Come on people! I know we may not like him NOW, but how can you forget about one of the most fun music videos ever made -- rarely shown cause it's so long but GOOD GOSH so much fun!?

THRILLER!!! (gotta love dancing zombies!)

[ThePhoneGoddess]

Nah, I always liked the I'm Bad video better.

Yes, Michael Jackson fubared his face, his life and his reputation, but you've got to admit, Off The Wall and Thriller were both brilliant albums. Great vids, too.

Aww come on. Where is Al? I know someone mentioned Christmas at Ground Zero, but what about:

Ricky - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwld8BZCo_Q

Eat It - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyfcOriVKBM

Like A Surgeon - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kwjhbDkW0I

Fat - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqz1ojIQTBk

Those were some real classics. Of course, my favorite song that addresses the MTV issue is Bowling for Soup's 1985 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dMmNcT3ouo

Just watching all these videos really brings back memories. I feel old now.

Well, since Talking Heads and the Clash are already here, I guess I'll have to add this one:

Men at Work - Down Under

http://youtube.com/watch?v=DNT7uZf7lew

I lived on MTV back then. Now it doesn't even seem to have any videos at all.




OMG I sound like some kind of 21st century codger - "Back in MY day, we had VIDEOS on MTV! None of this newfangled reality programming. Bah! Matlock! You kids don't know how good ya' got it. Where's my cane?!? (totters off, mumbling and waving aimlessly)

A couple more good ones from the 80s:

Lionel Ritchie - All Night Long
Men At Work - Dr. Heckle and Mr. Jive (funny video, sax player Greg Ham lives up to his name! )
Madness - Our House
Madness - House of Fun

I gotta revive this thread. I've had too much fun with it, and you guys are posting some pure gold.

Eddie Grand's Electric Avenue (and check out his other stuff, too.)
I think I had a little crush on Eddie. He looks so...I dunno, happy and enthusiastic. I love his smille.

Here's a Heart vid from the underappreciated Passionworks album. First off, I'd like to say I've been watching a lot of these Heart vids and...just...wow. Heart. Where do I start. I'd almost forgotten how much power these women have. We had Ann and Nancy. These poor young girls these days have Brittanny flipping Spears. All I can say, ladies, is I'm so sorry. Here. Watch some Heart and enjoy some real rock stars.

Secondly, this could almost be our rallying cry here on CS!

This one is for Dips.

Oh wow, I'd forgotten about Eddie Grant. I used to love that video. Great song!

And I agree with you about Heart. Brilliant vocals, excellent musicianship, today's "stars" just can't compare.

The one and only Cure song I ever liked

That song came out in 1991. Although it was being written way back in the early 80s.

[DarthRetard]

I know that AB, but since it involved some incidents in the 80's and was being written back then, I still think it counts.

If someone has already posted this one, my bad
