            So, when I was looking for stuff like that, what I found really useful was looking for people who did covers of Which Side Are You On, John Brown’s Body, The Internationale, and Bella Ciao.

            That being said, here’s a list of based artists, or artists who have based shit. Lot of it’s gonna be rap or rock.

            • Pete Seeger
            • Utah Phillips
            • The Nightwatchman - Tom Morello
            • Chumbawumba (On top of just being awesome they have an entire album of old ass English Rebel Songs. Fire.)
            • Dead Pioneers
            • Dead Prez
            • The Coup (Anything Boots Riley does is Fire)
            • Street Sweeper Social Club (Boots Riley and Tom Morello!)
            • Rebel Diaz
            • Dog Park Dissidents
            • Saul Williams
            • Marc Ribot (Check out his songs of resistance album)
            • Bambu
            • Billy Woods
            • Brother Ali
            • Lowkey
            • Modena City Ramblers
            • David Rovics
            • Carsie Blanton

            I thnk I’m tapped out for now. As we got towards the bottom of the list I’m less familiar but they’ve got some decent songs.

            edit: OH!!!

            idk if I’d put Springsteen on the list on his own nowadays, but he does have The Ghost of Tom Joad which is just chefs-kiss. Here he is doing it with Tom Morello https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9f-F1CAB24 I could listen to this on repeat for hours… I have.
