Some songs get played. Others get banned. Fears. Censored.

Originally a Patreon-exclusive, this series is now free for everyone, because these songs matter now more than ever.

In Part 3 of The Top 80 Protest Songs of the 80s, we continue the countdown with tracks that were so powerful, they were seen as a threat.

From Simple Minds and The Human League to The Style Council and The Clash, these anthems didn't just define a decade, they fought for change.
