favorite political or social commentary song
lindsey's songs with social or political commentary - some of it completely in-your-face clear (One Take!), some of it not so much (Treason?):
Murrow Turning Over In His Grave One Take Peacekeeper Red Rover Seeds We Sow That's How We Do It In L.A. Time Bomb Town Treason What's The World Coming To Wrong whatever you like about the song - the lyrics, the message, the music, the whole combination and package... which one is your favorite among these relatively rare general social commentary songs by lindsey? |

I know i'll be in the minority but Treason, always been one of my absolute favs. The melody, the lyrics. Perfection to me.

i have to say, i really love lindsey when he ventures in the social commentary territory. however great some of his love, anti-love, personal growth and angry songs are, i like my musicians to get out of their little personal cocoon and take a look at the world around them at least from time to time. although can't decide yet, this is my breakdown of these songs:

I'm going with the oddball vote - That's How We Do It In L.A. was always one of my favorite things on Law & Order.
Runners up: Peacekeeper (for the lyrics), One Take, Murrow. |

I could have voted for quite a few of these - but plumped for WTWCT

it was between One Take and Red Rover for me... and possibly Peacekeeper b/c of lyrics and my love for solo fast version... or SWS b/c of my love for electric version especially that melodic guitar outro. maybe Murrow...
so i decided to go for One Take... partly b/c i don't think it will get many votes. |

Hard to choose between One Take, Wrong and Time Bomb Town.

Holy cow!! These polls are killing me! This is not easy, I love so many of these songs!!
Murrow Turning Over In His Grave - LOVE this so much. The lyrics, the music, the whole big song. One Take - To this day, I smile when he gets to the guitar solo on this one...every time. Peacekeeper - LOVE the original from bootleg GOS. All other versions pale greatly. Red Rover - Geez, I LOVE this song. The Soundstage version is so good, and the video of him doing this at sound-check is one of my favorite Lindsey moments. Seeds We Sow - This video, from Pattie. Sublime. And unlike Elle, the ta ta tas have completely grown on me. LOVE everything about this song ( even more so live ) That's How We Do It In L.A. - eh. Time Bomb Town - eh. Treason - LOVE this. Lyrics are beautiful. Music and harmoies are gorgeous. What's The World Coming To - I LOVE the Live in Boston version... really great. Wrong - What's not to LOVE? Great song from a great album, and certainly fits the poll criteria! -------------------

I went with Wrong. That was the first solo Lindsey song I ever heard and though it was sooo strange. What the @#$% am I listening to?
Now it holds a special place in my heart...

I'm not sure how "Wrong" is a political/social commentary song. It seems to be a revenge song directed at one individual in particular.
It belongs under the music/career category. |

Wrong may or may not fit not just in personal career/music category, but also songs about (or directed at?) certain people in his life - like Bwana, DOR, Miranda, Johnny Stew, etc - a poll that we have yet to assemble. also, disregard Wrong if it bothers you and don't hesitate to vote for the song you like and think fits well in this particular poll! |

Murrow and Red Rover in the lead so far, with all other songs packed closely behind...

It had to be Murrow. The mass-Lindsey chorus, the weird guitar in the bridges and then - THE SOLO. I know ChilliD considers it to be exactly the same as ISA (and it is certainly a close sibling) but there's just something about the tone, the delay, the timing of it all that makes it possibly my favourite Lindsey rock guitar solo. That solo just sounds pissed off at the world, whereas ISA is more mournful.
Red Rover could have been a second pick because it's sometimes my all time favourite Lindsey song but I don't see it so much as a social or political song. To be honest, I'm not 100% sure what I think it's about. |
