I'm glad to discover this one, which I'll add to the Political Prog thread. Smile

I decided to go for two, as I have done in the other two polls of the series, but it's very tough. Let's say Get 'Em Out By Friday and Epitaph.

ELP, Genesis, Crimson and Marillion. Of those I only see Marillion as overtly political, diving into the horrid mire of Irish nationalistic politics that has divided that country for many years.
