Black Holocaust by Locksmith



Am I penalising this song for a self-congratulatory "woah" at the end? possibly. But it doesn't do much for me as a song even though the lyrics are good at points.

I'm really sorry to do this but I've realised the problem with doing this mostly off the cuff... I've got about 4 songs that I cannot order and all need a couple of relistens but it's almost 2am and I'm falling asleep, so I will resume tomorrow. (you waited months, what's another day, right?)

God I like pretty much every song from here on out and there's really not a huge distance between 7th and 2nd, it makes it hard. But here goes.

B.Y.O.B. by System of a Down



This is pure nostalgia for me. Loved SOAD as a teen as I watched Michael Moore films and protested the Iraq war. This is definitely a fun song that I haven't listened to in over a decade.

All You Fascists by Billy Bragg & Wilco

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyjNRmSPVMM

This is a protest anthem. I can see this playing at a protest, or maybe before hand to hype you up. Its very uncomplicated, but all you fascists are bound to lose.

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised by Gil Scott-Heron



This is a classic song that I had heard of but never listened to before. It's a great bit of early rap/poetry that still rings true today. The revolution will not be televised.

Really enjoyable punk song, full of energy and some great guitar riffs.

The youtube link that was provided didn't work for me but instead of delaying the reveal further I went and found another youtube of the song. Apologies if it's an inferior verson of the song but it is the offical video.

Schüsse in die Luft by Kraftklub



It's in german so I don't know what they are talking about but this is really enjoyable. Some kind of indie rock/pop/rap fusion that works.

Talk That by Rival



One thing I love about UK hip hop is massive booming beats and this has one big one that really drives this song. I can feel the anger behind this one. I really like this.

Black Boys on Mopeds by Sinéad O'Connor



I didn't think I'd hear such a beautiful song in this category and have it still be a cateogory fit, but this is that. I didn't know Sinéad O'Connor outside of Nothing Compares 2U but her voice here is awesome.
