11.13.23 | Wasn't Ian Curtis a Tory? |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.13.23 | Oooh was he?
Don't know if he catered to tories though - we're going for music for tories, not by tories here (or else the list would be a lot longer lol). don't think JD has the same stooge appeal as these others |
ffs
11.13.23 | prob like ed sheeran or anything they think will endear voters to them, tory reptiles listen to music in the same capacity that they support football teams |
Egarran
11.13.23 | Leave Mike Oldfield alone. He was just an autist on LSD. |

11.13.23 | Winston Aubrey Aladar deBalkan Marshall was born in Wandsworth, London, on 20 December 1987,[1][a] to Sir Paul Marshall, a British tycoon and co-founder of the Marshall Wace hedge fund, and Sabina de Balkany,[4] from a genteel European Jewish family.[5] He has a sister, singer/songwriter Giovanna.[6] His mother is French,[7] and his maternal grandmother was property tycoon Molly de Balkany,[8] one of the first female property developers in France;[9] Marshall's maternal great-uncle was the billionaire developer and collector Robert Zellinger de Balkany [fr].[10][11] Through Robert's marriages, Marshall's great-aunts include Genevieve François-Poncet, daughter of André François-Poncet, and Princess Maria Gabriella of Savoy.[12][13] Molly and Robert were the children of Hungarian-Romanian businessman Aladar Zellinger, with the family relocating to France after World War II;[13] they added "de Balkany" to the name upon arrival in France.[14] Marshall has said that thirteen members of his family "were murdered in [...] the Holocaust", and that his maternal grandmother was a survivor.[5][15] Marshall was educated at St Paul's School, an independent school in London.[16] In 2010, The Guardian wrote that "there's [nothing] inherently wrong with musicians being privately educated. It's just a bit grating when one of them insists on going by the name "Country" Winston Marshall".[17] |
Mort.
11.13.23 | Marshall is interested in the books of the Canadian professor of psychology Jordan Peterson, and invited Peterson to Mumford & Sons' studio in 2018, with Peterson sharing a photograph of them together on social media. When asked about his involvement with Peterson, who has been a controversial figure, Marshall told CBC Radio: "I don't think [Peterson's] psychology is controversial, but the quasi-political stuff... I think it's a conversation we're having a little bit as a band and, do we want to get into the political stuff?"[134] Later in 2018, Marshall told NME that he "[thinks] everyone should read widely. If you read something, work out who's got the opposite opinion and read that guy so you can form your own ideas."[84] In the same interview, both Marshall and Mumford opined that musicians should not talk about politics, and said that they did not like being asked about politics, with Marshall telling the magazine:[84]
I have a little bit of frustration with the politicising of music. I don't mind when artists are political, but I think politics is fucking complicated. It's different from three years ago when we were doing promo for Wilder Mind – we weren't ever asked about politics. People didn't care, but now everyone's got a fucking opinion. Everything is, "Politics this, politics that". It's a massive change.
On 7 July 2022 he was a guest on the BBC's political programme Question Time, discussing the resignation of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson which had been announced that day.[135]
moron country. who the fuck let him on question time lol |

Have a word with yourself. |
DadKungFu
11.13.23 | Rage Against The Machine is classic hilarious conservative stooge music in the states not sure about the UK |
ffs
11.13.23 | yeah morissey isn't a tory, he's much more right wing |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.13.23 | Van Morrison is also more right-wing nutjob than corporate stooge, but I could easily see half the frontbench lounging out to Astral Weeks so will add him
Think the only major presence RATM have had in the UK in the last however many years was when they were sent to Christmas #1 in protest against the X Factor in 2009 - our political branding tends to be a lot less aggro |
ShadowRemains
11.13.23 | mumford and sons fucking suck |
Mort.
11.13.23 | yeah genuinely dogshit trite band |
GhandhiLion
11.13.23 | Sigh No More is a pretty good album :) |

Mort.
11.13.23 | “We were playing a festival in Dublin the other week.There was this other group, like, warming up in the next sort of chalet, and they were terrible. I said, ‘Shut them c***s up!’ And they were still warming up, so I threw a bottle at them."
-Mark E smith on Mumford and Sons
also damn really surprised by how many votes their first album has here, expected them to have a couple hundred at most. guessing im forgetting how horrendously popular and ubiquitous they were
im still occasionally plagued by nightmares from when Kings of Leon were on the radio all day every day |
Mort.
11.13.23 | 'Sigh No More is a pretty good album :)'
you have it 2.5d you fucking donkey |
GhandhiLion
11.13.23 | Funny quote yeah |

