80's Vidoeography
Van Halen is one best bands during the 80's. Their front man David Lee Roth was preety crazy. This also gives you a sense of Rock sounded during this time period. I am still waiting for the Reunion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX2CyIH_ebE

Prince is one of our modern day music legends. His music encompass every thing in the musical sphere. He also has some of the most explicit lyrics ever committed to record. The first video shows his funkier side and dancing ability. The other video is from his movie Purple rain and has a more rock flavor to it. http://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?artist=14481&vid=112992

Michael Jackson will go down in history as one of the great music innovators of our time. His song thriller was good but, when he made the video thriller it went though the roof. He laid the ground work for all modern videos not to mention Thriller sold more than 20 million copies.

These two videos are from the late 80's rap music scene. The first one is from Run-Dmc. It is also interesting because it shows how Hip-Hop is a global phenomenon. The second is from Public Enemy. There you see what a live rap show is during this time period.
