During the eighties, the topic of nuclear war seemed to come up a lot. It was on the news frequently due to the arms build up under the Reagan era and many new wave artists sang about the subject. Which song below do you think is the best tune about "the bomb."

those are all good but my personal fave is Shona Laing's 'Soviet Snow'.

"Shiny Shiny" was about the bomb?

*goes to look up lyrics*

"Heat Wave" by Fay Ray is my favorite. But, from your poll entries I gotta go with "99 Luftballons".

The Police had that song about hoping that the Russians love their children too, but I liked "If the Russians ever come, they'll all be beating bongo drums" from "Beat Crazy" by Joe Jackson.

Everyone can relax. I put in the token vote for Culture Club. I'm man enough that I can take the heat for casting a vote for the most idiotic piece of garbage ever to hit vinyl. Rest easy.

I don't think Love Missle F-111 was about "the bomb"...

Probably my favorite (and the only song I really liked by them) is Fishbone's "Party At Ground Zero".
