Summary/Abstract: The topics of the paper are the common political and ideological conflicts of Levente Szörényi and János Bródy, which occurred mainly after the Hungarian democratic regime change (1989-90). In two historical chapters, the study tries to show the most important conflicts, ruptures between the two musicians, before the regime change and over the past thirty years. Finally, the last analytical-theoretical chapter delineates different, conflicting ideas of Szörényi and Bródy on the relation between art and politics, emphasizing the importance of Hungarian “pop-rock mythology” in context of the cultural memory and the recent memory politics.
