5450. Eddie Grant - Electric Avenue
From: Killer On The Rampage ; Year: 1982; Genre: Funk/Electronica/Reggae It would be a safe bet to say that almost everyone alive in the 1980s has heard this one, it was and still is quite popular. This protest song pushes its message forward, which was speaking out about the 1981 Brixton Riot , with some amazing hooks, great groove, and memorable melody; it worked great in painting the scene of the event.
