[Qwerty Dvorak]

umm... have you ever heard rage against the machine?

[Nothing Human Is Alien]

It's fairly simple, it about the content.

If they sing/rap/talk from a leftist perspective, it's leftist music.

[FatFreeMilk]

Yeah so there can be conservative music. Have you seen those crazy nazi twins? That's an example of the extreme right making music.

[I'm the red under your bed]

i got into politics for one reason
That reason is that rage against the machine opened my eyes to the world.I owe alot to that band,i know it sounds sad, but its true.

Until they sold out.

[Punk Rocker]

Rage has always been communist to the core, they might have used corporations to get their music out, but they never conformed at all, they never sold out.

They were really the leaders of rap-metal, after they retired other rap-metal bands like papa roach dropped rapping.

and Johnny Rebel, Skrewdriver and any band on resistance records...

[robortion]

I suggest Rx Bandits.

[that1guy435]

Every heard System of a Down? They're just about the most leftist band still popular today.

[symtoms_of_humanity]

Yes the conservative music is commonly called R.AC.(Rock Against Communism), it was started by Oi! bands like skrewdriver. but on the same hand skinheads have RASH and SHARP (Red and Anarchist SkinHeads)(SkinHeads Aganinst Racial Prejuduce), I like the bands Comrade and the RedSkins(good RASH oi!)

but some common R.A.C. are skrewdriver,angry arayans, blue eyed devils, Max Resist, Bound for Glory

This should help you:

List of Protest Songs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_protest_songs)

start listening to these songs for their meaning and you'll see why.

Republican Country band who made a Pop Punk song called "Bush Was Right" they tried to get it on MTV.

Good for either a really good laugh, or just getting pissed off at republicans.

The Clash

The Manic Street Preachers

Check out bands lyrics and stuff, google search.

[gewehr_3]

Try John Lennon

[BattleOfTheCowshed]

Rage Against the Machine and The Clash were just about as influential as any political literature in helping me develop my political thought.

[Red Power!!!]

All the shitty country my grampa listens to is pro-american shit shit.... shit.

I wouldn't think of it as sounding sad, I'm sure most people here can say the same thing. It played a very big part in my getting into politics as well. That was the whole point of the music.
