I was watching VH1 Classic the other day as I do and these videos stuck out because they perpetuate so many 80's stereotypes and at the same time are so undeniably daggy.
Duran Duran personify 80's decadence. Cocktails and champagne on a 40 foot yacht in the Carribean with body painted ladies sliding across the deck, coloured telephones and Simon Le Bon's mane of blonde in this video for 'Rio' sum up the overindulgence and daggyness that make Duran Duran THE pop band of the 1980's. Any revival that has been staged by this band should be banned, Live 8 was embarassing for us all.
REO Speedwagon are quite possibly the worst looking band in the history of the world, and have made what is probabaly the worst film clip ive ever seen for 'Can't Fight This Feeling'. The poodle mullets, the poor computer effects of candles in windows and levitating roses, and the horrendous moustache smeared across the pianists face make for an amusing experience.
