#80sTop30 1. Brian Eno: An Ending (Ascent) (1983) My mother recently died. Her funeral is in two weeks, and we’ve decided to finish the ceremony with this is unfathomably beautiful piece. There was no way it was not going to be my #1 at this point 💔 youtu.be/OlaTeXX3uH8?...

#80sTop30 2. Diana Ross: Upside Down (1980) Upside Down has one of the greatest performances by a rhythm section I’ve ever heard. Niles’ precise rhythm guitar, the barely perceptible little anomalies in Tony Thompson’s drum patterns. Just 🤩! Vocal delivery is ace too. youtu.be/A4-wvmX5Tbk?...

#80sTop30 3. Siouxsie & The Banshees: Rhapsody (1988) A postpunk song like no other. A richly textured, emotional eruption, both ominous and cathartic. Possibly my all-time favourite album closer. youtu.be/YGywAydC_cE?...

#80sTop30 4. Vangelis: Blush Response (1982) Cascading percussion, layered, spiraling arpeggios and a beautiful, eerie melody. Astonishing song. youtu.be/JbH_67CvNj4?...

#80sTop30 5. 808 State: Flow Coma (1988) An undeniable piece of animated acid house perfection. The Prodigy’s greatest song ’Break & Enter’ is basically a rewrite of this 808 tune.🎶 youtu.be/49P4GUA4AIY?...

#80sTop30 6. Bauhaus: The Passion Of Lovers (1981) Commanding and propulsive but also plenty of space that allows the music to breathe. Peter Murphy on 🔥. One of my favourite post-punk songs of all time. youtu.be/2FReAJa_7L8?...

#80sTop30 7. Hüsker Dü: Beyond The Threshold (1984) If I had present the purpose of electric guitars to a superior alien species in 5 songs, this would be one of them. The drumming is pretty damn trippy too… youtu.be/78MIgXgY4k4?...

#80sTop30 8. Talking Heads: Once In A Lifetime (1980) It’s 2025 and this is still one of the great singles in pop music, same as it ever was 🤩 youtu.be/5IsSpAOD6K8?...

#80sTop30 9. Jon & Vangelis: I’ll Find My Way Home (1981) An absolute masterclass in dynamic, spacious studio work combined with a melody that is pure bliss. youtu.be/ePE9w6D2JWg?...

#80sTop30 10. Roedelius: Veilchenwurzeln (1981) A gorgeous, deeply emotive ambient/kosmische piece. The analog tones and shifting textures are warm and atmospheric but not mawkish in the slightest. youtu.be/1_-UOZD2hCg?...

#80sTop30 11. Ryuichi Sakamoto: Riot In Lagos (1980) Simply one of the important tracks in 80s electronic music, and a superb example of Sakamoto’s visionary approach to sound design and digital composition. youtu.be/GPuBOYsl--M?...

#80sTop30 12 The Chills: Pink Frost (1984) One of the all-time great indie pop singles, if not the greatest. Unique atmosphere, staggering lyrics. youtu.be/oV_TMB2RtTA?...

#80sTop30 13. Virginia Astley: A summer long since passed (1983) A small wonder of pastoral beauty, paired with sonic curveballs such as the quiet tapeloops that enter the song around the 2 1/2 minute mark. youtu.be/VozZoFLsQQI?...

#80sTop30 14. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds: The Mercy Seat (1988) Halfway through it’s so intense you’d think something very big is about to explode, and from there it just keeps building. Best encore song ever! youtu.be/sa5U2GrLshQ?...

Alltigenom korrekt, ärligt och modigt. De som ville förbjuda hädelse hade fel. www.kyrkanstidning.se/kultur/sakin...

#80sTop30 15. Tom Waits: Innocent When You Dream (1987) This nostalgic depiction of the longing for emotional purity is so heartwarming it’s almost painful.🖤 youtu.be/fOO64voDRNE?...

#80sTop30 16. NWA: Straight Outta Compton (1988) The beat and the funk samples explode in your face, while Ice Cube and his fellow MCs deliver one unapologetically iconic line after another. youtu.be/TMZi25Pq3T8?...

D’Angelo, no! 😱 Devil’s Pie, Spanish Joint, 1000 Deaths and, above all, Till It’s Done all rank among my fave songs from the 21st century. What a talent! variety.com/2025/music/n...

