}}Protest Songs is the fourth studio album by English pop band Prefab Sprout. Recorded in 1985, it was released by Kitchenware Records and CBS in 1989. According to the liner notes of the album, "Protest Songs was originally to be released in December 1985 and chronologically belongs between Steve McQueen and From Langley Park to Memphis." It peaked at No. 18 on the UK Albums Chart.^[2]

Critical reception

AllMusic critic Jason Ankeny gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying: "It's a wonderful record, but perhaps too close in sound and spirit to Steve McQueen for comfort".^[1] He added: "By no means a lost masterpiece, it's still an essential piece of the puzzle."^[1]
