So what music might turn you into a radical activist?

What music would make you a reactionary?

That Paloma Faith warbling on ITV's rugby coverage has almost driven me to a gun toting rage.

Late 80s/early 90s music makes me totally radical, and also a bit wicked.

CFH is that her doing the vocals on the world in union because that's a +1 if so, it drives me nuts!.

Awful.

Beethoven originally gave the title 'Ode to Freedom' expressing his support for republicanism but under pressure he re-named it to 'Ode to Joy' (in the 9th symphony). So that bit of music could have been both.
Police! Police! Arrest that man!

Junior is currently into Rage against the Machine and anarchy. He was communist for a day but I reminded him the communists killed his Polish great grandfather and offered to accompany him to the town hall to sign his "émancipation" papers as our house is a non-communist zone.

For a while in the 80s, a fair amount of stuff happened off the back of anarcho punk bands like Conflict and Crass, and the subculture that surrounded it. The animal liberation, anarchist and anti-fascist movements were closely entwined with the music. Unfortunately I missed out on seeing Conflict in their heyday (too busy listening to metallica in my teens), but Mrs Daz went to a fair few gigs and has stories of lines of riot police and/or BNP/C18 thugs waiting outside gigs for the inevitable post-gig riot.
