The Top 40 Songs That Matter From The 80s

Bonus Episode of the Dangerous Memory Podcast (Apologies for the confusing start of this post . . . )

Charlie Angus - The Resistance - August 31, 2025

EXCERPT: "This is not a list of my fave 40 songs from the 80s. Nor is it a list of the literal top 40 of the era. Some of the songs on the list I don't even like all that much, even though you might love them. They are on there because of their cultural and political significance. I will also point out that my book is rooted in the experience I had in the Toronto scene, and so some of the choices reflect that reality.

And hey, the great thing about lists is that it creates counter lists.

So as we say in northern Canada, give'er. . . . . "
