Two Things...

Ok, first, found via a friend of a friends journal..

http://www.1500videos.com/

Hmmm....Ok, few videos I remember. And of course the meme brain says "Find a couple you like, and post the links to them" And now, PREPARE to be transported to my memory.

Hell, at this rate, I should just go through and watch them all. :-P Still, enjoy.

Got a music video that you haven't seen in ages? It may well be here.

Second, that got me thinking of Internet History. AGES ago, there was a "soap" of sorts online, called "The Spot". Does anyone else remember that one, or am I just going crazy again? :-P

You are EVIL. I just watched "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister...a true classic video if there ever was one. I could sit & browse that for hours!!! It's all your fault!!! :)

*heh* Blame has been cast appropriately. The first two are what made me dig deeper.

Do you have any idea how weird it is to watch the "Toy Soldiers" video, 17 years later?

And, even better, finding out that Martika has new music out, and "The Spot" wasn't my imagination? Wikipedia told me both of those facts. :-P

Martika has been going strong, even though that was her only major US hit.

For weirdness, watching "99 Luftballons" is pretty well on that list, too. I couldn't make myself watch "The Final Countdown" (Europe), even though I love the song.

I did, however, happily watch "And We Danced" by The Hooters, though. :)

The video quality is low and the sound sucks..... and I love it. I've
already spent an hr watching. Damn you Per ;-)
Takes me back to when you could actually watch music videos on MTV.

"99 Luftaballons" takes me back, but CHESS! I had forgetten that video. It's so... so... queer to see it again.
Still, you missed the most important video of the 80's; who can have Mtv withouth the buggles.

True, I had forgotten that.

The Chess one I had completely forgotten about, having only gotten into the musical a few months ago thanks to a friend, and I saw some that I didn't think should be there, so I wonder if they "rotate" them in and out on occasion.

[per_solo]

Yes, damn me. It was way cool, I could waste hours there, and all I did was waste a half hour going "Ok, must put a link to that up". :-)

I miss MTV and VH1 of days long gone.

And the answer is " The Wayback Machine "

Not much archived but it was real ;-)

*nod* I also saw its sordid little history here, but hadn't thought to check the Archive/Wayback Machine (I have that site bookmarked too, just in case).

I swear, this site has something on EVERYTHING. :-)
