I'm not a big fan of the 80's music, but later on i learned that living under the nuclear threat between the USSR and the US was a justifiable concern to most people in the 80's, and it is no real surprise that it featured in many popular songs of the 80's.
Here's a short list of 80's songs about the nuclear threat:
- Two Tribes, Frankie Goes To Hollywood
- Screaming Jets, Johnny Warman
- 1999, Prince
- Apocalypso, Mental As Anything
- 99 Luft Ballons, Nena lyrics
- Red Sails in the Sunset, Midnight Oil
- Minutes to Midnight, Midnight Oil
- Sweet Bird Of Truth, The The
- Russians, Sting
- Underneath The Radar, Underworld
- London Calling, The Clash
