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
2. Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son
3. Green Day - Holiday
4. Sum 41 - Still Waiting
5. Linkin Park - Hands Held High

Bonus! Greenday performing in Minneapolis a few weeks ago:
