Most of them most likely.

I listen to everything from Springsteen to Streisand and enjoy the music without caring about who they vote for. Doesn't bother me, I kind of expect artists to be liberal anyway.

Same, I don't care what their politics are privately, who they vote for. But what turns me off completely is a musician, an entertainer that uses their celebrity to advance leftist causes. Through their work, recorded or live concerts, to enter the political fray with both feet, to insert themselves into trying to influence their fans on political bullshit.

Springsteen.

Used to really like and listen to him to include watching Lillyhammer episode a couple times which he appeared.

Now i will actively avoid anything (but admit i still have a couple original release albums of his from the 70s/early-80s)

Jethro Tull: A few years ago listening to XM radio live concert, I heard Ian Anderson lecturing the audience about how the U.S. is so f**ked up and we have no right using our military to straighten out the world. His rant went on for a good 5 minutes.
Refused to listen to them after that.
