Firstly - which one in UB40 is Ali ? I never liked UB40 very much and still don't . The Specials I liked , Madness were a pretty good singles band , but UB40 I didn't like .
Politics in music has been around a long time , I think it probably came to the fore in punk( Dylan did it long before punk though to name but one ) and continued with ska . The Clash , well , though I was a punk and loved most punk music ....The Clash didn't do it for me beyond their second album , politically I would rate The Jam as sharper and musically as well .
I notice there aren't many politically aware bands these days though .....is it that current generations aren't bothered ?

Well, let's face it, he asked for this........The Sewer The Sewer wrote:
It, to me was far stronger than anything The Clash ever said.
Anyway, just thought I'd let you know that - I know some will gun me down for talking about The Clash like that - But fuck it -
Any last requests Mr Sewer the Sewer
Not even a final fag
Fair enough
Let's roll
He had it comin'

Some of their early stuff ain't bad - The Labour of Love albums are not to be sniffed at really - not my cup of tea but I wouldn't knock someone for been into them. I had a bootleg live cassette of theirs from an early gig and it was ok
