Heck, there is no band with more relevant political songs than Rush.

2112/The Temples of Syrinx
Bastille Day
Anthem
The Trees
Something for Nothing
Working Man
Subdivision
Freewill
Manhattan Project
Half the World

Just to name a few. Good stuff.

Neil Peart wrote all the lyrics. He and Geddy Lee were both fans of Ayn Rand. The liner notes for the album “2112” included an acknowledgement to ‘the genius of Ayn Rand” and it drove lefties nuts. I suspect that’s part of the reason they never really got proper recognition. Lefties knew that it wasn’t a lefty band. And the “non conformists” in the music industry can’t have anyone that doesn’t conform. As Rush notes, “Conform or be cast out” (not about the music industry but if the shoe fits..)
