It's one thing to not be able to stomach The Smiths because Morrisey is a Nazi, but I'm pretty sure Bruce Springsteen didn't give Reagan's campaign permission to use that song. Springsteen is a lib, but he's a lib that's been pretty vocal about LGBTQ rights and was even critical of Obama's foreign policy. The Boss is probably not a comrade, but I doubt he's got fash blood under his skin.
On the other hand, Pantera. And pretty much any Norwegian black metal band. And goddamned Ace of Base (I will never not link this).
Edit: really most 80s thrash metal. Slayer even did sort of a heel turn with Tom Araya insisting for years that "Angel of Death" wasn't pro-Nazi, all while Jeff Hanneman was amassing a collection of Nazi memorabilia. :sus-torment:
Isn't the only historical relevancy of Ace of Base that they were the first group to be a vehicle for the Swedish song writers that would later write all the Britney Spears and Katy Perry hits? Those guys stopped associated with Ace of Base when it came out that one of the dudes used to be part of a nazi party. Was it the Nazi written songs that were the hits?
