emotional folk
so null vote
Yeah you missed folk which was probably the original musical vehicle for modern leftism. But truth be told there can be no one form of music that does it best.
Anything? Does it really matter, and most leftist music sucks anyways.
true about the folk thing, but about there being no good leftist music, i think you're completely wrong. there is some great leftis music out there.check out the great lyrics thing. so many great bands have leftist messages in their lyrics.
Yeah but they aren't really lefties are they, they might be left of centre but they aren't communists by any strech of the imagination.
Metal/rock sometimes punk
anyone heard Deify by disturbed yet?
I voted rap/urban, although I like quite alot of different genres. Rap makes up most of my collection, but I also have the likes of Rage Against The Machine, Damian Marley, Snow Patrol, James Blunt and quite alot of dance music.
So I have a pretty varied taste. One of the only things I don't like is the thing which most people have voted for so far, punk.
I added folk, hope you don't mind...
Pop. I would really like Ayumi Hamasaki to do a cover of "Fuck tha Police".

So what music do you approve of oh great one?
Blue Grass.
Then the coal company came, with the world's largest shovel,
And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land.
Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken.
Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man.
And Daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg county,
Down by the Green River, where Paradise lay.
"Well I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in askin'."
"Mr. Peabody's coal train has hauled it away."

That is saying that communists cannot be musical. I strongly disagree. Am I relagated to merely left of the centre when I write music?
I really don't think that the genre matters, as you can have great leftist songs in practically any genre, but i voted for hip-hop (listed as rap/urban)- because of it's fire and energy, closely followed by reggae.
Potentially the most powerful would be pop, as it is heard more by the masses. Punk tends to have a more political message than most genres though, but I voted folk as its where it all started - working men's music about the life they live.
