Answer:

All of the above

Some of the famous protest songs by those musical artists were:

"Blowin' in the Wind" by Bob Dylan. Although Dylan himself said, "This ain't no protest song" when he first introduced it in 1962, his song became an anthem of anti-war protest, with lines like:

  • Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
  • Before they're forever banned?
  • ... Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
  • That too many people have died?
  • The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
  • The answer is blowin' in the wind

"Ohio," written by Neil Young, and performed by the band he was part of, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. The song protested the shootings of war protesters at Kent State University that left four students dead.

"Feels Like I'm Fixin' to Die," by Country Joe and the Fish, is sometimes simply referred to as "The Vietnam Song," with a chorus that repeated,

  • And it’s 1, 2, 3 what are we fighting for?
  • Don’t ask me, I don’t give a d***, next stop is Vietnam.
