My favorite videos of the 80's have to be the ones from Men At Work.

Down Under
Overkill
It's A Mistake
Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive

They have several more, but I couldn't find them.

Numanoid

My favorite Numan video, for a song that was ludicrously never released as a single (the video was made for a TV program): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSMQuL8vtUA

Here are all of my videos on YouTube. I only post rare vids that no one else has posted (at least to that point): http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=Numanoid

I'm actually in that video (in the crowd-shots anyways) - I was a junior in high school, and me and a few friends ditched, drove out to LA, because the radio station "leaked" that there would be a free show downtown.

William Fuld

XTC - Dear God

I will have to say thank you for the post. We were trying to make a good youtube 80's playlist for work and this will help out a lot THanks

Mondo Kane

I'm surprised this video (And song) didn't get more love:

APP-Don't Answer Me

BDB

Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy

Yazoo - Don't Go

And even Better

Human League - Don't You Want me Baby

I loved how the video's all told a story.

And a fun one which some of you may not have seen..

Tracy Ullman - They Don't Know with a cameo from Paul McCartney

A-aron

I think I love that song more than Take on Me.

serenitygirl

I recently found a Rick Springfield song from the 80s.

I just love watching this video. I wonder if this drummer would like watching him too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDYSrpcYvP8
He could be a better drummer if he actually watched another drummer play some good rock music. But why doesn't this puppet, Fash, not ahve a band? Then he'd have more girls screaming for him too.

Stillwater

The Vapors

B-52s - Roam

Thomas Dolby - Hyperactive

XTC - Wonderland

Numanoid

For everyone that thinks of a-ha as an '80s band, here's a recent single:
