  • Gen X 80s Top 20 Countdown UK: Laser-Eyed Lovers, Science Fair Seductions & Late-Summer Rebels – April 30, 1983
    Jul 10 2025

    This week, we’re flashing back to the final stretch of summer 1983, when Billie Jean still owned the dance floor, Little Red Corvettes were running red lights in our imaginations, and every mixtape had at least one British accent and a synth line that sounded like the future. From Dexys’ suspenders to Thomas Dolby’s mad-scientist charm, this countdown is pure Gen X magic: theatrical, emotional, and ready to make you feel things under a ceiling fan. April may be winding down, but these tracks are still on fire.

  • Gen X 80s Top 100 Gay Pride Songs: This Is What Survival Sounds Like (Songs 20–1)
    Jul 8 2025

    The final stretch of our Top 100 80s Gay Pride Songs is here; and it’s everything. From Bronski Beat’s defiant “Smalltown Boy” to Madonna’s bedroom-pop rebellion, these last 20 tracks are a glittering parade of power, heartbreak, ecstasy, and evolution. This is where dance floor freedom met personal revolution. Where “I’m Coming Out” was more than a lyric; it was a mission. Where synths soared, voices roared, and being yourself meant everything. We close out this special Pride Month bonus series with nothing less than icons, anthems, and a legacy you can still feel pulsing through the speakers.
