Description:

The 1980s may be remembered for a lot of things--Reagan, Tiananmen Square, the genius of Miami Vice--but music probably won't be foremost among them. Still, the decade did have its guilty pleasures, some of which can be found right here on this 14-song, 58-minute DVD. ABC ("The Look of Love"), Asia ("Heat of the Moment"), Swing Out Sister ("Breakout"), Night Ranger ("Sister Christian"), Berlin ("No More Words"): let's face it, no hall of fame will be shining up a plaque for them (or anyone else featured here, except perhaps Squeeze, whose soulful "Tempted" stands out amid all the fluffy synth-pop) anytime soon. So the songs are generally about as memorable as your last potato chip, and the videos are pretty lame by the technical standards of the 21st century. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy Tears for Fears to your heart's delight--just keep it to yourself. --Sam Graham
