now:
Immortal Technique - "Philosophy of Poverty" and "Cause of Death" (warning - he has sick political lyrics, but he falls for some of the same misogynistic and homophobic bs as other artists)

but the protest music from the 60's was better, especially in the sense of being much more prominent. Or maybe we just remember it better?

and most political protest music these days comes out of hip-hop, there's a good place to look.

Immortal Technique has a song called "Bin Laden" as well, which directly says in the hook "Bush knocked down the towers." Good song.

and I totally agree that hip hop is the place you should look for music on any contemporary subject these days.

Steve Earle: "The Revolution Starts...Now" The title cut, plus "Rich Man's War"

John Trudell: came out against Gulf War I; he also had a song called "Rich Man's War", and the rockinest protest song of the 90's "Bombs Over Baghdad".
