Def Leppard - Photograph 1983
Lead singer Joe Elliott has said that this song was written as a tribute to Marilyn Monroe. Produced by Mutt Lange, Photograph catapulted Def Leppard up the US music charts and was one of the most requested music videos on MTV in 1983.
George Harrison - Got My Mind Set on You 1987
The last number one hit for the former Beatles guitarist George Harrison. I think this is one of the coolest videos from the '80s. This video was nominated for 3 MTV video music awards.

Little River Band - Reminiscing 1978
Little River Band was one of the first successful Australian rock groups to make the charts in the US. This song hit the charts and made it all the way up to number 3, and the album "Sleeper Catcher" went platinum in 1979. Not bad for the band from down under.

Timex Social Club - Rumors 1986
What can be said about this song? Well, I think it has one of the coolest beats ever, but for some reason this band never went on to do much else after this. This song was a top ten hit but was off of their one and only album release. Apparently their producer at the time, Jay King, decided in 1987 to replace the entire band and start over. The new band he created was Club Nouveau, and the rest is history.

Toto - Africa 1983
How cool is Toto? Well, this isn't one of the best videos around but the song more than makes up for it. After all the song went to number one in 1983 and the album "Toto IV" won 6 Grammy Awards so they must have done something right.
