The 80's had a lot of awesome... so it may take many many posts to truly illustrate the full spectrum of the 80's musical goodness...

But I think we've made a good go of it so far; don't you?

Man, this thread makes me think of High School now. Not quite American Pie worthy but still good times. Good times.

They actually had 52 videos of this song. They kept re-editing it every week for a year (there wasn't much for MTV to show back then, so they welcomed it). Sorry about the poor quality, it was the best I could find.

Born in early 70's and I didn't really know who YES was until the game HOMEWORLD.... amazing music!

The original was released in 1984, but this is the MOST amazing version of this song, and the artist is BY FAR one of the MOST UNDERSTATED guitarists EVER!

Nicely done...

There were others I could have picked from this artist during this decade, but this was co-written with Iggy Pop, so... had to go with this:

Oh, Baby; just you shut your mouth!

Steve Howe is one of the sickest SOB's I've ever heard and Tevor Rabin is a technical genius. I saw them on the Union tour with two guitarists, two drummers, two keyboardists a bass player and a singer. It even blew away the Queen shows I had seen, and that's not an easy task to accomplish.
