For those of us who didn't have MTV from the get go, we had to live with waiting for Friday Night Videos on NBC. Below is my top 5 list of videos that I would wait very impatiently to see when I was a kid.

Top 5 Exciting 80's Videos

5. Herbie Hancock Rockit (technology!)

4.tie- Twisted Sister We're Not Gonna Take It

& Van Halen Hot For Teacher

(both for their clever use of narration, lol)

3. Band Aid Do They Know Its Christmas (all those cool people together!)

2. Pat Benetar Love is a Battlefield (dancing and outfits)

1. Of course, is Michael Jackson Thriller (there was nothing else like it! it was a movie! and a video! and had Vincent Price's voice in it!)
