Answer 1

Try looking at lyrics or listening to a guy named Phil Ochs. (pronounced: oaks)

I aint marchin anymore
the draft dodger rag
cops of the world.

are a few song titles......

he wrote many many other songs. His words are as true today as they were when he wrote them.

I think this is the kind of stuff you are looking for.
also check out (and you can hear it on the web) Barry Mcguire's "Eve Of Destruction":
" Eastern world- it is explodin, violence flarin, bullets loadin'
your old enough to kill but not for votin'
ya dont beleive in war whats that gun yer totin'?
even the Jordan River has bodies floatin' ..."

A 60s classic and still pertainant.

Answer 2

I like most songs from the sixties. I have a lot of them on my ipod for my dad.
Some of them are:
Plastic Fantastic Lover2:33Jefferson AirplaneSurrealistic PillowRock

Summertime4:00Janis JoplinJanis Joplin's Greatest HitsRock

Green Tamborine2:18Status QuoThe Technicolor Dreams of the Status Quo - The Complete '60s RecordingsRock

Somebody to Love2:54Jefferson AirplaneSurrealistic PillowRock


There are lots more, I just don't feel like copying them.

Answer 3

If 6 were 9-The Jimi Hendrix Experience,It's Alright Ma,I'm Only Bleeding-Bob Dylan,For What It's Worth-The Buffalo Springfield,Woodstock-Joni Mitchell,Ohio-C,S,N&Y, Machinegun-Band Of Gypsies.These songs speak to me.

Answer 4

Bob Dylan songs really spoke to the generation they poeticly expressed opinions and appealed to a vast amount of people. The Times They are a-changing is a song that really speaks about the generation.

Answer 5

You know pretty much the entire 60s rock movement had something to say about society. Jimmy Hendrix, The Doors, Arlo Guthrie, Andy Warhol. Look into them. They aren't even the tip of the iceberg.

Answer 6

revolution by the beatles

a song for richard and his friends by chicago

anything by bob dylan

Answer 7

I DON'T REMEMBER ANY SONGS ABOUT SOCIETY, THEY WERE ALL ABOUT LOVE AND LOVE AND LOVE
