Today sees the fifth instalment of 1,000 Songs Everyone Must Hear, our week-long series of supplements free with your copy of the Guardian and the Observer.
Some may argue that songs can't change anything. Others may argue that the history of rock'n'roll is one great howl of provocation that broke down racial and sexual barriers and gave voice to the marginalised and dispossessed. Our list includes songs that deal with sex, poverty, war and much more; some are campaigning songs like Give Peace a Chance, some are anti-establishment songs like Fight the Power, some are rousing calls to arms like Say It Loud – I'm Black and I'm Proud, and some, like the Internationale, have been passed from generation to generation.
But some of you may wish to protest yourself, about a song we've omitted. List below the songs you think we should have included – and we'll put the ones with the highest number of recommendations in our final chart: Readers recommend ... Songs we forgot.
