This is one of my top five songs of the 80's -

I disagree willy...never did think Prince was all that pretty...hee hee....

Another of my all time favs:

Sweet Dreams - The Eurythmics

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJE_Sc1Wags
 
Posted by Pyromantic (Member # 7658) on :
 
good picks guys...well..it's end of a new week so here's my next weekly pick:

Duran Duran - Wild Boys:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M43wsiNBwmo

...In all honesty, this video kinda scared me when I'd watch it as a kid. But it would eventually go on to become one of my favorite music videos of the 80's and also become an influence in my interest in the Sci-Fi Genre.

Recently I've been looking at other songs from 80's artists that had one big hit. This was a video from Kim Carnes I never saw before, a creepy video!

Kim Carnes-In the Cards
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4dWVE1F9go&feature=related
 
Posted by Riptide (Member # 457) on :
 
Here's another song I never heard of. Kind of cheesy. Imagine if Morket from A-Ha sang it instead?

Gazebo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grGjD1rTNyg&feature=related
 
Posted by Pyromantic (Member # 7658) on :

my pick for this week...

Billy Joel - For The Longest Time
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_XgQhMPeEQ


..I dare anyone to listen to this song and try and resist the urge to hum along with it=)...this video always puts a smile on my face too.

From the soundtrack of one of your favourite films, "RAD," Pyromantic.

Real Life -- Send Me An Angel

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6zBjYIyz-0
 
Posted by Pyromantic (Member # 7658) on :
 
since I've been in kind of a sentimental frame of mind lately..i figured I'd go with one of my favorite love ballads this week...even though this song conjures up some painful memories for me.

Eric Carmen - Hungry Eyes:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ssCL292DQA

The concept of this music video still kinda confuses me, but I still dig the song all the same.

[ 15. February 2017, 12:50: Message edited by: Pyro ]
 
Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
 
Classic hard AOR song and video LeRoux - Lifeline

from the So Fired Up (1983) album.

Posted by Junior Figueroa (Member # 9287) on :
 
My favorite video of the week -"Save a Prayer"-Duran Duran
 
Posted by Pyromantic (Member # 7658) on :
 
Men Without Hats - I Like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZpv16dwtYE&sns=em


One of my favorite songs from this band..with a great awesomely cheesy music video to boot. [Cool]

Posted by Crash (Member # 7484) on :
 
My favorite is widely considered one of the worst music videos ever, Don Johnson's Hearbeat, a bad concept video if ever there was one. It never fails to crack me up at the part where Johnson is overemoting on stage with the girls crossing behind him. When you see it, you'll know what I mean!
 
Posted by Pyromantic (Member # 7658) on :
 
Billy Ocean - Loverboy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmhjXEkI5Lg

This video was one of my favorites as a kid...Sure, it's a pretty much a blatant, cheap Star Wars rip-off...But who cares?..It's a fun little video and 80's pop song.

Tattooine Boogie Anyone!?!

[ 15. February 2017, 12:51: Message edited by: Pyro ]
 
Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :

Awesome song and video!

Posted by Pyromantic (Member # 7658) on :
 
Hall & Oates - Out of Touch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D00M2KZH1J0


Groovin' 80's song, Whacky video....yup, this equals a winner to me. Good Enough to be my pick for this week.

[ 15. February 2017, 12:52: Message edited by: Pyro ]
 
Posted by aTomiK (Member # 6575) on :
 
Heart - There's The Girl

Easily the best tune from the Bad Animals (1987) album.
Alone was another good one but itīs I-Ten cover.

Posted by Lovers with Cassie (Member # 7794) on :
 
Another crash-hot Australian 80s band.

Icehouse -- Electric Blue

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xYQBTwP3t0

Iva Davies cowrote this with John Oates.
 
Posted by Bernie_Lomax (Member # 8571) on :
 
Iva Davies is definitely guilty of having the most insane mullet of the 80's.

Anything from Icehouse is great. It is one of the few bands that doesn't really have any bad songs.

If you haven't heard much of Icehouse it is a must to get some of their music. A MUST!!!

Great clip by the way.

Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
 
Muffy and Ronnie .. great tunes!

Oh and after all the 'pretty' talk on "The Kiss" thread, I thought this video was needed! [Wink]

Here's a cool picture video.. I would like to make one with 80's actors and actresses:

Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer

I am not too much of a fan of the song but the video is great.

Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire

Though the meaning of this song is still a mystery to me...Is it an Anti-War song or is it the answers to some random history school exam [Confused] IDK..but anyway, what's important is the music is still pretty catchy and the video is like an episode of The Wonder Years....looks like a winner to me [Smile]

[ 05. February 2012, 14:08: Message edited by: Pyro ]
 
Posted by Lovers with Cassie (Member # 7794) on :
 
Pyro, the lyrics of We Didn't Start the Fire concern the historical events that Billy Joel and his generation witnessed throughout their lives.

I hope that that clears it up for you.

Sniff 'N' The Tears - One Love (1980)

Been in a groovy kind of mood lately, so I'm going with this funky little ditty this week.

I'm going with this great little number by The Split Enz - I Got You. https://youtu.be/YmQlBfxh4Us

https://youtu.be/LdhYzXobHEk - Not my favourite track by OMD but a great track all the same - Walking On The Milky Way.
 
Posted by Nostalgic for the '80's (Member # 37454) on :
 
The Buggles' iconic song "Video Killed the Radio Star" (1979) is not quite '80's, but I definitely connect it to that decade since it obviously seems to foretell the forthcoming huge popularity of MTV.

Here's the original music video, as well as a much later 2004 live performance by the Buggles - very cool.

I never knew they made a video for 'Radio Star' prior to the official 1981 MTV launching video? That's very cool. [Cool]


This week is already starting off pretty hellish, like they tend to do a lot. So I'm going to need something a little louder and epic this week.

Cue the late great Ronnie James Dio. \m/ \m/

Sorry, didn't mean to misinform anyone here - as far as I can tell, this link takes you to the 1981 video of "Video Killed the Radio Star" - the song itself is from 1979, however.
