Innovations have always been exciting. One such innovation is that of the music video. In the 1980′s some of the best experimentation was done to create wild music videos to songs now gone classic on the radio. While some of these were expensive to make, it wasn’t until the 1990′s when artists got the idea to make million dollar music videos for publicity and showmanship. However, it’s the low-key music videos of the 1980s that most enjoy.

With the invention of DVD, now it’s possible to own your favorite ’80s music videos and watch them over and over again. Unlike the totally ’80s invention of the VCR, a DVD allows you to play a song at any time and skip through with ease without having to rewind and wait for the tape to queue up. Popping in a DVD of ’80s music videos – whether hard rock, punk rock or some other genre – is great because it brings you back and lets you bask in a wave of nostalgia.

Unfortunately, many of the channels that used to play music videos 24/7 in the ’80s and at least 12 hours during the ’90s now play short thirty second snippets of music videos every now and then during commercial breaks or during the end credits of a show. It’s unfortunate how these things happen. But, with DVD you can now relive the best thing to come out of the ’80s over and over again.
