Songs for today

[Jonti]

Just thought it'd be fun to hear what you knowledgeable people think of as classic roots songs that are especially pertinent in 2008. I'll get the ball rolling with...

...Jackie Bernard's brilliant 'Economic Crisis' (http://www.roots-archives.com/release/2 ... light=3527), produced by LSP...

...and sort of following on from that theme, there's the antidote in Joe Higgs' amazing 'Hard Times Don't Bother Me' (http://www.roots-archives.com/release/9 ... ight=11398).


Any more?

Twinkle Brothers - "your oil runs out" (what you gonna do, when your reserve run out ?)

Bob Marley - Babylon System

"Babylon System is the Vampire...Sucking the children day by day...building church and university...deceiving the people continually..."

Johnny Osbourne -- Mr. Politician

"Me say how do you feel Mr. Politician,
you sitting in your mansion planning our lives away."

[DonBanyan]

Yeah, also from the Twinkle Brothers, "Unemployment" rings true today as well.

"Time hard sir...Talking bout unemployment sir...
Devaluation of the dollar/Make prices get higher..."
