Righteous Anger

Rock and R&B have an extraordinary ability to convey strong feelings, including anger.  That being the case, these genres have been part of many protest movements.

Ergo the list below: my nominations for the top ten protest songs of all time.  They're listed in ascending order, from #10 to #1.

1. What About Me  (Quicksilver Messenger Service)
2. I'd Like to Save the World  (10 Years After)
3. Run Through the Jungle  (Creedence Clearwater Revival)
4. Revolution  (The Beatles)
5. Give Peace a Chance  (The Beatles)
6. A Change is Going to Come  (Sam Cooke)
7. Turn the Page  (Bob Seeger and the Silver Bullet Band)
8. Taking It to the Streets  (The Doobie Brothers)
9. Fortunate Son  (Creedence Clearwater Revivial)
10. I Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die  (Country Joe and the Fish)

That last is, in this schmoochkie's opinion, the absolute definitive, quintessential, superlative, and all that stuff protest song of all times.  Incredibly effective ...
