Anyone else a fan of '80s music...videos?

I remember all of them.

(high school was 82-86)

 

I love 80's music - I was born in 1980, so much of it reminds me of my childhood, and many of the songs remind of car trips as they are songs my parents used to play in the cars. Also, the best night out at my University was the 80's night - called Reagans!

Great link BTW - thanks!

 

Real Life - Send Me An Angel !!!! haha i love this song

 

Oh that is awesome. Thank you. If only I could download them.

 

The great videos of the 80s all belonged to metal and rock bands. The video was a new way to show the people what you were all about. You can't duplicate live presense over the radio, but up until then that was the only option.
David Lee Roth (not just when he was with Van Halen) was the eternal video master. He pulled an exponential amount of leg based solely on his video candor.

 

I cannot agree with you more. Long live the 80s metal and rock bands and videos.

DLR absolutely RULED the camera.

 

Was 14 in 1980....so I remember and cherish them all, no matter how bad they were.

 

I think these are all YouTube feeds...

Wow, good stuff in there. I graduated high school in 1987, so I was right in the middle of it. Somehow I feel like we were the last innocent generation, it's interesting to compare what is mainstream now vs. then.

 

High School 83-86 so same here, I love everything to do with the 80's the tv programmes & Films Miami Vice/Magnum/Beverley Hills Cop/Wall Street etc... also the OTT fashion as well as the music, to me its the best decade ever

 

86 - 89 here

 

I just been trawling through those vids for about an hour now, Wow what a blast from the past, I was listening to a Wasp cd today and one of their vids is on there, if you are into heavy rock watch the Wasp-Love Machine vid, I remember now why I enjoyed it as a teenager!!

 

Same year I graduated. My wife says I watch too much "I love the 80's" on VH1, now I'm doomed

 

Class of '84--definitely remember the beginning! Martha Quinn, Nina Blackwood, JJ Jackson, Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter. Thanks for the link to the vids!

 

I was born in 1972

so I learned English by listening to Duran Duran

the 80's still rules!

 

i've got hundreds of hours of vhs tapes of 80's stuff i taped off tv. lots of obscure stuff. i used to show them in my club back in the day.

 

born in 83, always wished i was born in 73 so i could of enjoyed the 80s more..

 

Aaaaa... so much hair! Graduated in '87 so right there with ya, but I was into the punk scene - Black Flag, Dead Kennedy's! What the heck happened to me, now! -m

 

Born in '68, so the 80's were just perfect for me in my teens.
Duran Duran, Teardrop Explodes, Tubeway Army(Gary Numan), The Damned, Talk Talk, Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, Howard Jones...oh i could just go on and on. Still have all my Vinyl...1000's of the buggers. I play them often as i'm still stuck in the eighties with a lot of my music....kind of ties in with my pastel "T" shirts and cotton waist coat jackets,deck shoes and heavily pleated trousers....

Bliss!!

 

You sold out, man!

 

Ohmygod. The Dead Kennedy's. I remember them!

I swear I haven't thought about them in 20 years.

 

This is awesome!
great find.

 

Ok, all you guys that are the same age as me (graduated 86), help me out.

In the EARLY days of MTV, I swear I saw a video entitled "Fried Rats on Toast" that quite literally had rats on toast in the video. It was one of those funny quirky early vids back when people were more creative. Everyone I've mentioned this to thinks I'm imagining it.

Does anyone else remember this? Any clues on the band?

 

I seem to recall a ZZTOP video showing rats on toast, "tv dinner". Is that it?
