My favorite Chumba album is the live one "Showbusiness," which also comes with a Chomsky CD (published by AK Press).
Also worth checking out is last year's "Fellow Workers," a collaboration between Ani DiFranco and Utah Phillips. I caught Utah Phillips at Wolf Trap this past January and he was a hoot.
Rage Against the Machine is decent, but their politics is fairly shallow. It's widely known that the lead singer is the only one who is political. Still, nice to hear a song about pirate radio on an "alternative rock" station.
Public Enemy had some good political songs as did the Goats.
There are also tons of political punk bands that don't have name recognition.
