Dream Evil - The Book of Heavy Metal (Sweden, 2004)...
Bruce Springsteen - Born in the U.S.A. (youtu.be)
Too often this song is seen as an unwavering patriotic song, which to me indicates that people aren't paying attention to all the lyrics. This song is about the country forcing the poor and downtrodden to go to war on behalf of people they will never meet and then expected to, somehow, return to normal. When understood in it's...
Brother Ali - Mourning in America (youtu.be)
Killer Mike - Reagan (youtu.be)
Dropkick Murphys - Ten Times More (youtu.be)
Gil Scott-Heron - Revolution Will Not Be Televised (youtu.be)
This is another legendary classic. Seeing the protest crackdowns on college students had me thinking about this song for the last few days.

System Of A Down - Boom! (youtu.be)
Watching this video (probably 15 years ago) was the moment I realised I was left wing.

Direct Action - Utah Phillips (youtu.be)
This is one of my favorites. Utah was a huge fan of this idea he called "the long memory". The long memory is the idea that as long as we know where our movement comes from, we'll have the knowledge to combat both new and old tactics meant to divide us. This song describes the true story of labor conditions and direct action in...
Rage Against The Machine - Guerrilla Radio (youtu.be)
Haven't seen any RATM in this community yet. But i feel like basicly all their songs would fit here.
Pete Seeger -Which Side are You On? (youtu.be)
This is a legendary classic, covered by dozens of leftist artists. While I prefer studio recordings generally, hearing an entire crowd singing this song gives so much more weight to it. I also really like this (admittedly it's mostly a meme) edit with rifle fire to really drive home that we would not have our labor rights today...
The Death of Harry Simms - Pete Seeger (youtu.be)
Harry Simms was an organizer for the NMU, a communist union that had been organizing in Harlan county, Kentucky during the events of Bloody Harlan. In fact his death, as described in this song, reignited militant labor into more violent action against the capitalists. Eventually the UMW won the hearts and minds of the workers...
Pink Floyd - Welcome to the Machine (youtu.be)
I suppose I'm cheating a bit by posting Pink, but their leftist messages are popular for a reason!
