2. Another Nail in my Heart

Squeeze, with Jools Holland pushing his upright piano to the studio and arriving for the last few notes!

[ms liberty]

28. Great choice! I love that one, and Squeeze

[displacedvermoter]

41. Glad you enjoy it too!

[highplainsdem]

61. Found it:

[displacedvermoter]

66. Thanks so much

Love the guys hanging out at the bar, like the neck tie with the young lady projected on it, and the guitar solo is an under appreciated classic.

Great rock song and my favorite video! Squeeze not being in the Rock and Roll "Hall of Fame" is a major example of how ridiculous an institution it is.

Thanks again, started my day off with a smile.

3. Shine On You Crazy Diamond

[Croney]

5. Take On Me

[chicoescuela]

between Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and
Dire Straits " Tunnel of Love".

[red dog 1]

8. Dire Straits song from a 1977 five-song demo tape which they took to MCA in Soho but were turned down..

[boonecreek]

Brilliant move by MCA, what?

[Enter stage left]

7. Footloose.

[highplainsdem]

62. Here you go:

[Dem2theMax]

9. Sledgehammer -- Peter Gabriel.

When MTV started, you spent your nights and weekends watching it, instead of going anywhere.

Back in the day, it was the best!

[hay rick]

10. Free Man in Paris, Joni Mitchell

After she started incorporating a lot of jazz into her songs. All star lineup including Jaco Pastorius, Michael Brecker, and Pat Matheny.

[Faux pas]

11. Jump-Van Halen

Love how David Lee Roth moved!

[Orrex]

39. I remember that vid's premiere during MTV's New Years's show kicking off 1984

I watched it with my pet dinosaur, probably.

[Faux pas]

45. Lol

I'm jealous that you had a pet dinosaur! It was that video that made me buy the cassette.

12. "Man! I feel like a woman" by Shania Twain

It's a great spoof on Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love" music video.

[LeftInTX]

13. I've heard that song a million times, but didn't know about the video! That's really cool!

[LeftInTX]

14. I like Bollywood these days, but no one here seems to appreciate it. So I'll pass..LOL

They do make great videos.

I'll share two


In this first video, the dancer in orange Maduri Dixit is an undercover cop who is trying to entrap the guy who is jeering at her.

?si=nv0SMhXZmN2jnR9H

[red dog 1]

55. Speaking of Patsy Cline...

[Emile]

70. Damn, she could sing!

[LogDog75]

19. Street of Fire

I first saw this on a video juke box in the NCO Club in Germany in 1984 and thought that would make a great movie. Duh!, it was from the movie Streets of Fire.

[Doc_Technical]

20. Fiona Apple - Across the Universe

[red dog 1]

21. Great cover of a great Beatles song.

[LearnedHand]

30. Oh that's lovely

I've never seen this. Agree it's a great cover!

[Jeebo]

22. The Beatles' rooftop concert.

In January 1969. There used to be a video on YouTube of the full rooftop concert but it disappeared I guess because of copyright reasons. There are still videos of individual songs from that concert on YouTube, though, and I think you can still see pretty much the whole concert in snippets by watching it one song at a time. It's part of the movie "Let It Be" I think which I haven't seen in decades, if I have an opportunity I'll watch that movie again.

— Ron

[Boomerproud]

24. A former coworker of mine claimed he was there thst day.

Obviously the best part of Let It Be. Can't believe it was 56 years ago. The sense of sheer joy is what makes it so memorable and powerful to me.

[red dog 1]

25. Dig a Pony

[boonecreek]

38. Tender is the Night by Jackson Browne.

[Orrex]

40. I've always loved David Bowie's Heroes

I prefer the full-length version of the song, but the simplicity of the vid really his me, no matter how many times the song's been licensed to commercials or to terrible giant lizard movies.

[highplainsdem]

60. Here's that music video...plus video from a Dutch TV show in 1977, where Bowie never looked more beautiful.
