    i'm looking for good *modern* anti-authoritarian, pro labor music.

    (in other words, while the Wobblies are commendable, their hymns are not what I'm seeking right now.)

    any recs?
    (looking at you, the part of the fediverse with vinyl collections you haven't talked about in a while. now is your time to shine.)

        @DeliaChristina Well, Rage Against the Machine comes to mind. So does Public Enemy. And, a lot of Bruce Springsteen’s catalog fits the bill, too.

          Anything by Tom Morello's solo act "The Night Watchman" is pretty good for this.

            @DeliaChristina How recent are you looking for? (This is a rhetorical question, I only have the one suggestion) Chumbawamba is from the 90s but a lot of their music is very anti-authoritarian, like "The Day the Nazi Died" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSqUBwlHld4

              Broadly, post-war 20C onwards?

              Chumbawumba fits.

                @DeliaChristina some favorites from the last decade or two: Billy Bragg, Midnight Oil, Trotsky Icepick, Emmett Doyle, and the Dropkick Murphys.

                      @DeliaChristina Ska-P from Spain have been at it for almost 30 years. In many concerts they invite onto the stage the striking labor union of some cause near the venue.

                          @DeliaChristina Most of Woody Guthrie are classics of this genre, for an excellent cover Dolly Parton sang his "Deportee" amazingly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDfqXkYWzZM

                            This particular Nocturnal Emissions album:
                            https://www.discogs.com/master/26626-Nocturnal-Emissions-Songs-Of-Love-And-Revolution

                            Which is unlike most of their other albums.

                                        @silverwizard @DeliaChristina "Hold Fast, Hold the Line" by this same person won the Labor Notes song writing contest last year and is one of my favorites, though it's imitating traditional labor songs so may not be what you're looking for:

                                          @anne @DeliaChristina To make this more specific, "The Red Album" (both volumes) are probably worth looking into:
