The Minutemen are probably my favorite artists from the 1980s. They really weren't a rock-video-oriented band, but
here is one.
Other bands I loved in the 1980s included Naked Raygun (I recently saw them here in Minneapolis - they were still awesome), Big Black, Husker Du, Die Kreuzen, the Misfits/Samhain (not a big Danzig fan), Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Black Flag, early Butthole Surfers, very early Red Hot Chili Peppers (they started sucking right around the same time anyone knew who they were, and have been unlistenable for at least the last 14 years IMO, but their first 3 or 4 records were good), and some local Minneapolis bands that never achieved nationwide acclaim, including the Mighty Mofos and Otto's Chemical Lounge. IMO most mainstream music in the 1980s was crappy and I really didn't listen to much.
