The Protest Song: Psalms of Dissent

What does it sound like when music refuses to stay silent? Join AC for a deep dive into the evolution of the protest anthem, right here on Musicology. In this episode, we trace a lineage of dissent across the decades, exploring five iconic tracks. We start with the 1960s working-class grit of CCR, explode into the raw fury of Rage Against the Machine, hit the high-octane political critique of Green Day, feel the urgent frustration of Sum 41, and finally settle into the haunting spoken-word poetry of Linkin Park. We explore how these artists used their voices to challenge the world around them, and why that still matters. The Lineup: 1. Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name [https://youtu.be/bWXazVhlyxQ?si=u5gk6bn766jDhSAe] 2. Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son [https://youtu.be/ZWijx_AgPiA?si=ltWpVA_3zIfNz2kb] 3. Green Day - Holiday [https://youtu.be/A1OqtIqzScI?si=8Y9W5vBu3VHnmhlP] 4. Sum 41 - Still Waiting [https://youtu.be/qO-mSLxih-c?si=_OjOtS5OahscfP2v&t=62] 5. Linkin Park - Hands Held High [https://youtu.be/gG4P3ayBzVY?si=5vTbRF-SndRGpHJV] Bonus!
