Help me find this music documentary

The post on Genesis the other day reminded me about a TV documentary series I saw which focused on a different band's video clips each week. I'm pretty sure Genesis and Duran Duran were both covered. Googling hasn't helped me. Initially I thought it might have been Classic Albums, but they never covered Genesis. Does anyone know what series this might have been?

Was this the 1980s on USA, or in the 1990s in syndication? If so, you may be talking about Night Flight. They used to do profiles of bands that would last an hour, showing a bunch of their music videos with commentary in-between. They also used to show weird short films and screwy comedy bits and old movies. The format seemed to be, "If it's awesome, it's in the show." I caught the syndicated version in the 1990s, and looking at the Wikipedia page now makes me kind of sick I missed years and years of the show. The budding little weirdo me of 1980-something would have been so, so into this show.
