Finding inspiration in the righteous anger of punk rock and the socially conscious folk tradition of Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, Billy Bragg was the leading figure of the anti-folk movement of the '80s.
For most of the decade, Bragg bashed out songs alone on his electric guitar, singing about politics and love.
