"The Ongoing History of Protest Music
100 Best Protest Songs of All Time
by CJ Baker
'I recorded a reaction video when Rolling Stone posted its list of the 100 best protest songs of all time. I decided to go one step further and create my list (also made a video discussing the top 25). Often, I present lists on this site as either alphabetical or chronological, but I’m going full music nerd with a ranked list. Also, trying to do the impossible by taking an objective approach to what is inherently a subjective endeavor.
To determine the best songs, I used the following criteria:
1) Messaging – How effectively does the song convey its intended message? Does it offer a fresh perspective on an important topic?
2) Cultural/Political Impact – Is the song closely associated with social movements? Is it often performed or chanted at protest rallies? Has it achieved mainstream ubiquity?
3) Musical Influence – Was the song used as a jumping off point for other artists to build upon? Did the song inspire other songwriters to compose their own protest anthems?
Every song on this list performed well with at least one of the criteria (some did well in all three). Also had a max of three songs per artist, which is probably the reason why your favorite Bob Dylan protest song was excluded. Some of my write-ups have also been repurposed from what I have previously written.
Also, feel free to check out the 100 Song playlist. Just as a note, because it wasn’t available on Spotify, I replaced Body Count’s Cop Killer' with Bill Withers’ 'I Can’t Write Left-Handed'.'"

This is my new favourite tune.
Peechkka just knows exactly how to express the feminine rage. She's a lyrical master.

A #Microtonal #MusicTheory question: is there any research or experimentation about scales in 53-ET? For instance, here is a 13-note #scale in 53-ET (notes 0 to 52, 0 is tonic):
a=0 b=4 c=9 d=13 e=18 f=22 g=25 h=28 i=31 j=35 k=40 l=44 m=49 (a=53)
The differences, in steps, between notes, are 4 5 4 5 4 3 3 3 4 5 4 5 4, nicely symmetric.
How many nice-sounding #chords can be found in this scale? If one is allowed to bend some of the notes one or two steps (up or down), which other nice-sounding chords can be found?
Is there a site where I can assign arbitrary frequences to computer keyboard keys (53-ET if possible), and play some #tunes?
