      If you know any other protest/worker music type stuff similar to this I'm curious.

        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.
