When bands go all political on their fans and music?

I've always wondered if there was an album specifically aimed at some kind of STRAIGHT political concept. Not conspiracy theories (i.e. Megadeth's th1rt3en album) or any kind of speculative nonsense. The only one I can really think of off the top of my head is Linkin Park's abortion of an album, "A Thousand Suns."
Obviously there are some out there, but does anybody not just hate it? I will say, and it came out very recent, Parkway Drive's new album totally rocks. But otherwise, does it not immediately turn you off to a band?

American Idiot immediately came to mind.

Pretty much everything by the Cranberries.

I enjoy the left leaning political music. But I know how you feel. When I was young and first realized Merle Haggard was singing about right wing stuff, it kind of threw me.

Neil Young's Living with War is probably the most blatant in recent memory.
I like it, sounds like Crazy Horse in places.

I don't let it bother me when it's in the lyrics of songs. However when you're at a live show and the band gets all political preachy to the audience is really annoying to me, regardless of which way they are leaning.

I don't really care what the artist thinks, and subtle references, jabs, etc. don't bother me, but there is a thin line.
Even if I thought green day didn't suck dick, I could never support stupid shite like American Idiot.

NOFX made The Decline, and The War On Errorism.
