Public Enemy meant a LOT politically, especially when it comes to disseminating the radical leaders of black culture, and including marginalized people who are not discussed by the white media's treatment of the civil rights movement, in the 80's.
It may not have been the same in the UK. different country, different politics.
I consider U2 a "political" band in that vein. I consider The Clash a political band as well. The Wailers, Dylan, anyone who sings about what is really happening around them is political. Katy perry sings about being mildly retarted. That is NOT political.
