Top 20 punk protest songs listed

Top 20 punk protest songs listed

July 5, 2012 // Riot Fest

We took the day off yesterday to celebrate America by blowing up a small part of it, but Pop Matters apparently didn’t. They posted a list of the top twenty punk protest songs, which you can check out here. This being a ranked list it’s sure to cause some arguments, so go at it!

20 – 7 Seconds – Fuck Your Amerika
19 – Decry – American Way
18 – Christ On Parade – America The Myth
17 – Scream – U. Suck A & American Justice
16 – Reagan Youth – U.S.A.
15 – Pennywise – God Save The USA
14 – NOFX – We Call It America “And others”
13 – Green Day – American Idiot
12 – Anti-Flag – The Bright Lights of America
11 – TSOL – American
10 – Strike Anywhere – Sedition
09 – Adolescents – Lockdown America
08 – MDC – America’s So Straight
07 – Ramones – Planet Earth 1988
06 – Husker Du – In A Free Land
05 – The Freeze – American Town
04 – D.O.A. – America The Beautiful
03 – Articles of Faith – American Dreams
02 – Bad Religion – You Are (The Government)
01 – The Avengers – The American In Me

Again, this list was put together by Pop Matters.
