I'm sure that the band's impact was underreported in the US, where the debut album only charted at #45 (much higher in the UK and AU). 2nd album 'Evil Empire' debuted at US#1,, and did equally well internationally.
Its song 'Tire Me', sez Wikipedia, "never had a music video, was never released on any media formats, and had no radio airplay" (odd, no?), yet it won a Grammy in 1997. (This was 1996 ... little internet ... and yet word got around.)
I don't expect music to have much widespread political impact ... the impact is in deeper regions less open to media manipulation.
