On October 12, 2018, the New York Times published an article by Lodon Wainwright III titled Them's Fightin' Words: 10 Great Protest Songs. He wisely didn't say "10 greatest protest songs," so he's my kinda guy. His list (not necessarily in order of anything in particular): - We Shall Overcome
- The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll (Dylan)
- We Will All Go Together When We Go (Tom Lehrer)
- Little Boxes (Malvina Reynolds)
- Okie from Muskogee
- My Old Man (Ewan MacColl)
- Arthur McBride
- If It Were Up to Me (Cheryl Wheeler)
- Don't Call Me Buckwheat (Garland Jeffreys)
- America the Beautiful (Katharine Lee Bates)
