Can popular music achieve genuine political change?

Popular music is probably never going to be strong enough to expedite political change. Saying that political campaigners do use the influence of music in their parties to sway voters. But weather popular music as a whole can achieve political change is debatable. The Red Wedge formed by Bill Bragg, Paul Weller and Jummy Sommerville in 1985 hoped to be able to shift the Thatcher party from parliament and form a labor party agenda using popular music, they organised tours with big names but as much as they tried their party proved unsuccessful and weren't voted into parliament. Artists such as Bob Marley a hugely recognized artists emphasizes his view on anti capitalism through his music, selling millions of records which then profit back into the capitalists system. Whilst it is obvious popular music certainly makes a change in political awareness, popular music is not strong enough to change any real political change.
