I started a page on the best cheesy videos of the eighties, and trust me there are plenty, but I don't have a page to list your favorite videos (regardless of the chesse value). So feel free to send me your favorite videos, please don't send a list of more than 10 videos though.

"Every Breath You Take", by The Police
Great song. But the one thing I don't like is that at the beginning and the end there is an ash try, first with one cigarette and at the end, about a dozen. Why would they put something so negative into a music video for such a great song? And by the way, it's not because "Sting smokes" because he defiantly doesn't.

"mayor of simpleton", by xtc
I loved this song and the group.

"Velcro Fly", by ZZ Top
Trademark beards, raw guitars and pretty girls are always a part of almost every ZZ Top video, this one is no exception. However, a nice drum beat is the backbone of this song. The trio of Gibbons, Hill and Beard put on their best dance moves here. Of course the shapely girls are the main feature amidst a backdrop of hieroglyphics. The Paula Abdul choreography rocks!

"That's All", by Genesis
Wonderful tune off the 1983 self-titled album has Banks, Collins and Rutherford living in the back alleys as street people. A simple but well done video that never over dramatizes or makes fun of those without a home.

"Stranger in Town", by Toto
This very dark, black and white video based on the 1961 film "Whistle Down the Wind" features Brad Dourif as a wanted man being hunted by the police. While trying to escape he finds temporary refuge in a barn and is mistaken for Jesus Christ by some of the small children. Dourif is asked to read a bit from the Bible as the kids gather to listen, and while doing so he is captured by the police. This is Toto's best video. Dourif is great, his expressions and body language are more than enough to understand the storyline; this along with Toto's haunting score creates more of a film short rather than a music video. Awesome directing and editing makes this one of the best produced music videos.

"Shadows of the Night", by Pat Benatar
Well done WWII themed video features Benatar as a factory worker daydreaming about leading a small air mission into Nazi territory and blowing up the headquarters. There are also small appearances by Judge Reinhold as an American pilot and Bill Paxton as a Nazi soldier.

"When the Night Comes", by Joe Cocker
It's a cool video. I did not expect Joe to look scraggly like he did.

"Modern Day Love", by Dial M
Kinda dark, gloomy setting but the tune kept you mistified and wondering what the hell is this tune about?!
Review by: Eddie Silva
"Brass in Pocket", by The Pretenders
This takes place in a restaurant and those people are showing their 'SPECIAL' on their sheets on which they ordered a special on the menu every time the backup singers say "Special".

"FUNKYTOWN", by LIPPS INC.
OMG this song was the BEST.... I will never forget those zillion times roller skating to this song.... all my friends had this song as our favourite.

"Hungry Like The Wolf", by Duran Duran
WOW! I love Duran Duran and this video popularized them. "Hungry Like the Wolf" was #11 on the turn of the century MTV "100 Greatest Videos Ever Made" List and #31 on the "VH1: 100 Greatest Videos". MTV also named it the fifteenth of their most-played videos of all time. JT's bare chest and Simon's running around was HEAVEN!

"All You Zombies", by The Hooters
This song brings back so many memories. We used to have it as an inspirational "Fight" song back in High School. It stats out with the guy washing his head in the water, and walking inside the factory. Then you seen the factory manager who is depicted as the evil dictator. The video and lyrics then go in to describing some stories from the bible, in much cooler terms. The scenes and lyrics just make you glued to the set. The final lyrics and scene "the rains gonna fall on you" you see the boss being hung, and "getting his" This is also a good song to listen to with the special time with your spouse, or when cruising down the highway with the top down.
