I was just sitting here thinking about the heyday of MTV, and remembered how kick-ASS some of the videos were! Here are a couple of my favorites... what are yours?

Whitesnake: "Is This Love"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G3Exb1WN4U

Kiss: "Tears Are Falling"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEwnfhuPJGs

DAMN I wish I could go back in a time machine.....

One of my favorite videos of the very late 80s: Woman In Chains. A great duet. You have a gorgeous boxer, sexy stripper, my man Roland singing with the debut of Oleta Adams. How can you go wrong with a stripper and hunky boxer? And a little bit of interview on this as a lead in, which explained the dual meaning behind Woman in Chains, which I found interesting, about freeing the feminine within man. I like the way they did it in black and white, not color.

Styx- Music Time

While there were lots of really god-awful music videos in the 80's, some were fun and creative. Here are a couple I like.

Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer

Love Whitesnake! Must be time to pull out my Sarzo AV again, no?!

The second video played on MTV after The Buggles.

Like a lot of their videos. I much preferred the live band videos to the storyline ones, their musicians. Wayne Isham (director) kicks ass, he was pretty much the one who did all those 80s live concert footage videos from Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Metallica and a bunch of others....and of course Journey's When You Love A Woman. http://www.mvdbase.com/tech.php?last=Isham&first=Wayne

But I did get a kick out of Bon Jovi's Always video and how ALL 4 of the actors in that music video went on to be movie or tv stars. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BMwcO6_hyA

Lee rocks! She took those sexist 80s videos and turned them around.

I actually went to work one Halloween dressed like this (2005), complete with the white stripe and tomahawk bretts.
No one knew who I was of course.
Them: What are you supposed to be, a pirate?
Me: No, I'm Adam Fucking Ant.

A great, fun song. As soon I would hear the first few notes begin playing on the T.V., I would start doing the white boy shuffle, even if I was in another room.

In about 30 minutes, then it will be just me and the coyotes on my nightly stroll.

Check that, the spouse suggests that I go now.
