Revolutionary Act » baby I’m an anarchist http://revolutionaryact.org "In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act" - George Orwell Sat, 02 Oct 2010 02:59:30 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Top 10 Revolutionary Songs http://revolutionaryact.org/2008/11/top-10-revolutionary-songs/ http://revolutionaryact.org/2008/11/top-10-revolutionary-songs/#comments Tue, 11 Nov 2008 17:54:33 +0000 Jeff Napolitano http://revolutionaryact.org/?p=413 Taking a break from the recent election madness, I’ve decided to dedicate a post to an entirely different subject (almost) : music.  So I ask the question: What are the top 10 (unranked – that’s just too difficult) political songs in recent history?  And I’m not talking about “of all time” – I’m looking for recent (within the last decade) of songwriting (So “Las Barricadas” from the Spanish Civil War and all your favorite Dylan songs don’t count)

I’ll leave readers to suggest the other 7, but I think deserving to be in at least three spots are the following:

(1 of 10)
The Nightwatchman (Tom Morello), “Road I Must Travel”:


(2 of 10)
Against Me!, “Baby, I’m an Anarchist”:

(3 of 10)
Immortal Technique, “Point of No Return”:

Others? State Radio’s “Gang of Thieves”? Dead Prez’s “Hip Hop”? If you’ve got a suggestion, leave it in the comments.
