Am busy watching VH1 were it is Top 100 Worst Videos Day and of the 11 or so I've seen so far 10 have been from the 80s, including Danii, Freez, Marilyn and Bonnie Tyler, the only one that hasn't been from the 80s was Crazy Frog's "Pop Corn" :haha:
How could Kylie's "Locomotion" even feature on the list ???? ( It is number 35 Sad ) Rah Band, Rick Astley, Styx, Imagination have all featured so far Sad But I guess it is not the music but the videos that count in this one...

What is the worst video ever ? I suspect The Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star" but I hope it is Whitney's rip-off of "I'll always Love you" or Celine Dion's song from that ship movie...

They're broadcasting MC Hammer's "Pray" at the moment at number 33, great song, pity my back is facing the TV so I can't see it...
Looking forward to knowing what other ones are mentioned.
Thanks Jangar.
