There is little doubt that the 80s has left its mark in contemporary society, in particular, music. Put simply, 80s songs were some of the craziest songs ever made. One of the main reasons why they are still so memorable are the strange yet innovative videos which accompanied a lot of the songs.

The 80s were the dawn of the MTV era which has grown to become such a juggernaut today. Artists such as Michael Jackson, Wham and Madonna successfully used music videos to leave their mark. All of these artists were also at their peak during this era and continue to influence contemporary artists.
