Subject: Who had the best music videos in the 80s?
Im going with Duran Duran!Girls On Flim is CLASSIC!Also "Rio","View to a Kill", and "Hungry Like The Wolf".
Subject: Re: Who had the best music videos in the 80s?
lol I am going to have to say Peter Gabriel. His "Sledgehammer" video TOTALLY intrigued me with those raw dancing/headless chickens! :D
Subject: Re: Who had the best music videos in the 80s?
Give credit where it's due.....
Michael Jackson
He may be a weirdo now, but he made the best videos back in the 80s.

Subject: Re: Who had the best music videos in the 80s?
oh come on people, A-ha take on me. I dont remember many of their other videos but that was an awesome one. One band that I love but i hated their videos were Van Halen. They started to turn around after Hagar joined though
Subject: Re: Who had the best music videos in the 80s?
I hate to admit it but I have to say Michael Jackson had the best videos in the 80s. I still think Thriller is the best video of all time.
Subject: Re: Who had the best music videos in the 80s?

I was going to say Michael Jackson, too. His early 80's videos are great. I have never been a big fan of his music, but the videos were fun to watch.

I agree.That's one of the best video's of all time. That and "Out Of Touch" by Hall and Oates. And "One On One" by Hall and Oates. :) I also like Michael Jackson "Beat It",Billie Jean and Thiller. :)
Subject: Re: Who had the best music videos in the 80s?
Some of my favourite 80's music videos are:
Dead or Alive - 'Something in my House'
Howard Jones - 'You Know I Love You'
Peter Gabriel - 'Big Time' & 'Red Rain'
Duran Duran - 'Wild Boys'
Cyndi Lauper - 'She Bop'
Kate Bush - 'Cloudbusting' & 'Hounds of Love'
Wang Chung - 'Everybody Have Fun Tonight' &'Let's Go'
A-ha - 'The Living Daylights' & 'Take on Me'
Nik Kershaw - 'The Riddle' ;)
Subject: Re: Who had the best music videos in the 80s?
Duran Duran without a doubt. Every video of their's ever made was a work of video art.
Human League's "(Keep Feeling) Fascination" and "Don't You Want Me" are definitely a close second and third.

I was also going to say those. Can't say I ever cared for the Peter Gabriel videos Sledgehammer and Big Time.
How about Whitesnake?? I loved the Here I Go Again video. Not because of Tawny Kitaen, but because of the Jag she is dancing on!!

Subject: Re: Who had the best music videos in the 80s?
Duran Duran, without a doubt! When I think 80s music videos, they, along with A-ha's "Take On Me", are the first thing that pops into my head. However, so many videos were good. Things just aren't the same now, and I don't think they ever will be!
Subject: Re: Who had the best music videos in the 80s?
Peter Gabriel had some pretty good video during the 80's.
howard
Subject: Re: Who had the best music videos in the 80s?
I like a lot of R.E.M.'s videos from the 80's, particularly Can't Get There From Here (the best of the band besides Everybody Hurts), The One I Love, Radio Free Europe, and Stand
Subject: Re: Who had the best music videos in the 80s?
Genisis-Land of Confusion
Billy Joel-Pressure
Greg Kihn-Jeopardy
There are more but those were my favorites.

Subject: Re: Who had the best music videos in the 80s?
MICHAEL JACKSON had the best videos in the 80's....With Thriller, he redifined the "Music Video" adding a story line and everything...All of Mikes videos from the 80's Kicked...except for Liberian Girl...I wasnt cool with that one, he wasnt in it but for like 5 seconds at the end...
Dont call Mike a wierdo, the tabloids just warped his image...Michael is still the KING!!!
Subject: Re: Who had the best music videos in the 80s?
Men At Work had some pretty good videos.
Has anyone forgot about them? :)

who sings the one where it has all these words in it
"and you may find yourself with a beautiful wife"
"and you may find yourself in a beautiful house"
"and you may ask yourself My God what Have I done?"
"same as it ever was" That video where the guy is chopping his arm with his hand. Y'all know what I mean right. It cracked me up, i really liked it.
Sledge hammer
Fine Young Cannibals (that isn't too late is it)
Madonna

Subject: Re: Who had the best music videos in the 80s?
I agree that Thriller was probably the best ever made...although it was more a mini-movie than a video...but I'm very surprised no one has mentioned the video for "You Might Think" by The Cars....that was a GREAT video! Ric Ocasek "twirling" out of a lipstick tube? Now that's good TV!
Oh how I miss the old MTV.... :-/

Dire Strait's Money For Nothing. I'm really into 3D Computer Animation. That had bad 3D Computer Animation, But it was a first. So I like it.

Subject: Re: Who had the best music videos in the 80s?
I think these artists ha dteh best videos -
Duran Duran - they kinda broke the barrier with entertwining music and fashion - pioneers of the modern music vid
Madonna - 'cause they're all so different
MJ - 'cause of the lighting up pavement in 'Billie Jean', fantastic dance moves in 'Smooth Criminal', 'Beat It' etc...
Men At Work - Down Under - That video is great :]
(Edited to add) New Order - True faith - just fantastic!

You know what - I cant recall the Koala! They do end up on a beach and are digging, in sequence with kids buckets and spades. There's also a section where they're in a bar and the barman squirts 'Fosters' all over them! I have a section of the video on tape which was recorded in '83 - so maybe the koala but wasn't on the section I actually own!
Subject: Re: Who had the best music videos in the 80s?
The Fat Boys had excellent music videos.
"Wipeout" w/The Beach Boys and some other video I can't remember at the moment.
