There is nothing wrong with using your voice. In fact, everyone should. However, some people fail to use it in a way that makes any real impact while simultaneously acting like they’re the new Martin Luther King. And, in the words of Against Me! They “Come of kind of contrived and pretentious/you’re not saying anything we haven’t heard before.” We don’t mind voicing your opinion, but stop pretending to be doing anything epic when you’re really not.

(I would like to remind all voters in this poll that the nominations, though overseen, were not picked by the poster. These are almost completely based on suggestions made by the users who submitted nominee ideas. If you decide to attack the user for the nominees then you will only end up humiliating yourself as a result. You have been warned.)

Red Hot Chili Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis and girlfriend Heather Christie have named their son Everly Bear. The name Everlyarose from Kiedis' love for the 50s group the Everly Brothers. Christie chose the middle name Bear which Kiedis likes because it's "Earthy." Of these choices, which musician's child has the coolest name?

On Chamillionaire's new single "Hip-Hop Police/The Evening News" the socially conscious rapper gives us a humorous and poignant social commentary ranging from Don Imus to George Bush. Not to be outdone, last week Fall Out Boy brought us an awesome video about the suffering in Uganda. Meanwhile, other artists have done their part to make the world a better place. So, who is your favorite socially conscious artist?
