They have their fingers upon the pulse of the nation and the throb of the world.” And if that sounds like a bloated or hyped statement, it’s not. On the contrary, it may even be an understatement. Since its inception rock has, as often as not, been a forum for political, social and cultural expression, and consciously satirically-inclined bands have always been around. Many rock bands use their music as a vehicle for spreading ideas and to motivate their audiences toward political, social and cultural change.
