Oh Yeah, Bad Religion for sure - They are the daddies in my eyes. Rage Against The Machine, Sick of it All (Their name says it all!), Agnostic Front ("Gulliani Gulliani Gulliani fuck you Gulliani Gulliani Gulliani fuck you.........Die!" - to the point!) Fugazi (although I've always found it's the music I dig more than lyrical content)...... For a folkier sound, I can't agree more that Masters of War is the top dog. Has anyone heard the Pearl Jam version? I think it was only on a bootleg. I'm not really a fan of them (subjected to them by my brothers) but it sent shivers down my spine. Any local "protest writers"? I cringe when using that title after seeing that Bob Dylan Documentary recently.... I wouldn't dare attempt it given my lack of political understanding (and basic lack of songwriting ability!).
