Hard Times You Had Before You

Chalk up today's music video flashback to another group trying their hand at some sort of Indiana Jones / safari themed video. The graphics and set is awesomely 80's bad as is the acting and the pointlessness to the video. Gotta love the 80's and gotta love today's cheesy video from the rock group Asia. Here is their top 10 hit from 1983 entitled "Don't Cry"...

And Now You Find Yourself in '82

Today's video makes me dizzy and tends to give me a headache if I stare at it too long... making their debut in The Excellent 80's is a supergroup made up of former members of of veteran progressive rock bands Yes, King Crimson, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Uriah Heep, U.K., Roxy Music, Wishbone Ash and The Buggles... it is Asia with "Heat of the Moment"...
