Billy Bragg: Still Suitable for Miners | 
#getmovin #anthem
A couple of you posted about your teen anthems so I have to post this. I was 17 and starting my last year of high school, when a wonderful boy played the song ‘Ideology‘ for my year group - we almost all became Billy Bragg fans on the spot, going to his concert, plastering his posters - I still love these songs nearly 30 yrs later but Ideology remains the #anthem https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mVwGbYe9UYc
Cinfhen Thanks for sharing the YouTube link!! NEVER heard Billy Braggs before 6y
Centique @Cinfhen only famous in the UK and commonwealth I think. Kind of Bob Dylan crossed with The Clash. 👍🙃😉 6y
TK421 Billy Bragg did a wonderful album with Wilco several years ago called Mermaid Avenue. 6y

Centique @TK421 yes! I‘d heard it but you‘ve reminded me I must add it to my playlist 😊 6y
batsy Billy Bragg! So nice when their politics is as good as their art and they don't let you down in vile ways (Morrissey, I'm looking at you...) Sweet memories 💕 6y
Centique @batsy I hadn‘t heard those latest Morrissey quotes. Just went down the rabbit hole reading them. SMH. Definitely racist - and some weird pseudo intellectual snobbery stick too. I hope Billy Bragg never lets me down too badly! 🤞🤞 6y
CarolynM @batsy @Centique I'm sure Billy Bragg is one of the good ones like Paul Weller. They'll never let us down 6y
Centique @CarolynM yessss! The Style Council were so great - now I‘ve got a “You‘re the best thing” earworm going (and it‘s great!) 6y
batsy @CarolynM ❤️ I love The Jam and the Style Council but haven't paid much attention to his solo work. I must remedy that!! 6y
kspenmoll He is great; was introduced to him by a friend. 6y
Centique @kspenmoll that‘s so cool! I remember my parents being horrified by his “discordant” voice 😝 6y
