I always loved Kate Bush's "Cloudbursting."
The Police - "Every Step You Take" -- one of the classiest videos of the 80s
Peter Gabriel - "Shock the Monkey" "Sledgehammer" "Big Time"
Lene Lovich - "New Toy"
Midnight Oil - "The Power & The Passion"
All Cure Videos

I'll probably post more later as they come to me.

Not familiar with this one. (Breathing heavily......) [;)]

Duran Duran seemed to have videos nailed - despite some bizarre turns. "All She Wants" and "Do You Believe in Shame?" are two of my faves.

"Take On Me" has to be the best ever. Duran Duran's were great if a little odd (I think MTV once ran an "Explain The 'New Moon On Monday' Video Contest" where the best explanation won a prize).

For unintentional comedy, you have to see the video by Krisma for "Nothing To Do With The Dog". The Unintentional Comedy Rating is off the charts.

Ultravox and Visage made great videos. I also like Classix Nouveaux and early Pseudo Echo and Duran Duran videos. Seems like the New Romantic bands knew what they were doing.

One of the main complaints of Rock musicians was that it was all about "the look" and " no substance"[B)]

I loved Blondie's Hanging on the Telephone - Deb at her hottest, and she made some awesome crazy faces in it. I also liked Dreaming - the video captured the energy of the song pretty well.

The Motel's Only the Lonely and Suddenly Last Summer - both pretty mysterious - and Martha always looked good when she appeared to be in vauge danger.

All of the Soft Cell vids-especially the infamous Sex Dwarf and Bedsitter

Siouxsie and the Banshees-Dear Prudence-the scenery of Venice and Robert acting (or maybe not acting) drunk

Bowie's Ashes to Ashes-complete with a Steve Strange cameo

Eurythmics-Love Is a Stranger and Who's That Girl

Echo and the Bunnymen-The Killing Moon

The Cure-Close to Me

God, what was I thinking earlier as far as iconic 80s videos...FGTH's Two Tribes has to be up there too with the US/USSR wrestling match!



Still looking for New Order Confusion though. [:D]

You have my number. But call me before I send the laserdisk to antisoshal. And can you tell me if the original band members of Berlin will be with Terri Nun at the Downtown? I clicked all the links and don't find anything.

[:I] I wasn't able to find the details either! I'll 2Nu on the hub right now. And if it's going to Antisoshal, that's a better cause. I can wait. It'd be logistically tough to coordinate your laserdiscing and my DVD recording.
