(Sting even accidentally falls down and they didn't edit it out)

Did Sting and Billy Idol share wardrobe and hair stylists for these videos?

For me it doesn't get more 80s than the cold war satire of Frankie Goes To Hollywood's "Two Tribes". It's funny, for some reason I always remembered this as being Reagan and Gorbachev duking it out in the pit, but watching it now I realize it's supposed to be Reagan and Chernenko.

Cinderella! YES!

Folks make fun of Hair Metal all the time now-a-days but I don't care what anyone says, Cinderella was good! :band:

Given that I'm the number one Toto fan on the forum, I love the Hydra album, Hydra song and Hydra video, BTW that video is from the late 1970s (just) and not 1980s but you are forgiven;) Its west coast AOR at is best.

Mad Max inspired vid. Check.
Leopard print boots. Check.
Bad Hair. Check.
Bad dancing. Check.
...and I like this song too :(


all of the above again but I couldn't give 2 craps, this is a superb track! (apart from singer Coverdale all the musicians in the vid didn't even play on the album)

I don't think "Still of the Night" is especially 80's. And the song is awesome. "Lick It Up" and "Nobody's Fool" merely are good.

Now for something very 80's, visually and sonically.

I love that Knee Deep in the Hoopla album, its full of great songs and the band had all the vital elements of classic AOR in that song. Great vocals by Mickey Thomas and a guitar solo by Craig Chaquico. Also, what a pretty girl that is in the video (no not Grace Slick, the other one in the video;)) Also she reminds me of someone I once knew.
