Most pop metal bands of the era avoided politics. Def Leppard eschewed this and critiqued Reagan-Thatcherism in "Gods of War." The song appears on their seminal album, Hysteria, and features soundbites from both Reagan and Thatcher. By the time the album was released, the Cold War seemed to be thawing.
