Green Day Makes for a Sunny Day

I've kept up with Green Day since Dookie.  They still rock and they're still awesome.  The drums in Know Your Enemy are fabulous.

You Can Almost Smell the Drakkar Noir

Animotion's Obsession is the epitome of an 80s video - not so attractive singers, a Miami Vice jacket,  nonsensical happenings (at 2:01, there's this bizarre scene with the guitarist and someone in a space suit on the bed of a cheap hotel room), basically the bands only hit, and lots and lots of synth.  Synth goodness, that is.

Fun note:  Astrid Plane is the female lead singer's name.

The Sharif Does Like It

Before Combat Rock, before the armadillo, before the Casbah, before deciding whether to stay or go, the Clash  was the only band that mattered.
