Originally a Patreon-exclusive, this series is now free for everyone—because these songs need to be heard.
In Part 2 of The Top 80 Protest Songs of the 80s, we continue counting down the tracks that challenged the system, spoke truth to power, and left a lasting impact.
From Tracy Chapman and Public Enemy to Paul McCartney and the Dead Kennedys, these songs tackled the biggest issues of the decade—with lyrics that still resonate today.
