Icehouse - Hey Little Girl
Some of the best 80s music videos are the 501 adverts:

They really were extremely well produced and had a massive impact at the time, they don't make adverts like that anymore.

Heaven 17 - Crushed by the Wheels of Industry
The 1980's was the best period for music, and here is one of many reasons why.
Split Enz - I Got You (1980)

Echo & The Bunnymen - The Killing Moon
I remember this being banned back in the 80's:
Belouis Some - Imagination

^Outstanding 80s production values on that!
They had a brilliant few years, then Ian McCulloch lost his muse completely and turned into a pretentious scouse Bono, but with less of a fan base. A great shame.

Taco - Puttin' on the Ritz
What has been lost in the video makers art, is the ability to make a whole movie in a three minute or so pop-song, such as this:

Eye to Eye Nice Girls" on YouTube

^Was he the chap with the cap, or the video director or producer? Or even the bass player?
He co-wrote the song and composed the music Hep, Ive been listening to the album for the last couple of weeks..and lovely stuff it is too. It was produced by Gary Katz and also has Donald Fagen playing on the album..its a little gem.

I'll take your word for it Bop, as it doesn't seem to be top of the list of getting the reissue treatment!
