Random thought:
Someone posted Nena's 99 Luftballoons in the runaway blimp thread, and it made me think of good 1980s nuclear/cold war songs...
Distant Early Warning - Rush
2 Minutes to Midnight - Iron Maiden
Stand or Fall - The Fixx
Just off the top of my head. I know there are tons more. While the Maiden tune is awesome, the number of New Wave tunes (and that album was as close as Rush ever got to new wave) with really dark themes is interesting.
I would say some other songs are much stronger in that category:
Frankie Goes to Hollywood - Two Tribes
Deep Purple - Child in Time
Motörhead - Orgasmatron
