    So, when I was looking for stuff like that, what I found really useful was looking for people who did covers of Which Side Are You On, John Brown's Body, The Internationale, and Bella Ciao.

    That being said, here's a list of based artists, or artists who have based shit. Lot of it's gonna be rap or rock.

    • Pete Seeger
    • Utah Phillips
    • The Nightwatchman - Tom Morello
    • Chumbawumba (On top of just being awesome they have an entire album of old ass English Rebel Songs. Fire.)
    • Dead Pioneers
    • Dead Prez
    • The Coup (Anything Boots Riley does is Fire)
    • Street Sweeper Social Club (Boots Riley and Tom Morello!)
    • Rebel Diaz
    • Dog Park Dissidents
    • Saul Williams
    • Marc Ribot (Check out his songs of resistance album)
    • Bambu
    • Billy Woods
    • Brother Ali
    • Lowkey
    • Modena City Ramblers
    • David Rovics
    • Carsie Blanton

    I thnk I'm tapped out for now. As we got towards the bottom of the list I'm less familiar but they've got some decent songs.

    edit: OH!!!

    idk if I'd put Springsteen on the list on his own nowadays, but he does have The Ghost of Tom Joad which is just chefs-kiss. Here he is doing it with Tom Morello https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9f-F1CAB24 I could listen to this on repeat for hours.... I have.
