The song Rock'n'roll Är Död was originally the B-side on the 19hundra80sju single and not included on any regular studio album. It was released in 1987 (the year of the title of the A side), and it is a great song. When Thåström took it with him on tour in 2012, 25 years later, it was reworked, but it is still a really powerful song.

May 31 - Rock'n'roll Är Död
So today's song might not be my favorite version of it, as that is found on Imperiet's final album: Studio/Live, with a live version from their goodbye tour that blisters with energy. Imperiet was born out of the ashes of Ebba Grön, with lead singer and guitarist Thåström as the natural front man. Over the course of five years, from 1983-1988, they were the driving force in Swedish rock, at least the alternative side of it.
