Top10: Hottest 1980s Hard Rock Videos
Financial Markets are going crazy, currencies are jumping up and down, fear of recession is influencing behaviors, and all of that makes me want to think back to the good ol’ 1980s. Ok, I wasn’t even a teenager in the 1980s, but I remember how cool and sometimes freaky my cousins were back then. So, I studied the 1980s a bit and started liking the pop culture of that era. That is why I will be posting Top10s of the past on a regular basis just to distract our worrying minds for a bit. I already posted the Top10: Worst Fashion Trends ever and today, I assembled my Top10: Hottest 1980s Hard Rock Videos.

Warning: My #10 of the Hottest 1980s Hard Rock Videos is Die Ärzte’s video for “Sie Tun Es” (Engl.: “They do it”). It is a great (and explicit) video, which apparently was used for Sex-Ed classes in German schools. In my opinion, simply a great idea. I would have loved to be taught Sex-Ed by pop idols in high school. Please only click on the following link if you’re 18+. And, I am not responsible for the content outside this blog.
