Paulo Nutini. Iron sky..

Released around the same time as the Scottish independence referendum political campaign was afoot.

I'm not sure if Paulo meant it as a political song but up here in Scotland...to me this song resonated with my feelings and general turmoil that had been created by all parties involved in the spin.This referendum tore families apart up here and SHE thinks she can do it all over again...fu#k that.

Roger Waters entire career but ''The Bravery Of Being Out Of Range'' is particularly biting in it's commentary. Does it step on the toes of Black Sabbath's 'War Pigs'? Probably. Given the way our soldiers are used in the Middle east by politicians in London and Washington DC, they are as relevant now as it was when written.

 

[Pedro]

Black Sabbath - War Pigs

Almost anything by the Dead Kennedys

 

[Electro]

Love it or hate it this is by far most funny and lighthearted political song ever, even if you don't agree with it's sentiments.

Almost everything by Billie Bragg.

 

[Lord Fluken]

The Men They Couldn't Hang - The Colours

or

The Men They Couldn't Hang - Ironmasters

 

[macdiddy]

because apparently "Billie Bragg" is dead.
