The Gang of Four proved that music could be ripe with political thought and still have music that could work as escapist Rock and Roll. Their brand of Post Punk borrowed from multiple influences and was a danceable brand of Alternative music. Gang of Four was able to create a rare brand of dual influence as musically they were able to inspire other bands that used forms of Alternative flavored Danceable Rock and lyrically they inspired other bands to give their socio political views. Influence aside, their lack of album sales may detract Hall voters from looking their way.
