Revolutionary songs

    My favourite songs would have to be the Soviet Anthem, L'Internationale and La Marseillaise due to their strong revolutionary theme. Unfortunatley I've listened to these to death. Anyone have any suggestions?

    P.S. Don't give me something like"Revolution" by the Beatles.

    Do you want music that revolutionised music? Music that went along with a political or social revolution?

    Can't beat Stravinsky for music to **** **** up to;

    After reading much of Stravinsky's Wikipedia page I'm pretty sure that I despise him for his political views. Normally I wouldn't care but this thread (I know I failed to mention this) is for listening to music while reading political pamphlets and the writings of Marx, Rosa Luxemburg, etc. Thanks for adding though.

    So you only want left-wing revolutionary music? :rolleyes:

    Although I don't agree whatsoever with the Falange's views, I admire the gloating humour of this (post-) revolutionary song:

    Okay maybe not revolutionary yet but its early days?
