Bob Dylan went to school. But hell if I can understand him.


Rage Against the Machine were Marxists.


Black Flag probabaly had similar influences.





Edie Brickell needs to be strangled in the shallow water.





There are so many political underground groups.. which I know nothing about. Because no one cares.

Nobody sings about Searle, Derrida or Quine


They Might Be Giants can't even get away with it.

Reply:Depeche Mode, particularly their earlier songs which abound in nihilism


for example, the song "Nothing" has the follwong lyrics:





Sitting target


Sitting waiting


Anticipating


Nothing


Nothing





Life


Is full of surprises


It advertises


Nothing


Nothing





What am I trying to do


What am I trying to say


Im not trying to tell you anything


You didnt know


When you woke up today





Sitting target


Sitting praying


God is saying


Nothing


Nothing





Always


Knows the prospects


Learnt to expect


Nothing


Nothing





Hope this helps. If you havent heard of them, give Depeche Mode a try, they are an amazing and unique band

Rage Against the Machine


Bob Marley %26amp; the Wailers


The Doors.





all of the above have too many songs to mention that are somewhat philosophical in nature...





How about that one by Edie Brickell? "Philosophy....a cereal box religion...I'm not aware of too many things..... I know what I know if you know what I mean.....do ya?"


If that isn't philosophical, I don't know what is.....
