As a youngster of 80’s let me put it that way. There were some exceptional, kind of good videos in that era. Like the very good and interesting video of “Money for Nothing”
Keeping in mind this was one of the better, even revolutionary videos of that time, most regular videos were beyond the terrible.
For example “Separate Ways” by Journey is an epitome of the era for me. The music is marvelous, lyrics are very good for a love song. But the video, well, I mean I am out of words to describe how bad it is. See for yourself…
