This article attempts to move
analysis of the interaction of Thatcherism and popular music on from the reporting
of anti-Thatcher songs to examining the impact of Thatcherite policy on the music
industries. It argues that a policy-based analysis of the Conservative
governments of 1979-1997 offers the potential to reveal more about the actual
impact of Thatcherism on popular music than has hitherto been shown.
