhere - although you could pull any track off that whole album and it would work.

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.
