Why The Left Rocks

The left and right disagree on most things but the one area where i confidently feel the left knocks the right into a cocked hat is musically.
The entire hippy philosophy of the 60s was a left wing movement, likewise the punk movement of the 70's and it's grown up sibling of the 90's Grunge.
On the left we are proud to be represented by the likes of Bob Dylan, U2, Carter USM, The Beatles, Nirvana, Guns N Roses, Tom Petty, REM, Green Day, Nirvana/Foo Fighters, The Clash and Morrissey amongst others.
Guns n Roses 'Civil War' is still the tip of my best personal antiwar chart (I also rate Slash as the best guitarist ever which always causes controversy) and Use Your Illusions has been in my cars sound system for way to long.
I assumed I just liked Punk because it was fast and energetic and sounded good with it's three minute riffs but I guess as almost all Punk had an ideological message behind it, it could have seeped into my young brain on some level but I have come across reports and surveys that show that people associating themselves with certain political identities were more likely to have a liking for a certain genre of music with only Country being liked by people with a right wing outlook but if you walk around in Snakeskin boots and wearing a Stetson hat and a massive belt buckle then you obviously don't care too much about what people think of your political, musical or fashion sense.
To be honest you can't swing a cat without hitting songs espousing left-wing ideals that oppose various current political regimes, reject war or call for equality to assorted oppressed groups but even with the thickest of rose-coloured glasses the right wing tune-smiths can't extract an acceptable amount of lyrics from their ideology or put together three minutes worth of song about right wing luminaries such as Margaret Thatcher, Donald Trump or Hitler, mainly because lyrics about smaller Government, free markets and less immigration is not a toe-tapper.
As for the right, all i could find for them was Rod Stewart, Phil Collins, Destiny's Child, Eric Clapton and the social commentary of rap music.
I am sure that there are some i have forgotten (Henri Rollins, Sex Pistols, System Of A Down) and some i have tried to forget (George Michael), but looking at the list, i would definitely say that as well as ideologically and morally, musically the left rocks!!
