Like you said CCR's Fortune Son is a blood boiler, it's a crime the song is so short

Born in the USA gots to be in the top 3

And I'd give RATM Killing In The Name over Filter since it's a passionate protest song and Hey Man Nice Shot is just about a political event that happened

[Norcaliblunt]

War Pigs - Black Sabbath

[NumberSix]

Musicians tend to not have very in depth political views.

I forgot to add RATM to the list.
Take the power back is an amazing song also.

Music is subjective, but this song by NIN strikes me as having a political message.

This first one is different from the rest in that it's much softer, but it's the most powerful song to me. Frankly, it can fvck me up if I'm in an unprepared state.

Capital G - a song by NIN raking Bush over the fire. Not the best song, but I had never heard an unmasked political song like this before. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOBknCabjvs

too many to list from Rise Against, but some good ones:

Help is on the Way is a song about the fvckery that we allowed to happen in the N.O. flood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHiqGqoIGII


Prayer of the Refugee - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-SQGOYOjxs


Finally, from my personal favorite band, Chevelle, a couple about humanity shitting on the environment and a couple songs about identifying the grift -

Jars - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtvfoRq-55g

and Debt to the Earth - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qBfdh4CHeg

Glimpse of the Con - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK2ukK-8auo

Punchline - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJJp53PrDjo

That album that Filter released Hey Man Nice Shot on was one of my favorite albums ever and I was excited to have a new metal band at a time when rock was dying. Those mf'ers burned me hard by selling out in record time (1 f'n album?) by changing their style to some horseshit pop rock garbage that makes me salty to this day.

Good topic. Made me reminisce. All favorites. No way I could pick one.
