I’ll start. System of a Down.
Recently it seems like some people are JUST NOW realizing that Bring me the horizon is not Christian friendly and I wonder how many other artists can we put into the bag of “Wait, they were political this whole time?”
Wait. You said “non political music” (as if that were a thing) and then you say SoaD???! Please read their lyrics. They are full of politics. From war protests to the Armenian genocide to anti-science and pseudo-science weirdness.
Music is always political.

What did you think the babies were running from, comrade?

I’d put Willie Nelson in there, in large part because a lot of country listeners are right-wing and completely oblivious.
Todd Edwards. His way of using vocal samples is absolutely amazing and many of his tracks give off this groovy dreamlike vibe which I really love!
Some of my faves:
Tuff Jam - Need Good Love ( Todd Edwards Dub)
Phoenix - If I Ever Feel Better (Todd Edwards Dub Better Mix)
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Damnit Christopher, why you gotta be all misogynist?
WHY. DO. THEY ALWAYS SEND THE POOR. (Repeat a dozen or so times)
Sorry but no way they are non political. That’s just one example from a more well known song. Haven’t they publicly spoken on the Armenian genocide, too? If you need to separate your art from your politics, perhaps you should re review your politics. It’s inherent in most aspects of life.

Garbage (Shirley Manson’s band)
Nope nothing political here
Gotta love how so many MAGAites are bopping to Rage Against the Machine, without realizing that they themselves are part of the most vile and extreme version of the machine. They just latched on to the “fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me” from “Killing in the Name” without that single grain of self awareness necessary to connect the only two dots there are.

Are these liberals in the room with us now?
He’s the one who likes all our pretty songs
And he likes to sing along
And he likes to shoot his gun
But he knows not what it means
And I say ‘yeah’I always thought it was “To be in love” instead of “and I say ‘yeah’” until now. I never really understood that lyric, which is kinda ironic.
Unrelated to this thread, but that chorus is among my favorite duets. Dave and Kurts voices mesh so incredibly well.
And I do like shooting guns… wait…
He’s the one you guys ^

Why are you on a Communist platform?

We are aware rednecks and Nazis exist.
We’re also aware we defeated you the first two times and we’ll defeat you again if we need to. 🤷♂️
You aren’t spreading anything, nobody on this platform legitimately wants Trump, and you aren’t going to convince a bunch of leftists to vote for Trump.
“Uhhhh ‘the machine’ is clearly Big Woke that’s trying to make us all gay trans Muslims. It’s like you don’t know anything 🙄”
That’s their deluded way of stealing the song. Real eyes realize real lies
Tay Zonday. Totally singing about non-political wholesome chocolate rains.
The only thing funnier than people thinking Pink Floyd is apolitical is people thinking The Wall was right-wing.
Also met a strange amount of republicans who like Rise Against. When I was first getting into them I saw someone say they turned out to be fash, so I asked for more info and it turned out it was because they said they didn’t want racists, misogynists, or homophobes at their concerts.
Daron Malakian and the Scars on Broadway
Chumbawamba! (Am I doing this right?)
“Everybody” knows that song, and thinks of it as a harmless party song. “Nobody” has heard their earlier stuff which alternates between punk and anarchism-pop.
If I remember correctly, they emerged from the blue collar punk scene, and draws a lot of their political views from there.
Nothing special to see or hear in any of the following: their earlier stuff, their later stuff, tracks 2–12 on the same album, the 10,000 word essay in the liner notes, their followup single, etc.
Nothing ever burns down by itself. Every fire needs a little bit of help.
The day the Nazi died is a great song
