  Beastie Boys are also political. They literally fought, and possibly died, for your right to party!

  Beastie Boys had one of the first and best of the anti-Iraq-War songs, I can't think offhand of one that was more "mainstream" at the time and still explicit and specific about it.

  Well I'll be sleeping on your speeches 'til I start to snore
  Cause I won't carry guns for an oil war
  As-Salamu alaikum, wa alaikum as-salam
  Peace to the Middle East peace to Islam

  And so on. It might not have been the best (IMO that is "Empire" by Dar Williams, with haunting sadness, historical scope, and irony), but it was big.

  You may have just pissed off everyone who’s a fan of either of these bands, but you might be on to something here.

      You should see a doctor, or a teleporter chief.

  Maybe Sabotage is similar but I haven’t noticed a lot of similarity overall.
