UGH! "Pave over paradise and put in a parking lot." HOW TRITE CAN YOU GET!
Much as I love Simon and Garfunkel, their first album includes two of the most insipid protest songs ever written, "He Was My Brother" and "The Sun is Burning."
One of my favorite Dylan songs is not so much a protest song (contrary to what some of his admirers say) but about the APOCALPSE, "A Hard Rain is Gonna Fall." They should play that song in Church whenever they quote the book of revelations.
S & G wrote some incredibly cheesy songs, those being but two. As for Dylan's Hard Rain, it's a masterpiece.
