It's been 90 years since Joe Hill was murdered by the state of Utah.

What's your favourite labour song?

the preacher and the slave

Preacher and the Slave, The Internationale, Solidarity Forever, The Popular Wobbly, Banks of Marble, and so on. Everything on the IWW Rebel Voices album is great.

my favorite joe hill song would be either rebel girl or the preacher and the slave.

"Banks of Marble" is in my top three for sure. "Which Side are You on?" is there as well. I guess the third one would be "Preacher & the Slave", but I can't seem to find a non-Utah Phillips version without a break in the middle of saong to say "Joe Hill was executed on November 19, 1915 by the State of Utah for writing songs like these."

hmmm....."which side are you on?", "tom joad" (if you count that as a labour song), and "banks of marble" are all up there. also, you can't argue with the clash's "career opportunities" and "janie jones." not the same kind of labour song, but still.......

'Popular Wobbly', also the 'pie in the sky' one, and 'Working Man' by Rush. 'Wicked World' by Black Sabbath (first album) is pretty good.
