Pink - Who Knew and Just Like A Pill

Pink is one of those artist's who jumps between rock and pop on a regular basis. Her latest single, Who Knew, is more pop than rock, but it's a good song. My favorite video and song from her was her 2002 single, Just Like a Pill. It's a good rock/pop song, and I love her dark look in the video. Enjoy both videos!

Def Leppard - Rock On and Photograph

I loved Def Leppard back in the 80's. They put on an awesome live show. I didn't even know they did a cover of this song until I found the video today. It's their version of David Essex's song, Rock On. It's an okay version, but it's a far cry from their heyday when they belted out hits like 1983's Photograph. Enjoy both videos!

Poison - What I Like About You and Talk Dirty To Me Music Videos

80's Glam Rockers Poison just released a new album featuring covers of classic rock songs. The first single from the album is a cover of the Romantics' What I Like About You. I've gotta give them credit, it's a pretty good version of the song. They've come a long way from their beginnings when they released their first album, Look What the Cat Dragged In, back in 1986. Their first big hit from that album was Talk Dirty to Me.

If you loved the 80's rock scene as much as me, you might enjoy my other blog, 80sRockVideos.com. Enjoy both videos!
