Dead Kennedys
West Coast Punk iconoclasts whose name alone (nevermind the music) continues to raise the hackles of parents and politicians.
The Dead Kennedys were one of the few early U.S. Punk bands to draw politics into Punk.
Frontman Jello Biafra ran for mayor of San Francisco in 1979. He came in fourth out of ten canidates.
The PMRC, led by Tipper Gore, singled out the Dead Kennedys as a band whose music crossed the line of "acceptable" taste.
The Dead Kennedys disbanded in 1987, shortly after releasing "Bedtime for Democracy."
