Both Amon Duul's had links with the Baader-Meinhof group, I believe. Also, there's early Neubauten photos of them doing a copy of the Hans-Martin Schleyer photos taken by the RAF in the 70's (Schleyer was kidnapped and murdered by them). John Sinclair got into some heavy shit with the US authorities. The Sex Pistols were put on an MI5 blacklist. Members of the Czech group Plastic People of the Universe were imprisoned by the ruling Communist regime in the 70's simply for playing "un-socialist" music.

I'm having real problems thinking of modern-day equivalents of the above though.
