What's some good music with a "revolutionary" or "uprising" feel and are actually good? Any genre is fine, it's more about tone and lyrics.
The few I have so far for example are:
Muse - Uprising
Flogging Molly - Revolution
The Beatles - Revolution
Andrew W.K. - Party Hard
Helly Luv - Revolution
The Used - Revolution
(the song names definitely have a trend...)

fuk u wont do what u tell me >:(
>The Beatles - Revolution
This is blatantly anti-revolution though
Flobots - Fight With Tools
You know what, you might be right. I only ever picked up on like, pacifist revolution or something. Not that it was just totally anti-revolution. That was sorta the wildcard of the bunch anyways, the tone doesn't fit much.
it's about revolution, just baby steps revolution that achieves nothing important while condemning real revolution
crass - christ: the album
chumbawamba - pictures of starving children sell records
Do you get some kind of pleasure from this?

Immortal technique :^)
Rise Againts
Appeal To Reason
cba to find a picture

If you like muse, they have some good revolutionary anthems
Take a Bow, Assassin, City of Delusion, Knights of Cydonia, Resistance, Unnatural Selection and Supremacy;
Organized Resistance - Day of the Rope

How old are you?
Björk - declare independence.. goes pretty hard
Turns out the most boring white member of massive Attack is Banksy.
What a shocker.
Most explicitly pro-revolutionary music is made by petit-bourgeois musicias who have no experience with oganized resistance, and tends towards idealized and romantic notions of overcoming which tend more towards inspiring reformist notions than raising revolutionary consciousness. Most genuinely pro-revolutionary music is about oppression and not a promised victory. I know only a few exceptions:
Atari Teenage Riot made str8 up agitprop music:

Chavela Vargas was a great Mexican folk singer who I *think* was a member of the Communist Party of Mexico. Her songs arent necessarily revolutionary but were close to the heart of many younger latin american communists:

(there are a lot of south american revolutionary folk singers if you look, although it can be a little hard to find)
I don't know how serious they were, but CCCP Fideli Alla Linea are pretty clear about their association with the Italian Communist Party (wether they were members of opponents isn't really clear - I don't speak Italian) on their album 'Affinità-divergenze fra il compagno Togliatti e noi' which google translates to 'Similarities and differences between Comrade Togliatti and us'

the Coup namedrop dialectical materialism (along with the line 'masses move as well as asses do'):

A lot of early Industrial bands in the UK had explicit ties with communst parties and, especially, the Miner's struggle. One band heavily involved with the Miner's struggle was Test Dept:

Classical music has a lot of pro-revolutionary music, the most well known are probably Luigi Nono (who hoped atonal music would liberate the tones from their hierarchy!) and if you want really revolutionary music just play Battleship Potemkin:
Tracy Chapman- Talking About a Revolution
The Times They Are a Changin'- Bob Dylan
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised- Gil Scott Heron
The Red Flag- Billy Bragg
This whole album. Every track is a banger, and the lyrics are hella political.
You don't like me you wanna sell me
Nice , I trust this guy the most
bell hooks made an album? wow
Victor Jara
Check out the compilation of Industrial Workersof the World songs called "The Little Red Box of Protest Songs"
The entire genre of anarcho-punk (some of it is a bit lifestyle-y of course)
The two volumes of Black and Proud (Black Panthers inspired soul/funk) and then there's legions of hip-hop inspired by that stuff e.g.Common, Killer Mike's more political tracks, Blacktivist by Flatbush Zombies for a very recent example.
Or just listen to A Las Barricadas youtube.com
Pretty much everything by Phil Ochs.
