Best of the 80s: Music Videos


a-ha, Manhattan Skyline, 1986

Listen to the music of your choosing and watch this in 720p HD, if you can.

Coolest 80s Commercials: Nestle’s Alpine White, 1989

This video only reinforces my opinion that the 80s was the last era of great commercial jingles. When else would a candy bar commercial sound like a mash-up of Duran Duran, Depeche Mode & Tears for Fears??

Thank you to Imremembering for posting the later commercial for this candy bar…had I not seen that, I wouldn’t have remembered this older one!

Best Fan-Made Music Video Ever: “ROYGBIV” by Boards of Canada, video edited by Youtube user Berryrdell from Cardiff, UK.

This is one of the few good fan-made videos I’ve ever seen, and probably the very best one of all. It was composed out of 80s UK TV advertisements.
