80s Music Videos
Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggles
was the first video MTV broadcast back in August of 1981. That was
the beginning of something really great. If you
love the music of the 80s, the videos that went along with them were like
icing on the cake. It was all new territory and video directors
seized the opportunity with classic 80s excess. Below are just a
sampling of the thousands of fabulous music videos from the 80s
(alphabetical by song name). If there is an 80s music video that you like
or miss that we don't include here -
let us know. We'll try to track it down. You can also try
www.youtube.com, a great resource for
vintage video clips, or
The Loquacious Curmudgeon, a compilation source of 80s video links.
