1. Michael Jackson "Thriller" A great video experience that's sometimes imitated - 4
2. Duran Duran "Rio" Very stylish. Epitomises the 80s feeling very well - 3
3. Madonna "Material Girl" Madonna in a posh dress dancing around in 30s/40s film fashion - 2
4. Beastie Boys "(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party)" Yes. An entertaining video featuring a party full of nerds - 4
5. Talking Heads "Once In A Lifetime" I'm not too sure of this video
6. Devo "Whip It" Not sure
7. The Cure "Close To Me" Again, not sure of this either
8. Whitesnake "Here I Go Again" Not sure - I think I saw it and dismissed it quite readily
9. Run DMC featuring Aerosmith "Walk This Way" Nice video. 3
10. a-ha "Take On Me" I can't say much more about this video that I haven't said before. Pure genius. 5
11. The Cars "Drive" Not bad - 3
12. Bananarama "Venus" Alright - 3
13. The Police "Every Breath You Take" Quite boring actually. Shows the band playing the song - 1
14. Genesis "Land Of Confusion" Great video featuring The Spitting Image puppets - 4
15. Cyndi Lauper "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" Archetypical 80s video - 4
16. INXS "Need You Tonight/Mediate" Not sure
17. U2 "Where The Streets have No Name" Not sure
18. Robert Palmer "Addicted To Love" Some like this. I find it boring. Palmer singing in front of identical women playing instruments. Imitated by Shania Twain in 'Man I feel like a women' video - 1
19. Janet Jackson "Rhythm Nation"" Not sure
20.. Men At Work "Down Under" Alright. Follows the song well - 3
21. Guns N' Roses "Welcome To The Jungle" Not sure
22. Herbie Hancock "Rock It" Mechanised limbs in a house going out of control. Grand stuff - 4
23. Def Leppard "Photograph" Not sure
24. Twisted Sister "We're Not Gonna Take It" Er . . . Alright. I think Michael Jackson borrowed from this for the intro of his video to the song 'Black or white' - 3
25. Toni Basil "Mickey" Basil cheerleading. Oh hum - 2
