- the Beastie Boys - From egg-throwing punks into beer-swiggin' hooligans than into Tibetan-Freedom-Fightin'/Bush-baiting activists!

- Primal Scream - Ditched paisley jangle and lit-up hedonism for a vague militant pose.

- Manic Street Preachers - Dropped faux-Punky glam damage in favor of strenuously literate earnestness.

Others?

ps. Jay-Z is political re: second verse of "99 Problems" (prolly more)

Political in the sense that "fuck off and leave me alone" is a political stance.

Oh yeah, Libertarians.
