OT: My 80's MTV Video Crush
- Thread starter ChiefJusticeMarshall
- Start date
Even today she’s amazing looking.
I’ll shift to more recent and include Paz Lenchantin. Watched her the whole time during the Pixies Concert - being almost as cool as Kim deal
Her pulling up hair mid song in this video just slays me .
Belinda Carlisle
I cannot believe how great she still looks at what, 66??
There is only one right answer.
All worthy candidates. My choice is Aimee Mann of Til Tuesday. Honorable mention to Linda Ronstadt way back in the day.
Tawny Kitaen...what I wouldn't have given to have her dance provocatively on my 1972 Buick Station Wagon.
Yes on Aimee Mann. She still looks great. Married to Spicoli and Nice Guy Eddie's brother.
So many from back then. I used to think Debbie Gibson was my dream girl. But she didn’t age well at all….like AT ALL. And I went to Pitt with a couple guys a few years later who knew of her from HS in Long Island, NY and they said Gibson was known as the “head” of the class.
What was the name of the girl from Colin Quinn’s game show on mtv? Carly something? I always thought she was hot. I can’t think of the name of the game show either.
Back to this girl from The Smith’s video. Do we think Morrissey banged her? Do we really think he was cellibate/A sexual as he claimed he was? I knew a girl very well who bartended at Metropol. She was self proclaimed Morrissey’s biggest fan and she claims to have spent the night with him.
Kari Wuhrer. loved her..
Kari Wuhrer. MTV’s remote control.
Off the top of my head, besides remote control, i can think of only two movies she's been in, "Thinner" she played the gypsy girl and Higher Learning..
Looked it up, she's been in like 50 movies, none of which you've heard of. Beastmaster 2, sharknado 3 type movies. She was good for some tv spots too, was in 90210 and married with children..
That was a great show back in the day.

This x 1,000!!! My God, I can’t even imagine how many times I watched the Take On Me video. Her name is Bunty Bailey. Her, and Martha Quinn from MTV.Also....
She and Martha never did it for me.
Speaking of VJ’s, just heard a story about Mark Goodman and David Lee Roth doing countless blows of coke on the Hollywood strip, spending the entire night in the bathroom, and the only thing that saved their arrest when the club was raided was Roth throwing the vials of cocaine out the bathroom window.
I know I know…tame story in the rock music world. But the Martha Quinn reference made me think of it.

She was also on the sci-fi TV show "Sliders" in the mid to late 90s.
If you like Kari you might wanna watch the movie Spiders Web.
Do the 70s count?
Linda Carter is insane.
Natalie Merchant before/after the Maniacs hit it big. I thought she was poor man’s Susanna Hoffs.
Huge crush on Nancy Wilson from Heart.

GoGo's, one of the most under-rated bands of all time. But they are in HOF now I believe so I guess I can't really say they are under-rated anymore.
Belinda was/is incredible. Hard to believe her and the rest of the band were raging drug addicts. Maybe that gave them the inspiration? I was shocked to learn that as they came across as this all-american girl next door group back in the day. Kudos to them for eventually cleaning up their act before it ruined their lives.

I seem to remember that there was someone different on season one, who was hotter? I think that picture might be the replacement from season 2? But it was a long time ago.....I'm sure it is out there somewhere on google to confirm.
this would actually be a pretty good OT topic....covers that were better than the originals. This version is way better than Paul Simons. And one more, Van Halen , You really got me, blows the Kinks away.
But I don't want to hijack Owt's thread so please don't add anymore, lol.
She is amazingly hot and I still love this song, one of my all time favorite covers.
The one that just came to mine is Johnny cash doing Dylan’s “it ain’t me
Babe “
Actually most any Dylan cover is almost always better
