Musikens Makt or MM (The Power Of Music) was a political [left] music magazine that sprang from the music movement that was published 1973-1980. After Musikens Makt was closed down, several of its writers started the music magazine Schlager. Schlager did not have as much political character, he took up the Swedish and foreign groups that influenced the music spirit of the eighties. Musikens Makt was mostly written non-profit by people from the music music movement, both listeners, musicians, record sellers and record company people were involved and wrote. The magazine's circulation was a few thousand in the beginning but increased soon and was at most around 15,000. (Musikens Makt index)
