This weekend marks the 25th anniversary of the MTV Video Music Awards, and to celebrate the occasion, the week’s Rock List features our favorite music videos from the decade where it all began: the 1980s. We’ve spent the last hour digging through YouTube to find our favorites, so now tell us yours. On Monday, if we’re not burned out by the VMA live-blogging, we’ll count the votes and reveal your picks. Now, for your viewing pleasure, our five favorites:
A-ha – “Take On Me”
(above)
Twisted Sister – “We’re Not Gonna Take It”
Paula Abdul – “Opposites Attract”
Metallica – “One”
Peter Gabriel – “Sledgehammer”
