U2: All I Want Is You (1989)

U2 closes the 80s in style. The video for this work is based on 1951's "The Life and Death of George Wilson".

Don Henley: The Heart of the Matter (1989)

A song about longing, regret, and a cry for forgiveness. "The Heart of the Matter" is bittersweet and reminds me of the end of high school.

John Mellencamp: Hurts So Good (1982)

John Mellencamp, then known as John Cougar, scored three monster hits off his American Fool album. "Hurts So Good" reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the summer of '82 and #1 on the rock charts.

The Police: Wrapped Around Your Finger (1984)

Sting claims "Wrapped Around Your Finger" is about his life. Essentially, the protanganist turns the tables on person who believes they are in charge. The Police incorporate mythological images and Faust into the song. The music video is nearly ethereal and sets a mood.

Bruce Springsteen: Darlington County (1984)

A pair of young guys are driving along the county line looking for girls and work. In the end, Wayne ends up cuffed to the bumper of a state trooper's car. This song exudes youth and fun and is what rock n roll is about. It also marks Springsteen's cultural peak.
