Even thought Pat Benatar was one of the top rockers of the 80's, THIS song was my favorite:

3 pages and no Rockit, 80's video? Wow... wow. As a kid no other video in the rotation, shoutout to 'Owner of a Lonley Heart', gave you that mix of unsettling/fascinating images with a stone jam on its own like this.

I was going to post it down the line. Glad you did it before me.

What I liked about the 80's Music Videos compared to the '60s and 70's Pretend Performance Videos is that they came with a concept, rather than artists/performers creating a simple on-stage environment. The peak of creativity would have been when they took the performers outside the studio. Nothing was wrong with that per se, but for me, it wasn't more entertaining than listening to the radio. Not that '80s videos were exempt from such practices (especially true for Metal bands), but in some cases, they were taken to the next level. Like in these 3 videos:

And of course.


I'm sure there are more examples, I just don't remember them.
