Peter Gabriel's "Biko" and The Specials' "Free Nelson Mandela" opened my eyes to what was going on in South Africa as an early teen. And then Artists United Against Apartheid's "Sun City". Education is best served with a rhythm. xo

I loved Peter Gabriel’s 1986 Sledgehammer! For the time, the graphics and animation were quite revolutionary. Of course, now you look back and say it was a 80s thing:)

It probably remains the greatest rock music video of all time. And a comic song, really, quite funny -- which is rare.
