Universal Soldier changed the world
100 songs that changed history
Time Out Magazine has just launched a new feature called 100 Songs That Have Changed the World–and Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Universal Soldier" has been included in the list! Inspired (kind of) by Pete Seeger's assertion that, 'The right song at the right time can change history', Time Out assembled a panel of musicians, historians and enthusiasts to debate and collate the 100 songs that have had the most significant impact on real-world events–culturally, socially and politically. 1--‘Fight the Power’ – Public Enemy (1989) 2--‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’ – Band Aid (1984)

I am a great fan of Buffy St. Marie. Even her current material is challenging the forces that be in "Running For The Drum" with one song in particular, "No No Keshagesh". I highly recommend the video!
Pete Seeger was all about changing the world for the worse. He was a strong supporter of the USSR, including Stalin's policies.
