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 and
www.mtv.com (they may not play
music videos on TV anymore, but they've got a great video archive
available online.
