There was a recent suspension of political threads from the think tank after many complaints, but as politics can be integral to the art of music, and arts generally, I would be reluctant to close this down.  If it gets rude, then it will be closed. I would just ask people if they participate not to make it about their own politics but to be more factually talking about it from the perspective of Prog.  Obviously the usual rules of decorum apply, including laying off on personal attacks on fellow members as well as others who might get mentioned such as Roger Waters (whom I met under embarrassing circumstances).  This thread will be monitored closely if it keeps going.  Please try to stay on topic and try to keep YOUR politics (particularly when disparaging of others) and any possible insults to yourself.

Henry Cow (and its members), related News of Babel and Art Bears, Robert Wyatt, and principles of Rock in Opposition are some obvious leftist ones. 

The first album I would think of is Art Bears, The World as it Is Today.

Here is the first track, The Song of Investment Capital Overseas.
