You Had To Be There

Blowin’ In the Wind
Where have all the flowers gone
I Ain’t Marching Anymore
Universal Soldier
With God On Our Side
One Tin Soldier
The Times They Are A-Changin’
For What It’s Worth
Fortunate Son
Paint It Black
All Along The Watchtower
We Gotta Get Out Of This Place
What’s Going On
War
I Feel Like I’m Fixin’ To Die Rag [NSFW]
Masters of War
Monster

While most of these should be self-evident, some require having been in a different time and place to understand, although I found videos that help with some of it.

I have learned that most people who post on YouTube are more concerned with the video than the audio quality, i.e. that there be video. There are things by Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Odetta, Buffy St. Marie that belong on this list, but the available choices are really bad.  Some things missed the cut because there is a 10 minute limit on YouTube.

I don’t embed them because it really slows down the time it takes to load the site.

If you work around Republicans, almost nothing on this list is safe for work.
