Portside
Released 50 years ago, in tumultuous 1968, John Lennon's Revolution is considered one of the greatest rock songs. Despite its driving, almost apocalyptic, guitar riffs it is less a celebration of revolution than a succinct rebuke of nihilism and sectarianism.
This protest song describing the plight of the worker is as apt now as it was when it was written back in the 1940s. The lyrics have been updated but the sentiment is the same.
