How 'bout Them 80's? What Are Your Faves?
I love Eighties music. Welcome to Mike's Music Morning, dudes and dudettes!
Full disclosure: I was born in 1975, so when I was really starting to get into music as an early teen, this was the era that I lived in. It was also the era of actual music videos on Music Television LOL
Now, I’ve already talked a bit about these first two vids. To me, they exemplify 80’s music. They’re also, in my opinion, two of the greatest music videos of all time.
I like how this band is named after a Star Trek character (the only person to ever turn down a seat on the Federation Council LOL)
Before he was Tim Burton’s favorite, Danny Elfman fronted this band
No discussion of the 80’s would be complete without these next few

A current favorite. (Not sure if the video is any good...)
'80s music is my favorite! All of these are solid, but your Rickroll at the end reminds me of my favorite Astley track - the underappreciated, very catchy 1987 hit "Together Forever:"
