Post links to YouTube videos of 80's stuff here. I'll start

Song To The Siren - This Mortal Coil

 
Timbuc 3 - The Futures So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades



Typified the optimism of the mid 80's rather than being a particularly brilliant track.
 
The Cure's - Close To Me



a great song and video made even more bizarre in the video for the remix version where the band get out of the wardrobe and play in an octopuses garden.

 
Grandmaster Flash and Melly Mel - White Lines (Don't Do It)



And because i can't decide which I prefer

Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five with Melly Mel - The Message

 
And you can't have an 80's nostalgia event without

Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax


with the original video recorded for The Tube which was then replaced with a new video when it was a hit.
 
Money For Nothing - Dire Straits. One of faves during my Uni time !

 
Japan - Life in Tokyo. (Extended version) Originally released in 1979 as a 12" Promo, then re-released twice in the next 3 years.

 
The One I Love - REM



Still Loving You - Scorpions



Against the Wind - Bob Seger



Brilliant Disguise - Bruce Springsteen



I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight - Cutting Crew



I should go study now.
 
Wang Chung - Dance Hall Days