11.13.23 | pls noooooo i hate that song |
GhandhiLion
11.13.23 | Someone like YOU would say that |
sonictheplumber
11.13.23 | over here theres not really such a thing, anything thats more than 20 years old has its share of conservatives in the audience
its not uncommon to encounter some 50 year old saying something like "remember when punk didnt care about politics?" |
Mort.
11.13.23 | 'Someone like YOU would say that'
OOOH WOOOOAH OOOOOH WOOOOOAH |
GhandhiLion
11.13.23 | Damn that Only by the Night album was really big. Forgot about this song.
https://youtu.be/uT4mJCyydCE?si=Kn8O3DpIHMzWFuTQ |
sonictheplumber
11.13.23 | theres also the fact that you have to be some financial investment firm douche fucker nowadays to even afford a show beyond silentpotato DJing at the toronto oyster bar
half or more of the crowd at paul mccartney, U2, elton john, springsteen, neil young, bob dylan most legacy acts, will lean conservative |

11.13.23 | we should also do a neoliberal music thread - talking heads, radiohead, hmm coldplay perhaps. pearl jam? like you see a bumper sticker that says "BLUE NO MATTER WHO" and you can just barely make out 1979 by smashing pumpkins as you pass them for going 50 in a 60 |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.13.23 | macca (who does need to be on this list twice), springsteen, elton john and bob dylan were glaring omissions thank you |
GhandhiLion
11.13.23 | Define neoliberal. |
DadKungFu
11.13.23 | Almost definitely using it wrong |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.13.23 | "we should also do a neoliberal music thread - talking heads, radiohead, hmm coldplay perhaps. pearl jam? like you see a bumper sticker that says "BLUE NO MATTER WHO" and you can just barely make out 1979 by smashing pumpkins as you pass them for going 50 in a 60"
lol yes the Neoliberalism Is Kinda Working Okay For Me list needs to happen, but that's less of a corporate demographic. needs Arcade Fire, Bjork, a heap of shoegaze, the Beach Boys and everything Steven Wilson |
DoofDoof
11.13.23 | At least we get to complain about Labour for the next few years as the Tories are done - and complain we all will because the country is broke and the same centrist policies are going to derp just like the existing ones.
This country is less likely to have a populist like Trump get in, Corbyn got nowhere and Suella just got kicked to the kerb. There’s about a 10% difference between any electable politician in the UK, it’s not something to get excited about really. |
sonictheplumber
11.13.23 | neoliberalism where im at in america basically just means "everything thats happened since the mid 70s/early 80s"
obviously regular ass people are just liberals but i like to call them neolibs from time to time because theyre like "noooo! i only support imperialism when a democrat is in office, im a good guy!!!" |
neekafat
11.13.23 | Lmao I had just read an article are yall ok over there? |
sonictheplumber
11.13.23 | what happened in australia? trump? |
sonictheplumber
11.13.23 | also arent most kate bush fans actually gay? |
neekafat
11.13.23 | Not since Stranger things misinterpreted a song about gender |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.13.23 | "also arent most kate bush fans actually gay?"
aren't most Tory MPs who get laid off for sex offences |
GhandhiLion
11.13.23 | Johhny do you like Babes in Toyland? |
Sinternet
11.13.23 | my conservative father's personal idol is kate bush so take that as you will, i guess she has always denied any kind of support for the conservative party
missing a few of the yuppy 80s lot who loved early thatcher like gary numan and such, although i imagine most grew up out of that in later years |

11.13.23 | Only found out Truss got rolled this February, initially being utterly perplexed why I was reading so much about Sunak in this guardian magazine (...) I picked up at Berlin (...) airport, and anyway that is the kind of political detachment that should be aspired to. Now I've returned to being UpToDate and Online I'm significantly more miserable |

Conservative Military Image - Casual Violence |
Kompys2000
11.14.23 | Haven't been keeping tabs on much across the pond since Truss got the axe, but 2 PMs ousted inside of 2 months? Can only imagine the field day the commentariat have had |

11.14.23 | piss on thatcher’s grave |

11.14.23 | 'Conservative Military Image - Casual Violence'
the comments under this bands video for Yard Hard are amusing. seems they have a confused fan base |
bighubbabuddha
11.14.23 | Yeah Tories don't listen to the smiths, sad liberals are smiths fans |
Kompys2000
11.14.23 | I think the thing of why it's on the list is Morrissey himself being a tory or having toryish characteristics |
JohnnyoftheWell
11.14.23 | there's an old story about David Cameron repping the Smiths on (iirc) Desert Island Discs and Johnny Marr blowing off steam at him in response
looks like he also quoted them (slightly incorrectly) at some point in PMQs too |
SomeCallMeTim
11.14.23 | All I keep reading is Toy Story music |
bighubbabuddha
11.15.23 | Cameron has previously publicly declared his love for The Smiths, which led to Labour-supporting guitarist Johnny Marr to later tweet: “David Cameron, stop saying that you like The Smiths, no you don’t. I forbid you to like it.” fairs but I'm with Marr, all my left wing friends listen to the Smiths |

11.15.23 | 'there's an old story about David Cameron repping the Smiths on (iirc) Desert Island Discs and Johnny Marr blowing off steam at him in response
