Protest music

Anyone who's against it needs to get shot. It's what helps bring about progress in society, and musically-speaking it's an easy way to find a lot of amazing gems from non-English countries.

that right there is the pinnacle of the genre. Everything else seems so boring and contrived

I do. But are there any good ones these days? All the great ones I know are from Germany, America and England from the 60's to 80's

The early groups and artists that didn't take it too far and stayed professional, just like the album you posted.

If you have a message to convey, than don't let it take an expense of the quality of the music.

I like the idea of protest music, but most of it is fucking awful.
Dylan is one of the very few who put out a lot of quality protest music
