What is your favorite 100% non political "just nice music" music artist?

I'll start. System of a Down.

Recently it seems like some people are JUST NOW realizing that Bring me the horizon is not Christian friendly and I wonder how many other artists can we put into the bag of "Wait, they were political this whole time?"

Chumbawamba! (Am I doing this right?)

"Everybody" knows that song, and thinks of it as a harmless party song. "Nobody" has heard their earlier stuff which alternates between punk and anarchism-pop.

If I remember correctly, they emerged from the blue collar punk scene, and draws a lot of their political views from there.

Nothing special to see or hear in any of the following: their earlier stuff, their later stuff, tracks 2–12 on the same album, the 10,000 word essay in the liner notes, their followup single, etc.

Nothing ever burns down by itself. Every fire needs a little bit of help.