#80sTop30 17. Philip Glass: Opening (1982) Outstanding modern classical piece that bridges the gap btw avant-garde minimalism and mainstream appeal. The clever use of interlocking patterns creates a swirling, ethereal quality that’s soothing and perhaps a bit unsettling. youtu.be/_2vRbNehGB0?...

#80sTop30 18. Twice A Man: Lapwing Territory (1986) Sweden’s greatest ever electronic band were masters of dark, evocative synthpop. This may very well be the finest moment of their career. youtu.be/EzYKHEhu73M?...

Trump confirms he was a partner in Israel’s genocide: “Netanyahu would call me so many times asking for weapons I never heard of. But we got them didn’t we? You used them very well.” In fact they were used so well, as of October 7, 67,173 civilians were killed, of which 20,179 were children.

#80sTop30 19. Big Black: Passing Complexion (1986) Industrial noise, relentless drum machine beats and endearingly aggressive, off-kilter guitars. This is exactly what rock music ought to sound like 👏 youtu.be/HCeipaA8KCg?...

Efter dokumentären om pedofilskandalen på Internationella engelska skolan i Karlstad fortsätter Moderaterna att kampanja med IES för en tuffare skola. Och många i koncernens ledning är just före detta moderater.

#80sTop30 20. Kate Bush: Running Up That Hill (1985) Love the pulsing synths, haunting vocals and ethereal atmosphere of this song. youtu.be/wp43OdtAAkM?...

#80sTop30 21. Elvis Costello: I Want You (1986) My favourite EC track is drenched in jealousy, obsession and raw vulnerabikity, not to mention brilliant, understated musicianship. Pure 🔥 youtu.be/CykE5DFJVr0?...

#80sTop30 22. Zazou/Bikaye ft. CY1: Mama Lenvo (1983) Outstanding blend of emotive Congolese vocals, rich melodies and layered electronic textures that buzz, hum and stir. The whole LP is quite stunning. youtu.be/UWlMvvBT_UE?...

Daylight saving times should be abolished. We are no longer living in the 19th century, we can do without. It'll be great for mental health, and people hating early darkness during the evening. BST timezone should be permanent

#80sTop30 23. Wire: The Boiling Boy (1988) No other band creates this kind of atmospheric, restrained intensity quite like Wire 👌 youtu.be/nLNrbTG3q4c?...

#80sTop30 24. Sugarcubes: Birthday (1988) Imo one of the greatest and also most eccentric indie pop songs of the 80s. youtu.be/qQPm5wqMScE?...

#80sTop30 25. Vangelis: Chariots of Fire (1981) Grand, soaring and immensely beautiful 🎶 youtu.be/8a-HfNE3EIo?...

#80sTop30 26. Game Theory: Here It Is Tomorrow (1986) A tremendous piece of power pop, expertly written and performed. Thanks @beernbugs.bsky.social for introducing me to this record 🙏 youtu.be/oNb7tWKk_U8?...

#80sTop30 27. Mariah: Sokokara (1983) Imaginative, delicate Japanese synthpop from a long lost cult album, finally reissued in 2015. youtu.be/KWumvdAc8jY?...

#80sTop30 28. Suicide: Diamonds, Fur Coat, Champagne (1980) Suicide’s trance-like exposure of the hollowness of excess is excessively beautiful. youtu.be/P4MB5k-DSwc?...

#80sTop30 29. Grace Jones: Walking In The Rain (1981) Sublime production and arrangement. youtu.be/TbDJjjJQJ-o?...

#80sTop30 30. Hüsker Dü: No Promise Have I Made (1986) Grant Hart’s stark, confessional piano ballad is devastatingly beautiful. youtu.be/EmZPsLiTNM0?...

Värdelöst statistiskt påstående som dessutom förutspår en mörk framtid – USA slutar ju nu att öht utreda högerextremistisk terror samtidigt som man terrorstämplat den ej existerande organisationen "Antifa".

Läs Gelin ”En studie av Brookings Institution från 2023, där de analyserade 79 politiska poddar, visade att Charlie Kirk ljög näst mest av alla. Lögnerna var ofta rasistiska, kvinnofientliga, transfobiska eller antivetenskapliga.” www.dn.se/kultur/marti...
