^^For the kids out there who haven't heard the story, "Video Killed the Radio Star" is the very first video that MTV played when they went on the air (not that I had the channel at that point). (And yes, MTV used to play music videos.)
My friends and I went to a Halloween party dressed as these guys back in 1982 [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RxBHRZpIdg[/yt] [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZynIhCs27Xs[/yt] [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEtbfzMLVWU[/yt]
I love the Stray Cats. The 80's were also big for Windham Hill and New Age artists. Liz Story was a favorite pianist from that crowd. [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBWLPdZEwKY[/yt]

Before Crazy. Before The Matrix. [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqyIaNWP0T0[/yt] Rush, Rush Oh No!!! 1991!!! Forever Your Girl 1988 [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pyxKqdtrH8[/yt] Forever Your Girl Honestly I'd break music up by 1945-54, 1955-64, 1965-74, 1975-84, 1985-94...etc.
'In the Dark' is a favorite, one of the few things my mom and I ever agreed on, The Dead. [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khLrjxhvzaQ[/yt] [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9few40vekpw[/yt]
Cool. Near my school there was a small bar in Northampton alled 'The Iron Horse' (which has since become something else that cranky coots might bemoan) which in the day was small, crowded and delightfully intimate for solo artists to play. I saw Liz Story there an arm's reach away. She was funny and very entertaining.
But not before Bill & Ted. And yeah, 1991 is totally off-topic: [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTWKbfoikeg[/yt]
Nirvana... [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beCnsq4gCRo[/yt] Anorexorcist They ripped their sound from bands from mid 70's till mid 80's.
"Ripped"? Were influenced by, perhaps...just as the Beatles were influenced by the early rock 'n' roll of the 50s. But both bands were paradigm-changers in their respective eras.
Fair enough....Anyway, here's a (barely) decade-appropriate Paula Abdul video: [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xweiQukBM_k[/yt]
