DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... Music Videos

I'm not very successful linking videos, but I used to really like Headbanger's Ball and 120 Minutes.

Great track from the Ozzman. Never a "great" singer, but an incredible performer with some iconic songs that spanned more than the genre the industry pigeon-holed him into.

I pretty much agree with your opinion on him. I sang as a front man/singer in bands for decades. I consider Ozzy the best front man of all time.

You must love The Power Station videos then.

How about Dire Straits pretty much kicking off MTV:

One of my favorite bands:

Man, I heard Sister Christian on the radio about a week ago. I remember all but hating the song because of the insane amount of airplay back in the day. All these years removed I'm thinking "wow, what an incredible song".

My favorites are Rock in America and Don't Tell Me You Love Me... great band.

They are still putting out new albums today. They have had to go to an Italian recording/management company though.

It's a shame that so many rock bands had to go to Italy to create new music. Frontier Records has tons of classic rock talent putting out new music, and Night Ranger is one of them. Styx also put out a new album in the past few years, as have many other classic bands.

Rock is still very popular in Japan, and throughout Europe. Unfortunately, all too often we get empty headed pop in the states. (or twangy country)

And see, in my world Night Ranger is pop. Pretty good. But pop music.

This thread needs another dose of The Obvious:

Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar On Me

Some of their hits are more pop oriented .... but they rock out too.

The reason Night Ranger broke up in the 80s was that their label wanted more ballads, and that was not what they wanted to be.

Jack Blades (co-lead singer and bass) went on to play (and sing) with Damn Yankees for several years, before rejoining Night Ranger. Actually, Night Ranger did release one poor selling album with Gary Moon as the lead. (which I actually thought was OK, it just wasn't Night Ranger) The real Night Ranger then reunited afterwards.

As an aside, go listen to Ozzie Osbourne's "Speak of the devil" Live album, and you'll hear Night Ranger's guitarist Brad Gillis on lead. (after the death of Randi Rhoads, and before Night Ranger released their 1st album)

Back on track:

I don't know if this was the MTV version or not, but its a great song and a great video, imo. (I admit to not understanding the CGI skating babies at the end, but whatever.)

Take on Me by Aha

j/c:

Some of my favs have already been posted. I'll go in another direction that might even upset some folks. LOL

But yeah, I like this:

This one isn't flashy, but the setting goes nicely w/the music and the music is indeed----divine.

There are a number of excellent examples. I've been holding back because I didn't want to swamp the boards. Everyone deserves participation trophies in this thread.

But, along those same lines, there is also this one. Iconic- and truly creative/original.

I remember when it was in heavy rotation. Every single time it came on, I would stop whatever I was doing... it was that captivating.

Not the greatest song, but when I think of music videos, it's hard not to think about this one:

And then return to the scene of the crime -- 45 years later. Still wringing every last drop of passion out of his instrument.

It's kinda crazy, but I watched that video earlier tonight. Great stuff.

Aw man .... running through these videos and I came across a Boz Scaggs video from his official account ...... and he's playing Canton October 29th.

If my back is well enough to travel (having an epidural in a few weeks) I'm going.

I actually expected to come back and see this one posted. But no.....



Who said that Aerosmith won't help a brother out?

I was a junior in high school when Britney Spears' video dropped. Minds were lost and every girl was suddenly wearing catholic school girl outfits. Fun times!....

I remember being in like 6th grade and thinking she was the hottest thing i’d Ever seen lol
