Comment:

Ok, so last summer I came up with the great idea to collect all the protest songs that I found and put them in a CD collection. Well, it turned out to be quite an ordeal - lots of research and downloading aplenty. Anyway, this is the fruits of that labor. If I were doing it now, I would fix it up some (especially disc 4 - it's messy and not up to date any more!) but eh, it looks pretty good still. Disc Four takes us up to last summer, and gets messy near the end IMHO.

Good series. I'm actually trying to hook up a research project about politics in music. These are good starting points. You've inspired me!

Neat idea! I love the Radiohead choice. How is it a protest song?
