Best music videos

[csilke]

Hi guys and gals

One of the music TV channels here had a segment called 'Ultimate 50 Best Videos Ever' recently. I only caught the end but the top ten were:

10. Robbie Williams - Angels
9. Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out Of My Head (an 'interesting' costume )
8. Michael Jackson - Billie Jean
7. Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Comapares 2U (now this is a truly great video)
6. Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive
5. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit (I think I must be missing something about this video )
4. Michael Jackson - Thriller (a classic)
3. Elvis Presley - Suspicious Minds (more of a novelty video really)
2. Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody (my personal #1)
1. John Lennon - Imagine (fairly ordinary video really)

Don't know how they came up with the list but it seems a bit quirky. I mean what about Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer and (from last year) Eric Prydz's Call On Me had a *very* memorable video.

what about Dire Straits, Money for Nothing

Yeah you're right, that's a great video. I wonder where that was in their top 50 - or perhaps they didn't think it was appropriate viewing for a music TV channel

Cool...I haven't seen most of those though.

Tool Sober. Also, one of my top songs

That list is horrid.

The fact that November Rain isn't on there and Thriller isn't No. 1 completely ruins the credibility of that trash.

Well, I didn't think it was quite that bad.

The fact that November Rain isn't on there and Thriller isn't No. 1 completely ruins the credibility of that trash.

Discounting both Elvis and John Lennon as those a clearly not great videos leaves Thriller no.2 behind Bohemian Rhapsody. Personally I would agree with that but that is because I remember the impact Bohemian Rhapsody had when it was first released. I can see why people without that background wouldn't rate it as highly.
November Rain - another great video. I'm still puzzled how they managed to get at least 4 obviously not great videos in the top 10 when there are so many really great videos to choose from.
