We’re still taking submissions, but early returns indicate strong support, among scores of Nation readers, for five seminal songs vying for consideration for the top slot: Woody Guthrie’s "This Land is Your Land," Florence Reese’s "Which Side Are You On," Bob Dylan’s "Masters of War" and "Blowin’ in the Wind" and Pete Seeger’s "Where Have All the Flowers Gone." 

All timeless classics and deservedly so. Our friend Cindy Samuels of Care2 surveyed her Care2.com/Causes community and sent us a terrific Care2 readers’ ranked top five, including many ties.
