You want other opinions on good videos? Well, let's see...
Warning: many of these are hits from bygone days, so they show up only occa-
sionally these days. Some are current, though. My preference is for the so-
called "concept" videos, ones that tell a story, as if they were short films
with a one-song soundtrack.
These are listed by group. Songs by each group are given in order of
preference. A "*" indicates one I would put in a "Top 10" list.
Asia "???" *
Russ Ballard "Voices"
Pat Benatar "Get Nervous"*; "Precious Time"; "Love is a Battlefield"
Big Country "In a Big Country"
David Bowie "China Girl" *
Lindsay Buckingham "Go Insane"
The Cars "Magic"; "Drive"
Ronny James Dio "Last in Line"; "Holy Diver"
