Billy Bragg is an 80s anti-folk artist who combines the musical stylings of folk music with punk ideology. Socialist to the core, while you may not agree with his criticisms of the Thatcher administration or his vocal support of industrial unions, he is evidently passionate about his causes and it comes through in his songs. But aside from his lyrical strengths, Bragg's discography showcases a series of raw and power folk songs with undeniable melody and message An essential for every music collection, Bragg is a true marker of the 1980s.
