NFT: Favorite music videos of all time?

Maybe Take Me Out by Franz Ferdinand

Andrew Wk - We want fun

VH 1984

And you all know why

I’ll throw in Money For Nothing- Dire Straits. A personal fave would be Centerfold- J. Geils. I guess because I was young and libidinous.

also Black Hole Sun

Gypsy started the trend of "story telling" music videos.

YES! Hot For Teacher is my favorite all time.

for Puscifer - Potions was great. Fit the liquid television era really well.

"Land of confusion" by Genesis. Gold standard.

Fell in Love with a Girl by the White Stripes was a classic video.

but Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson still stands out.

Land of Confusion by Genesis and Wynonna's Big Brown Beaver by Primus

but it seems like no collection of music videos would be complete without "Thriller."

Dire Straits.

.

Sabotage.

I'm going with Cradle of Love by Billy Idol or Freedom by George Michael.

Stevie Nicks looks so good in that red dress!

Plus the video is awesome!

Hot Rockin'- Judas Priest
Jeopardy- Greg Kihn

With that video and their whole Irish image, I always thought they were from NY or Boston. Was kind of hilarious to discover they were from LA.

If you want to make her think, check out Pearl Jam's 'Do the Evolution ', linked below.

I went to a work event that Robin Thicke was the entertainment at a year before that song resurrected his career. He had fallen off stage in sound check and knocked out a tooth. The vocals were stunningly funny.

Then that video comes out and introduces the world to the objectively best looking woman who has ever lived.

Aerosmith -Crazy

And

Sam Kinison - Wild Thing

Sledge is legit and I'll add this one to boot.


Weezer... - ( New Window )

1. White snake-Hear I go again on my own, Tawney Kitaen on the hood of a car

2. Madonna- Open your heart, I was 8, but knew for some reason I liked that video

3. Cher-If I could turn back time. Cher in a thong and the 16" guns of the USS Missouri.

Right Now

“Last in line” was awesome. Some kid takes an elevator that goes a little too deep, all the way to hell.

Call On Me

It’s My Life. Gwen was on top of her game for that one.

Don't Change

Fatboy Slim.

by the Cranberries in terms of powerful imagery.

I believe one of the three of them is Serbian.

played at my college's Spring Weekend in the 90's, it was about as awful as you would expect.
