Hey! What's all the shouting about?

Looking on Spinner.com while writing this post, I found this list of the Top 20 Protest Songs. Review and discuss. As with the lyrics list, you can click here and and listen to the songs. It also list "who" or what the song was rebelling against.

I will say this is a good site, with lots of good lists. Including a "worst lyrics ever," the "saddest songs," the 20 "Killer B-Sides" and lots of others.
