I'm making a mix cd. Suggestions?

I'm making a mix cd to send to the Crawford folks along with a card/letter.

I'm leaning toward popular/traditional protest songs, but it doesn't have to be that at all.
Here's what's on my little list so far:

Otis Redding--A Change is Gonna Come
Billy Bragg & Wilco--not sure which song yet
Rolling Stones--not sure which song yet
Marvin Gaye--What's Going On
Johnny Cash--not sure which song yet


I'm just getting all my cd's/records together now so there's plenty of time to put in your two cents if you want to. We've got a decent library of stuff here (the boyfriend's a music nerd/band guy/dj) so suggest away, we just might have it.

Thanks
