From The Music Memoirs

Top 5 music videos from the 80s.
(Click the links to see the respective videos. Some of them are blocked from embedding. Sorry.)

» "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel
The stop-motion animation on this video is just amazing. The chalkboard roller coaster segment is my favorite.

» "Brothers In Arms" by Dire Straits
Grainy black and white film footage combines with penciled animation to create a visual experience as haunting as the lyrics.

» "Stranger In Town" by Toto
Another black and white video, this one a film noir-style crime story. "How can a man who's a criminal be a her to the kids?"

» "It's Tricky" by RUN-DMC
Yes, that's Penn & Teller running the Three-card Monte scam.

» "Thriller" by Michael Jackson
Perhaps the most influential music video of all time. No list of great videos, from the 80s or otherwise, is complete without this one.
