A journey through the Top 100 videos of 1985. Tuesday, May 28, 2013. Set Your Flux Capacitors! On New Year's Eve, 1985, MTV broadcast a special countdown featuring the top 100 videos of the year.

1985 Music Videos: #3 - Broken Wings
http://1985musicvideos.blogspot.com/2013/05/3-broken-wings.html
A journey through the Top 100 videos of 1985. Monday, May 20, 2013. 3 - Broken Wings. Artist: Mr. Mister. Album: Welcome To The Real World. This is actually a pretty good song, and it took me all these years to realize it. For you see, back in 1985 I had a vague distaste for all things Mr. Mister. Perhaps it was because of that silly name. Lyrically, the song is a poetic mourning of a doomed relationship. The main hook of the chorus is borrowed from "Blackbird", one of the Beatles' most beautiful son...

1985 Music Videos: #1 - Money For Nothing
http://1985musicvideos.blogspot.com/2013/05/1-money-for-nothing.html
A journey through the Top 100 videos of 1985. Monday, May 27, 2013. 1 - Money For Nothing. Album: Brothers In Arms. It seems appropriate that MTV’s best video of 1985 would refer to the music video channel right there in the lyrics. We all wanted our MTV, and Dire Straits delivered it better than anyone else with this all-time classic. Dire Straits experienced a great deal of backlash with regards to some of the racier lyrics, especially the “little faggot” line which was edited out of most r...And as if...

1985 Music Videos: February 2013
http://1985musicvideos.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
A journey through the Top 100 videos of 1985. Sunday, February 17, 2013. 14 - One More Night. Album: No Jacket Required. It is appropriate that "One More Night" follows "Sussudio" immediately on this countdown, because these two songs are forever linked. Not only are they from the same album, but both songs also soared to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1985. I distinctly remember this song played during a montage of college basketball highlights around NCAA tournament time. The idea was that any tea...

A journey through the Top 100 videos of 1985. Wednesday, December 26, 2012. 23 - All She Wants To Do Is Dance. Album: Building The Perfect Beast. Video: After a 45 second commercial, you will be treated to this blurry video from DailyMotion. Which was hijacked from YouTube. Sweet Jebus. And yet, on this countdown it ranks forty-two places higher than the timeless classic “The Boys Of Summer”. Sigh. Their positions should be flipped. “All She Wants” is a decent song, b...It’s a song about a woman w...

1985 Music Videos: #2 - We Built This City
http://1985musicvideos.blogspot.com/2013/05/2-we-built-this-city.html
A journey through the Top 100 videos of 1985. Sunday, May 26, 2013. 2 - We Built This City. Album: Knee Deep In The Hoopla. Twenty years after their original formation as Jefferson Airplane, the band Starship ascended to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 with “We Built This City”. Nearly thirty years following that, confusion surrounds the song: is it awesome or horrible? If you google "we built this city worst song", many relevant websites will be returned. The vehement hatred expressed by many poste...

1985 Music Videos: March 2013
http://1985musicvideos.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
A journey through the Top 100 videos of 1985. Tuesday, March 26, 2013. Artist: Tears For Fears. Album: Songs From The Big Chair. According to the singers, “Shout” is an urging for people to speak out about social injustices. But it can also be interpreted as a direct expression of the primal scream, a form of psychotherapy created by Arthur Janov. The band’s name was inspired by Janov’s work. We're not done with Tears For Fears yet. We'll see them again before this blog is all said and done. The lofty p...

1985 Music Videos: July 2012
http://1985musicvideos.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
A journey through the Top 100 videos of 1985. Tuesday, July 31, 2012. 38 - Summer Of '69. This is the second time an artist has had back-to-back videos in the countdown. It will happen twice more before we're all done. Summer of '69" is a song that always gets me pumped, right from the driving guitar riff that starts it off. It conjures up the feeling of the best summer ever, the last one before you're forced to confront the responsibilities of adulthood. It peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. Here's ...
