I developed a college course on protest music a couple of years ago-if you can be more specific about subject/period/genre, I can point you towards more than a thousand protest songs. Feel free to email.

I agree with deedee07...RATM is the best way to go. ADDENDUM: I can't believe I'm even saying this, but "Mosh" by Eminem is a good one if you're protesting against our lovely president.
