Ahhh, the living mannequins…I always dug that video.

I've always felt the following one was pretty evocative.

1. New Musik

YouTube - New Musik - Living by Numbers - 1980

2. Human League

YouTube - The Human League - Don't You Want Me (2003 Digital Remaster)

3. The extended version of Springsteen's I'm On Fire

But the first music video I remember seeing was not Video Killed the Radio Star

But this, by Def Leppard:

YouTube - Def Leppard - Photograph

Fantastic, man. And a whole other dimension to the music I listened to.

I always thought this was a cool video Fishbone from 86? with hula dancers and no budget.

With a few more dollars you can get a bit more filmic.

my favorite video of the eighties, and quite possibly my favorite video of all time:

Bastards Of Young | The Replacements | Music Video | MTV

forced by the record company to put out a video to promote the Tim album, the 'Mats obliged by making a video so banal that it would bully the record executives into never again requesting another one from the band.

it didn't quite work, but the message was clear: don't mess with the 'Mats.

ironically -- for me, at least -- it turned out to be one of the most memorable videos i've ever seen. i was engrossed from beginning to end. especially impressive was the amount of decibels required to make an ashtray tumble off a speaker.

the Replacements will always be the first and last band that comes to mind when i think about music in the eighties.
