En av de tingene som ikke har kommet synlig frem i kommentarene i
etterkant av den tidligere britiske statsminister Maragret Thatchers
død er hennes betydning på andre sektorer i det britiske samfunnet enn
i politikken. Under hennes styre opplevde f.eks. den britiske
musikkbransjen en gullalder man aldri har sett hevrken før eller
siden. For å bevise dette med ugjendrivelig empiri legger jeg her ved
en liste med 50 udødelige hits fremført av 50 ulike britiske artister
i løpet av hennes regjeringstid:

Thatcher for!
