Three fantastic songs that talk about revolution in some way or another. Which one do you prefer? I'm very undecided; all fantastic songs

One for the Vine for me, though I really like revolution too.

Beatles. All three are great though.
I once made a 60 minute mixed tape I called "Revolution". I used to jog to it, it was a great tape. It's wasn't all about Revolution per se, but each song had a similar "screw the system" vibe. One of the centerpieces was the Chambers Brothers' full length version of "Time Has Come Today". I believe "Sister Ray" was in there too.

Hard poll!
One For the Vine, although a great song, is my least favorite out of all of these. Won't Get Fooled Again is an incredible song, a signature example of the Who style, and one I enjoy more every time I hear it. It's probably my favorite now, but...The Beatles' "Revolution" was the song that introduced me to rock music and ignited a love for music in me that changed my life completely. I'll go with "Revolution." |

"Won't Get Fooled Again", although the single version of "Revolution" is a close second (never liked the lethargic album version). "One for the Vine" bores me to tears.

One for the vine is my favourite out of those three songs, but not so much for its revolutionary theme's.
Won't get fooled again is THE best revolution song ever, imo.. 
Well, out of those I've heard anyway... |

I never really thought of One for the Vine as a revolutionary song. I always thought it was Tony Banks' own little capsule version of Apocalypse Now.

I always thought of it as more about religion than revolution, probably because of the water and wine references.

I'll go with "Won't Get Fooled Again", even though Townshend called it "the stupidest song I ever wrote".

I used to love "Won't Get Fooled Again" but since it became the theme song of CSI it has started to get a bit on my nerves
 Revolution is nice but I will vote for One For The Vine.

Saddened that "The Knife" isn't on there.
Oh well. Going with "Won't Get Fooled Again". |

I always thought of One for the Vine as being more of a personal song about a man who leaves a system he thinks is bad, starts a revolt and ends up realizing he's become exactly what he left behind. But when I think of a revolution song, I think of the kind people would be chanting out in the streets as they stormed the bastille, and I'm not sure that One for the Vine would suit that. The Knife though maybe.
I would've picked Volunteers by Jefferson Airplane over the ones mentioned. |

haha I also thought oft the Airplane going into this thread, mainly cause whenever i think of any sort of 'revolution song' the first thing i hear in my head is that classic 'got to have a revolution, have a revolution!" line. I also feel like there should be a good amount of Bob Dylan and Doors songs that would also fit this. Does All Along The Watchtower count?
