Can't have this topic without the obvious mention of "99 luftballons". A classic.

My personal favorite is "help is on the way", no contest.

Interested in hearing some others though.

Video for those interested in hearing help is on the way:

Id have to go with Be Glorius, for our Motherland. Im by no means a communist but that song was just so powerful and inspiring to hear, easily my favourite political song and one of my favourite tracks of all time.

Rise Against? Hell yeah, I love that song. Two of my other favorite political message songs are "Writing On The Wall" by Alter Bridge and "Mine" by Disturbed.

If you define anti-Nazi, anti-nationalism, and anti-exploitation as anti-American (with my examples anyways). But that seems like a personal problem if you do.

Another Rise Against


Love this and disparity by design as was posted earlier.

Help is on the way is prob my favorite because it really sums up the hollowness of our promises and the the hopelessness during Katrina.

My all time favorite rise against song that's politically themed but really a different style all together is "behind closed doors". Followed closely by satellite TBH.

I love RA though. Life less frightening, make it stop, give it all, under the knife, the strength to go on, the dirt whispered, paper wings. I could go on lol.

Top 3 favorite bands for sure. Love their shows too, the energy is real.

Definitely mine too. I got to see them with A Day to Remember a while back. They really play the crowd so well.


That had to be a great show, both would work well leading for the other IMO.

I'm debating hitting vegas on the 25th for another of their show but I was just in Vegas for Hockey a few weeks back so idk if I wanna really get out there again lol.
