minus-squareMelodiousFunk@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up29·6 months ago American Idiot by Green Day has become my new, traditional Independence Day music. …I’m old. cranks up Fortunate Son some extra boring dystopia for your day Also, what in the everloving AI fuck is this nonsense 🤦♂️
minus-squareAdmiral Patrick@dubvee.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up34·edit-26 months agoShould we…make a playlist? I’ll add two more. Green Day - American Idiot CCR - Fortunate Son Woodie Guthrie - This Land is Your Land (via @MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net – updated to different version with the “lost” verse) System of a Down - Prison Song (BYOB is a close second) Descendants - 'Merican (Added from @MermaidsGarden@lemmy.world’s suggestion.) John Mellencamp - Little Pink Houses (via @jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org) Stone Sour - Come What(ever) Avenged Sevenfold - Blinded in Chains (last two via @clearedtoland@lemmy.world) Flobots - Handlebars (via @fireweed@lemmy.world) NOFX - Idiots are Taking Over (via @HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world) Rage Against the Machine - Know Your Enemy (via @middlemanSI@lemmy.world) Disturbed - Land of Confusion | Genesis - Land of Confusion (via @GladiusB@lemmy.world) Adding the “lost verse” for 'This Land is Your Land": “One bright sunny morning in the shadow of the steeple, by the relief office I saw my people. As they stood hungry, I stood there wondering if God blessed America for me.”
minus-squaremiddlemanSI@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·6 months agoRage against the machine - Know your enemy seems relevant. Also maybe Freedom
minus-squareAdmiral Patrick@dubvee.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 months agoFits perfectly. Added!
minus-squareMelodiousFunk@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-26 months agoWould be remiss in not including a version of This Land is Your Land that includes the oft-omitted verses. This version seems to have all of the verses. Sweet! The Times They Are A-Changin (Bob Dylan) and The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (Gil Scott-Heron) are also classics. *edited to add links @ptz@dubvee.org
minus-squareAdmiral Patrick@dubvee.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 months agoNice one. Added and included the lost verse.
minus-squarejawa21@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up4·6 months agoLittle Pink Houses. The point in this song is often missed as well.
minus-squareMelodiousFunk@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·6 months agoCan’t believe I forgot this one - South Park did a fantastic job bringing Sixteen Tons into the modern era.
minus-squareAdmiral Patrick@dubvee.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 months agoThat is a good one. I may save that for my Labor Day playlist.
minus-squareHootinNHollerin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·6 months agoNoFX - The Decline (full version)
minus-squareclearedtoland@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·6 months ago Come What(ever) May by Stone Sour Blinded in Chains by Avenged Sevenfold Bush-era (same as American Idiot) but shockingly still relevant. Too heavy for this list?
minus-squareAdmiral Patrick@dubvee.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 months agoNot at all; it’s the messages that are important. I mean, I already put SOAD on there, so… lol
minus-squareclearedtoland@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 months agoMezmerize was such a damn good album. Popping that on for the day.
minus-squarefireweed@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-26 months agoHandlebars by Flobots, White America by Eminem You should make this a separate thread!
minus-squareAdmiral Patrick@dubvee.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-26 months agoI thought about that, but I don’t know if it’ll maintain inertia. Hopefully people see a lot of comments in this post and decide to chime in. Perhaps I can put the result into a Spotify playlist and post that afterwards?
minus-squareGladiusB@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·6 months agoLand of Confusion would be another addition. I’m in favor of the Disturbed version.
minus-squareAdmiral Patrick@dubvee.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·6 months agoExcellent addition. I also prefer the Disturbed cover, but I added both.
minus-squarecleanandsunny@literature.cafelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 months agoMay I suggest “Don’t Let Me Die in America” by of Montreal? (Confusingly, an American band) Also “Sunset on 32nd Street” by Strike Anywhere - although you could pull any track off that whole album and it would work.
minus-squaresend_me_your_ink@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 months agoWhat about The Sound of Silence . I’m partial to Disturbed’s version, but the original by Simon and Garfunkel fits depending on the mood.

minus-squareLEDZeppelin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·6 months agoThey play fortunate son at Trump rallies without a shred of irony
