Queen "I want to Break Free" AWESOME
Duran Duran "Hungry like the Wolf" brought videos out of the White background era (even tho I love those too)

There's too many videos to count...David Lee Roth's were always big-budget, funny and over-the-top. Peter Gabriels were always pushing the envelope of Video as "Art".

(Personally I think his best is Shock The Monkey as opposed to the cuter ones he did later on in his career).

But many music videos were overlooked...Todd Rundgren's ones from the 70's and 80's were quite good (Time Heals, Feet Dont Fail Me Now), even that one "Calling All Girls" from...hmmm...I forget now, but that was all over MTV on their first day/year of broadcasting.

I think its great that VH1 Classics exists today, I've seen so many videos on that channel that I had long figured lost to my past.

There are a few I haven't seen in a long time that I am still waiting on, but if I record enough of them to the DVR eventually I'll find the holdouts, mostly older or more obscure stuff. Some, of course, were not shown on MTV but only on shows like Night Flight or other music video programs of the day.

examples:
Todd Rundgren and Utopia: Feet Don't Fail Me Now, or Pat Benetar's "ANXIETY".....saw it once and never again.

Seeing videos like Bowie's "Look Back in Anger" or Planet P Project's "Why Me" **REALLY** took me back the first time I saw them. Its like your brain suddenly fires off synapses it hasn't touched in 20 years.."hey..hey I *know* this video!".

It would have to be "Don't You Forget About Me" by Simple Minds, 'cos the backdrop is dark, and Jim Kean is a gr8 singer.
