No Laibach! Crime against humanity; 100% of their output, including while under actual totalitarian communism (aka skin in the game), was protest music.

I don't know about that. RATM are a festival-headlining, mass radio-played, commercial band, who wrote the same "protest song" over and over again. Killer Mike, Tom Waits, Bikini Kill and a lot of others on the list are less vanilla than RATM.
