Subdivisions by Rush

Take A Look At Me Now (Against All Odds) by Phil Collins

I used to love to watch Yo! MTV Raps, hosted by Fab 5 Freddy

 

I remember liking:

Bust a Move, Young MC

Hey Ladies, Beastie Boys

The Humpty Dance, Digital Underground

Brooklyn Queens, 3rd Bass

eta: and how could I forget I'm Not Havin It by MC Lyte and Postive K...also Kid N Play, did anyone else love House Party 2: The Pajama Jam with Queen Latifah?

 

Remember Rico Suave by Gerardo? That video is hilarious.

 

I listened to a lot of classic rock at the time too, and didn't really have videos to watch for those. Had to watch movies like A Hard Day's Night and Quadrophenia instead, lol.
