i used to work as a vj at a local video station in tamap, fla in the 80s called V32. my video show was called "Relativity" and it ran for about 4 years. we used to show alot of videos on our show that the staion would never play during regular broadcast hours (the staff just simply didn't like alternative music). after seeing so many "good" videos and "bad" videos, here' my list of my fav 80s vids... 1-dino jr.-little fury things, 2-cabaret voltaire-i want you, 3-the smiths-how soon is now, 4-big audio dynamite-e=mc2, 5-cabaret voltaire-sensoria, 6-the clash-radio clash, 7-m-pop muzik, 8-skinny puppy-dig it, 9-ministry-revenge, 10-cocteau twins-crushed, 11-xymox-moscoviet mosquito, 12-wolfgang press-cut the tree, 13-dif juzz-no motion (you can tell i'm huge 4ad fan), 14-throwing muses-fish, 15-the jamms-downtown, 16-pop will eat itself-there is no love between us, 17-new order-confusion, 18-frankie goes to hollywood-relax (original), 19-eurrogliders-heaven, 20-prefab prout-when love breaks down, 21-krush-house arrest, 22-eric b. and rakim-paid in full, 23-sonic youth-teenage riot, 24-the cars-touch and go, 25-sigue sigue sputnik-f missle f1-11, 26-bow wow wow-i want candy, 27-b movie-switch on, switch off
there's too many more to name.... my friend joe who lives here in the tampa area is collecting tons of 80s videos from people all over the country (plus our dj friend rob pittman has a huge collection he has transferred to dvd) by the way..does anyone remember a syndicated music video show from the 80s called "hollywood heartbeat." it ran for a half hour and was only on for about two years
(it was hosted by the guy who recorded "ebony eyes"). if anyone has any info on this show, please let me know. been trying to find it for years now. thanx.....
