    Despite giving us dross like new romantics and stock Aitken and Waterman the 80s was a pretty fertile breeding ground for protest singers with the likes of Billy Bragg leading the charge but even the mainstream bands go in on the act too. Obviously other decades had their moments too.

    More of an observation than a protest, but its a belter of a choon.
