About this listen

This week on the Gen X 80s Top 20 Countdown, we blast back to May 15, 1982, a wild mix of rock giants, new wave upstarts, and heartfelt anthems. From Joan Jett’s leather-jacket swagger to Vangelis’s sweeping synths, and Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder topping it all off with a timeless message of unity, this countdown is pure early-80s magic.


Plus, we’ve just cracked open the vault, Episode 1 of our Top 100 Rock Songs Turning 40 series is live now! Tracks 100 through 81 are ready for your ears, only on the Gen X 80s Top 20 Countdown feed.


Packed with the memories you forgot you still carried. Let’s drop the needle on another unforgettable ride.
