FILE - Pharrell Williams attends the world premiere of "The Black Godfather," in Los Angeles on June 3, 2019. Dozens of artists have objected to Donald Trump using their music in his two presidential campaigns. Williams sent a cease-and-desist letter after his song Happy" was played at a Trump rally in 2018. He was especially angered that the event was hours after a mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue. (Photo by Mark Von Holden/Invision/AP, File)

(Photo by Mark Von Holden/Invision/AP, File)From classic American rockers to British artists to the estates of late legends, here's a look at some of the musicians who have objected to Donald Trump using their songs at campaign events. JOHN FOGERTY, PHIL COLLINS, BRUCE SPRINGSTEENSome classic rockers say not only do they oppose Trump using their music, the choice of songs is ironic or downright wrong. Eddy Grant sued Trump in September over the use of his 1980s hit โ€œElectric Avenueโ€ in a Trump campaign animated video that mocked his opponent Joe Biden.

Young, Fogerty and Collins are among several musicians who are objecting to their songs being used at President Donald Trump's campaign rallies. The Trump campaign can hardly play a song without the artist denouncing its use and sending a cease-and-desist letter. โ€œI did not write it for that.โ€That feeling that they've been drafted onto Team Trump clearly fuels many artists' anger. โ€œItโ€™s not a great look for the artists, if their music is aligned with something seen as unsafe,โ€ Kaufman said. โ€œCourts have recognized that that could be an implied endorsement.โ€The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
