Also Nobody Speak is RTJ too, but produced by DJ Shadow.

And a good video

Modest Mouse and LCD Sound System too. And a few other indie/electro/rap bands that came out of retirement after 2016.

It’s the billionaire pop artists who aren’t protesting, because they don’t want to risk losing 40% of their Spotify revenue.

Even in the 60s it was Neil Young and only a few others responsible for most of the protests songs. Then there were the Guthrey songs, but they all predated the 60s, and just became relevant at the time. And as a bonus, they (and all the previous protest songs) are relevant now too!
