Edwin Starr, Marvin Gaye, Country Joe and The Fish: Protest Songs and Anthems
Protest songs are anthems for social change, addressing issues like war, civil rights, inequality, and government oppression through music.
Iconic tracks include Bob Dylan’s "Blowin’ in the Wind," Marvin Gaye's "What’s Going On," and Country Joe and The Fish "Fixin To Die Rag," which have historically served as powerful tools for activism.
These songs came out of a time when music spoke against war. They were loud, quiet, angry, hopeful. Listening now, they still have something to say.
And more of us need to say it.
