#4

I love the Eagles as a group, but when Don Henley went solo I didn't mind it one bit because he came up with some great stuff including this gem at #4 on The Excellent 80's Countdown of its' favorite 80 videos/songs of the 80's.
The song and video have a very nostalgic feel with the black and white shots, and also a very nostalgic sound to it, and that's one of the reasons I love it especially every September when this song seems most applicable. Even though today's song only reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, the video won Video of the Year by MTV in 1985 (back when MTV played music videos and only had one station). Don Henley is just cool in this video and this song is still cool to this day.
