I love Billy Squire, I love this song, and I'm sorry to have to admit, I love this video.

But I gotta say, Billy Squire really ballsed up his career with this foolishness.

God this thread is bringing back so many memories from my childhood.

Anyway here is one of the finest pieces of meat from the eighties---INXS and their gorgeous lead singer, Michael Hudgens with their first big MTV single, What You Need:

I was and still am, a huge Duran Duran fan. Someday I will be Mrs. Simon Le Bon or Mrs. Roger Taylor.

Anyway, here are a few of their more "memorable" videoes from the early 1980's!

This one is NOT SAFE FOR WORK (nudity towards the end): It's The Chauffer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVHmVbYcuJQ
None of the guys are in the vid though, just black & white and artsy. It's tame by today's standards, but back in the 80's, it was a big thing.

Another one that NOT SAFE FOR WORK (some more nudity): Girls on Film the Uncensored Version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yCFth1dNhw
Interesting, I think MTV used to show this really late at night when all the kiddies were in bed.

One of my favorite Duran Duran songs on the entire planet: Save a Prayer (and yes, this one is safe for work): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCD4rtcOgHE

Careless Memories! Another awesome vid. (And don't worry, from this point on, the vids will be Safe for Work): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCD4rtcOgHE

My other favoritest Duran song: New Religion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFVZX...eature=related

Now remind me again, why the New Romantic Look ever went out of style?

[TruthHurts]

My favorite 80s song/video was definitely The Bangles Walk Like An Egyptian. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MimmTdn9314

My favorite Madonna video was Burning Up, it wasn't as big a hit as her others but pretty cute http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX2I0PtZMl4

And who could forget Land Down Under by Men At Work. The most literal interpretation of a song's lyrics I've ever seen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNT7uZf7lew

[RecoveringKinkoid]

This is awesome. You guys are really posting some great stuff! I LOVED Duran Duran...man, I loved quite a number of bands that have been posted here.

Here's the first Bon Jovi video I'd ever seen. I took one look at that scruffy look and pretty face and went

Looking at this vid, all I can think is "wow....this was pure, unadulterated cheese."

I still love it.

Wow. Talk about your no-talent ass clowns

My contribution will be one of my favorite Van Halen songs: "Hot For Teacher"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5t5GukrWOU

I can't be the only one who thinks they started to suck after Diamond Dave got the heave-ho, can I?

[XCashier]

I can't be the only one who thinks they started to suck after Diamond Dave got the heave-ho, can I?

No. Rare indeed is the band that has been just as good (if not better) after they replace the original lead singer.

Okay, here are some quintessential 80's videos for your enjoyment:

Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me With Science

A Flock of Seagulls - Space Age Love Song (that hair... )

Thompson Twins - Hold Me Now

Elton John - Club at the End of the Street (fun animated video)

Dire Straits - Money for Nothing

[ThePhoneGoddess]

Time to add another video!

I've never been into girls but I have always thought that Annie Lennox was one of the most attractive females I've ever seen. There's something unusual and strong about her that I just love. She also has beautiful, intense, eyes.


I love this song, to me it has one of the catchiest and most addicting guitar riffs of any pop song I've ever heard. Here for your viewing and listening pleasure, I present Would I Lie To You by The Eurythmics:

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Actually, I never much like Van Halen. Dave left, and I started liking not only Van Halen, but Dave as well. Weird. I think the split improved both. (dont' hit!)



Living Color. Amazing, and ususual band:

You know, it's not bad, all things considered. He's got the pipes for it.

[ArenaBoy]

Living Color. Amazing, and ususual band:

First heard of them through a video game of all things.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Higher Ground

Don't know if this has been posted: Twisted Sister - I Wanna Rock

Everyone should know this one. Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire

[Emrld]

ok I know this one didn't actually come out in the 80's but it was in an 80's themed movie . . .and I mean come on the whole writing your own music . . .
