Top5 '80s Music-Videos Which Should Be Preserved For AllTime

[Rainswept]

Man now you've got 80's music in my head. Don't think anyone has mentioned the biggest band in the world at the end of the 80's....

Welcome to the Jungle

[farfalla]

giving in to temptation, again

80's music - so much to remember

I have a personal attachment to the message bands - U2, of course - but my heart belongs to

The Fixx - Cy, Jamie, Rupert and Adam, the drummer, with that blond hair falling in his eyes. Lost count of the number of their concerts I went to and hours on the floor with my ear next to the speaker.

Most know "One Thing Leads to Another" but there are "Stand or Fall", "Sinking Island", "Built for the Future" and the haunting music , lyrics and video of "Red Skies Tonight".

Things change, a current low interest loan car advertisement is using the Fixx Lyrics from "Saved By Zero" -

I was a teenager in the 90's but 80's music was so good, even the bad stuff...

I'm completely addicted to listening to 80's music at the moment, Flock of Seagulls, Cutting Crew, Kenny Loggins....

Oh crap!!

How could I have left AFOS of of my list.
Their videos could make anyone's worst list, based on hair alone.

You can't see the bass's neck, but did anyone else notice that the guitarists never changed what chords they were playing? It's like, here's a guitar, hold it like this, now look like a fembot.

The lead singer's bad hair and make-up and the lead guitarists' bad sunnies... Oh man this song rocks but!!

80's music is inescapable! I sat down to research a paper for my geology class, and as soon as I look the location up, wiki listed the famous people from that island, #1 was....

Arrow ~ Hot Hot Hot

[HeathenPastafarian]

Okay...not to be nitpicky but a lot of you are actually listing 90's music, but I won't hold it against you.

Fueled By Coffee definitley hit the nail on the head with The Safety Dance.

A double header....HUngry like the wolf and Rio by Duran Duran

Eddie Murphy-Party all the time

Lional Ritchie-Dancin on the Ceiling

[Rainswept]

OK, so not an actual, made to be a video video, and yet still one of the absolute best videos from the 80's:

Marty McFly ~ Johnny B. Goode

Guess you guys aren't ready for that yet....

[fueledbycoffee]

Oh, another dubious classic: Here I Go Again by Whitesnake.

Edit: Oh, yeah. This isn't an actual music video, rather a film clip, but Magic Dance by David Bowie definitely ranks up there.

Yup, that be their names; I remember "Cry" especially. They managed to pull off morphing before the computer technology for it was available.
