Year: 1981
One of the strange rumours that followed Adam & the Ants front man Adam Ant (at least in my school at the time) was that he was secretly blind. Blind as a bat, the rumour stated. We all wondered how he could move around in this music video, and the explanation was that he had an exceptional spacial memory to guide him and a god given intuition. To say that it was silly would be an understatement.. Anyway, it is a good song and Adam made girls knee-weak.
Memory pool
So what makes a song from this era important? I could argue that all songs are sublime compositions or that the videos are ground breaking, but it wouldn't be true. Closer to the truth would be: "because I think so".
Get your daily 80's fix and, if you like, share some of your memories with the rest of us.
See you!

P.S. In case you have any of the videos on the list in a decent quality, I
would appreciate if you get in touch with me.
