Of all time..?

Noteworthy: #74 "Come To Daddy" (Aphex Twin - brilliant) and #14 "Sabotage" (Beastie Boys).

Also, what do you do with 8 walking exercise machines? Easy! Make a great music video:

Very nice idea,...
but I think the ranking is made by some children.
There is substantial lack in 60s 70s and 80s. (IMHO)

Could be that there just weren't that many music videos in the 60s, 70s and 80s

In fact, lets just forget the 80s 'cos music then was, quite frankly, pants.

I loved MTV in the eighties and now it's shite.It's funny how videos get better as television programs get worse gets worse.Maybe it's just me,I think my attention span is ...........What was I saying.

I think a quote from Buggles may be relevant here

' video killed the radio star '

They do have songs from the 80ties, (Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer), however they don't have many good ones, (Pink Floyd, Depeche Mode, New Order, Enigma has good music video, and many others).
And the number one sucks in my oppinion, I'd rather put "Bjork - All is good" on top (given that list!)
But I agree with Stardust.

BTW, here in Chicago, we get The Tube (not to be confused with You Tube) on a HD channel.

some friends of mine run the band Bazooka during the early 80's.
There was a 'suicidal tendency' in their music, and some national exposure with a few releases was their part.
Theo Hoek, inspirator of the band, makes his living as a composer these days, he still loves atonalities and time experiments

Got a message today saying one of their videos is on YouTube now, here's the link:

would like to re-master the soundtrack, I let him know it already

Check out the Coldcut videos on Ninjatunes. Some of them have to be contenders in a top 100 list. Most of them are total class, but in particular the <a href="http://www.ninjatune.net/videos/video.p ... Everything is under control'</a> vid does it for me. Not the best tune of the bunch to my taste, (I prefer something like <a href="http://www.ninjatune.net/videos/video.p ... 103">'Just for the kick'</a> ) but still a quality video!! You could probably pick at least 3 or 4 out of their video catalogue that would meret a place

Vincent Gallo's Brown Bunny!
Simple, cheap but full of atmosphere.

I notice that 'Smack my bitch up' by the Prodigy didn't make it in that top 100 list. That would be in my top 100 videos for sure, but I suppose it was banned in many countries. I remember seeing it in Holland before it got banned there too (if I remember right) & thinking WTF? can we see that again please?
