Politics in Music
 

Music has been a voice for politics throughout history: Bob Dylan, John Lennen, Bob Marley and many other artists have used their music as a form of expression for their political views.
Do you think that the maintream success and publicity of political music is dependent on its genre ?
In relation to Muse, as an alternative band, do you think their political songs do not have as much mainstream success as M.I.A or U2?

this is research for my media coursework. i'm new to the site and i'm just trying to get a head start. i'm sure it wouldn't make much of a difference if there's multiple threads on your search results, but either way, i'll make sure not to do that again.

anyway, if anyone has any worthwhile opinions on the subject, it would be greatly appreciated :) thankyouu

FYI: I'm locking this thread due to the obnoxious PM you just sent me. Don't start another one.
