Brian Ferry is supposedly a nostalgic Tory.

Brian Eno - whom I consider a musical genius - sadly has a political alignment that is more Hamas than Labour.

Really? I thought most of his electronica was sort of the music version of pop art. I tried to like Side 2 of the Eno influenced Heroes album by Bowie ... couldn't do it. Side 2 of Low was okay after repeated exposure, at least "Waszawa".

Eno also tied himself closely to Devo, early on, and they were (and are) pretty much a schtick novelty band with some weirdly creative videos.

His Island records material is depressing and not particularly deep. I had not had a chance to hear his collaborations with Fripp (Music for Sports), but I suspect I am not missing much.
