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
Devo- Love Without Anger

Those Judas Priest videos had prepared 18-year-old Christian well when he moved to San Francisco.

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.
