I had started a Cold War music thread a few years back but a SimHQ server crash ate it. I was never motivated enough to restart it...until now.
This is a selection of songs that give me Cold War and/or Space Race vibes, either referencing the Cold War, the time period, the nations involved, or reasons that make sense only to me...
This listing was compiled well after the thread had started, and eventually I'll go back and listen to all songs again to see which ones I might include in my personal playlist (musical preferences). Thanks to those who participated.
++++++++++
Three of my favorites, a couple of 'Major Toms' and a movie theme that I can't find anywhere...

Just to clarify, this time I've added Space to a Cold War theme as it's become a regular subject in my 80's techno-thrillers, usually the Soviets being concerned about the Shuttle's payload (SDI).

Also, two awesome tracks that I can't find on YouTube, SFP1's OptionsScreen and SingleMissionScreen.

Red, look again at my first post. If you posted something other than Firefox, my apologies. My satellite ISP has trouble with video-heavy threads and will sometimes repeat video links or rearrange them. In any case, thanks for participating.
I'm kind of desperate with this thread (on a 3-day YT binge, my last 'play day') to get it done before changes that are coming to YT (never good for me on satellite)

[Re: MarkG]
Thanks, Red. Apparently there's lots of 80's Cold War themed music I've never heard! That's mainly why I started this thread (twice now), for discovery.
I'm going to post my remaining popular tunes (in the US) and see what unknown (to me) or forgotten tunes pop up over time.
