Greatest Music Videos. Seriously.

One of my favorite sonsgs, and one of the coolest videos I've ever seen. Nice post.

 

I love Michael/Janet JAckson Scream
And I loved Trapped in the Closet 4 but not 1-3 or 5, nor 6-22.

Greatest music videos ever:

1) Sledgehammer
2) Buddy Holly
3) California Love
4) Touch of Grey5
5) Money for Nothing

 

You say that as if you are still in possession of it.

 

Don't make me dig into the old bag of tricks, Arnie. Just...don't.

 

Somebody mentioned Weezer's Keep Fishin' earlier...love this video, especially growing up as both a Muppets and Weezer fan.

 

Two Tribes by Frankie Goes to Hollywood (did Mike Tyson get the ear-biting idea from good ol' Ronnie? )

Just so happens Ronnie is parodied in this, too:
Land of Confusion by Genesis

By the Time I Get to Arizona by Public Enemy

Too bad YouTube doesn't have the video anymore (they do show bits of the video midway through the song). Cool song.
Reap the Wild Wind by Ultravox

Hungry Like the Wolf by Duran Duran

Stepping Out by Joe Jackson (this was on a non-stop loop, it seemed back then)

Stray Cat Strut by the Stray Cats (this was my band in 6th grade, the reason I wanted to learn the big bass in 7th grade. quit after a year because Miss Stetbacher and I clashed).

As someone else mentioned ... Photograph by Def Leppard, was the first charmion of MTV's Friday Night Video Fights. (held the title for 6 weeks).

One of Michael's many good ones: Billie Jean (he really was the shit back then; as good as there ever was, as good as there'll ever be).

Every Little Thing She Does is Magic by The Police

Jeopardy by the Greg Kihn Band

I'll be posting more ...

 

Man, "Fight Test" by the Lips is beautiful.

 

Duran Duran were early champs of the whole video thing, particularly "Girls On Film" which we used to wait for on Toronto Rocks which was our video source before MuchMusic came around.

I've seen a few mentions of Ultravox, one of my fave 80s bands. I had no idea they even did videos, but stuff like "Vienna", "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes", "Reap The Wild Wind" and especially "Sleepwalk" stand up as tremendous singles (that haven't been beaten to death) from that era.

 

Weird Al's cover of Kihn's Jeopardy video is quite a hoot.

The best of all time is this one: (hint, Stan Lynch is present)

 

Great call

 

Most of Weird Al's videos are a hoot.

 

another great one...
John Fogerty's Centerfield
