Favorite Political/Anarchist Music?

What are some of your guys (or ladies) favorite political/anarchist music?

This could be discussion of the bands, their lyrics, or recomending them to other people.

Some of my favorite bands are
Against Me
Leftover Crack
Suicide Machines

only to name the ones I've listened to lately, just off the top of my head. What are some of your favorite bands?

I'm sort of newish to a lot of the radical stuff, but some things I've really dug so far.

RATM (of course) Something about funky-ass heavy guitar riffs and pissed-off screaming rapping over it. The chants can be pretty catchy too.

Oi Polloi - Bash the Fash. cool and fairly informative intro for a song, awesome thrashy punk riffs. Sorta riding the edge between punk and thrash metal.

Bob Dylan - Masters of War. Did you ever know an acoustic folk song could sound this pissed off?

Some early sabbath and metallica stuff had some political sentiment before they sold out. War Pigs and And Justice For All... come to mind.
Megadeth has some politicalish stuff. "Kill the King" sure seems relevant sometimes.

Orgasmatron by motorhead, these guys are the fathers of thrash. anti-politician, anti-religion, anti-war tune.

Sooner or later I'd like to get involved in a political band of my own. I play guitar, and mess around on drums and bass.

I'll have to check out some of the bands you listed, my music collection is getting stagnant and I want more political stuff.

That's some good stuff man. I haven't heard of a few of those guys, so I'll check them out.

And I was gonna mention Megadeth, but I decided against it. But that isa good point.

Also, the new Nine Inch Nails CD has a very leftish tone to it.

And I figured I didn't even need to Mention RATM. Haha.

Oh, another good band is Reagan Youth.

I also would add Dead Kennedys, Strike Anywhere, the Causalties, the Avengers, the Screamers, the Germs, the Unseen, ... uh, a bunch more. Too tired to type.
NWA -of course- and my personal favorite, as mentioned, Leftover Crack. Then Choking Victim, Morning Glory, Rancid/Operation Ivy. I'm into a lot of west coast 80's punk...
I just joined a local political band actually. We don't have a name yet but I'm the singer and write most or all the lyrics. We're kinda (not to compare myself to Jello Biafra in any way artistically) Dead Kennedys meets the Screamers (RIP Tomata du Plenty) and a tinge of Bad Brains. Oh yeah -don't forget Bad Brains!

A friend of ours, MadHatterZ, is setting up an Anarchy Music section on his website, 3monkeyz.net

(Click the "Anarchy Music" link up at the top of the site.)

You guys seem to have covered most of the greats (Rage, Against Me, Dead Kennedys, Immortal Technique) but nobody has mentioned Rise Against, One Minute Silence, Pitchshifter, Ministry or the Levellers.

Against Me!, Against All Authority, Bad Religion, Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution, Minor Threat, and Flatfoot 56 are some of my favorite bands, most of you have probably not heard of Flatfoot 56, but they are an Irish Punk band like Dropkick Murphys, but they are Christians however largely Pro-American, but belive in more direct democracy, and are totally tolerant of all religious, pro peace, and tolerant of all races so I like them for tossing things up a bit, I am not pro-american but it's coo they realize that being a political punk band does not mean you have to be a certain way.

How could I forget...

John Lennon
Bob Marley

Plus a shitload of bands from the great K-Town punk/hc scene

Dead Kennedys goes without saying really.

There's a band from Cardiff who I try and see as much as possible called Kilnaboy, Folk Punk sort of thing.

Bloody good lot they are.

if you look around you'll realize theres politics in everything because artists dont just make political music its kind of a mutual thing

Does anyone know any metal bands that are political and would be of interest to an anarchist?

So far I have only found Sacred Reich and the first Rage album...
