Minor Threat- Straight Edge The Descendents- Hope The 80's were a very good time for punk I'd say.

i think this is one of the great political poems/tracks ever.
gil scott-heron: b-movie he saw all of it. all of it. the record came out in 1981. by the end of the decade, he wasn't on a record label any more. fela saw it too, but from a different place, one where avoidance was harder to pull off. this came out in 1977 but i only heard it in around 1983. fela anikulapo kuti and afrika 70: colonial mentality (excerpt) the cut-off is brutal. but so's everything else. art ensemble of chicago: theme de yoyo this is from 1969, but again it only drifted into my world in the early 1980s. i saw them in 1978. that show altered everything--i've never been the same as i was before that. i worked my way into their stuff bit by bit. this is awesome. not all dreamtime is retrograde tho. chameleons uk. monkeyland don't fall (live) meanwhile, somewhere else entirely: model 500: night drive through babylon

I am quite impressed at the restraint of TFP members. This is a thread where one could legitimately post Rick Astley singing "Never Gonna Give You Up", and it wouldn't be a Rickroll. But no one has, and I thank you all for that.
Nothing says 80's to me like Diamond Dave.

How about some of Neil Finn's work from the 80s:
From 1980: Split Enz: "I Got You" From 1984: Split Enz: "Message to My Girl" From 1986: Crowded House: "Don't Dream Its Over" From 1988: Crowded House: "Better Be Home Soon" (my personal favorite)

That reminded me of one of the more interesting vids of 1987. You can clearly see the band members are barely trying to mimic singing the lyrics.
The hair. I'd kill for that hair. I wouldn't style it like that, but I'd like to have it.

awww, they won't let you play the PE video, rb...
It's next to impossible to find embeddable PE videos on YouTube. -----Added 6/8/2008 at 11 : 02 : 23----- I've been on a kick collecting Tribe Called Quest cds I didn't have... -----Added 6/8/2008 at 11 : 03 : 18----- Gang Starr! -----Added 6/8/2008 at 11 : 11 : 16----- The '80s was also the heydey of the...Quiet Storm.  I know it's corny, but I love Luther Vandross...but whatever your own opinion of his music, he was a sophisticated master vocalist. A rarity in this day and age. As is evidenced by this live clip. So many people try to pretend, and make fools out of themselves. I love Luther.

Here's one for fans of M&M's. The The.
This was made three years before Avid was introduced, so that means they producers probably used time lapse photography for some scenes. It must have taken forever. And another 80's song that made a comback, thanks to Listerine: Sounds like the ad producers speeded up the music about 3.5.

you can click the vid to take you to youtube and it will play there.
