#28 Unfiltered Protest Songs of the 80's

The '80s was a great decade and a great one to be alive in. This episode is missing our co-host Matt Bailey, but our replacement and special guest Tave Bragg joins Curly again. A change of name for the podcast and a brilliant episode as Curly is charged with finding five protest songs for the 80's. What about the '80s? Tave described them as the best decade for Australian music, and Curly will not disagree. What a decade and what a great decade of music. This was challenging task and one you will probably not agree with, This was my decade of music, so many influences and so many memories. I can honestly say that these five may not go down as the ultimate top five protest songs of the decade by two of these songs were big influences of mine, and then three were chosen because of the impact and the momentous occasions they were.Check out our Public Playlists on SpotifyUnfiltered Protest Songs - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2GTQ9aEQvxnVzRojKgtPdU?si=173bf5e6e3504d51Unfiltered & Undiscovered Playlist - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5R84KLNeq7MhDewUtFJuqe?si=6f875fae61174159We acknowledge the copyright of the following songs rests with the rights holder.Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.
