From 1968, the Beatles' classic song (and one of my personal Beatles favorites) "Revolution" as performed on the BBC's DAVID FROST SHOW. (David Frost, of course, being a veteran British journalist and TV presenter) Probably Lennon's first overtly political song ever.

Tommy Smothers introducing the members of The Who. He doesn't do a very good job. THESE GUYS COMMAND RESPECT!
This is a 2001 remake of the song originally done by Chris Norman and Suzi Quattro in 1978. Looks like he still has the sex appeal and charm established in his younger days :-)

Marc Bolan was joined by Elton John and Ringo Starr in 1971.
The song is about teenage rebellion, and upon its release, some critics blasted the song, as it marked a change in the band's overall tempo. Some even believed the song was pro-communist propaganda, based on the title alone.
It was included in the film Born to Boogie, in the famous Apple Studios jam with Elton John. During the jam, Marc Bolan puts his head through a grand piano while Elton is playing. It was also included in the films Billy Elliot, in the scene after Billy's father confronts him about learning ballet, and Breakfast on Pluto, during a dance scene.
"Jeepster" was a 1971 single by the British glam rock band T. Rex, from the group's second album, Electric Warrior.
The song peaked at #2 in the UK charts, and was controversial in that Fly Records released the song without singer Marc Bolan's prior permission, since Bolan had just left Fly for EMI, which had given him control of his own label, T. Rex Wax Co. Records.
The music and rhythm are quite close to that of the Howlin' Wolf song "You'll Be Mine", written by Willie Dixon. In interviews, Marc Bolan has acknowledged that he "lifted it from a Howlin' Wolf song".
