I remember loving Duran Duran videos in the 80s, though I don't know if they'd hold up now.
Specifically, my favorite was "Save a Prayer," followed by "New Moon on Monday," "Union of the Snake," "Girls on Film," and "The Reflex."
Ooooh! I know what 80s video would probably still hold up today! The long form (~20 min, IIRC) video of Bowie's "Blue Jean"!

OMG. juliana's post made me realize that I could see Duran Duran videos on YouTube!
There goes the rest of MY evening....
Though I could probably make a case for a bunch of the hair bands.
I wil happily help you make that case.
Really, I found the long version of Blue Jean to be astonishingly taxing. Just boring until the damn song finally kicked in.
Juliana, Suggs has a radio program in the UK now. 2pm til 4pm on Virgin Radio.

Well, I was *12* at the time. I thought it was all cutting-edge cool.

Someone's never seen the video for "The Chauffeur"
Didn't MTV take the video for "Girls on Film" out of rotation for a while because it was too racy or something?
Yes and then they put an edited version up in its place. They never aired the full-length one. It has nipples!
Have to share a bit of a conversation I'm having with L who is on a "getting rid of shit so I can fit it into an apartment."
L: Don't need that! Oh wedding book! Definately can go away!
Me: You may want it someday...
L: No, it's a how to.
Me: Well, you may get married again.
L: Well then I'll buy a better one! Obviously this one didn't work! I need one with a contegency plan!
It's good to hear her snarky and pissy instead of sad.

Hey! I WAS YOUNG TOO11!
I just watched the Madness vid. man, I had forgotten how damn funny that was.
Easing into the hair bands category: Blaze Of Glory, by Jon Bon Jovi.
Yes, 1990, yes, solo, but Jon! Shirtless! In skin-tight leather pants! Earnestly cuddling his guitar! In the middle of some of the best scenery ever! LOVE.

Isn't it, though? They're so cute.
