Eat it -Wierd Al
(He is so awesome on stage. :drool: )
Tainted Love -Marilyn Manson
Fire in the Disco -(can't remember the band)

The british music video ... CRAP! I can't remember the name of the band nor the song. It's the one where the guy wakes up to a trashed hotel room and finds a camera, starts to watch it and it cuts to him stalking some chick. Gah! I can't remember the name/song title...:mad:

...to name a few.

Muse - Hysteria (UK video edition)

Take on Me was my very first memorable video, but my all time fav has gotta be Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More". :cool:

Excellent point. Great video.

Thriller - ftw

God I wanted a red pleather jacket with fins so bad. Can you imagine a pasty, freckle-faced mick riding around on a Huffy with that shit on? Little kids are so gay.

I was in love with MJ once too, but now I'm just really sick of it all.

Anyone ever watch the movie that they use footage from in the video? Johnny Got His Gun. Very disturbing.

To paraphrase Joe Walsh, "Music should be listened to not watched."

I don't see why I can't listen to something and watch something at the same time. Music is used effectively in movies. Lots of bands choose imagery to go along with their music on stage, in videos, and in film. Some bands work with artists when creating their music. I like listening to music and getting my own imagery from it, but I like to see what other people get out of it too. Music videos are just someone else's interpretation, and I think that's okay to share with a willing audience.

Pink Floyd, The Gorillaz, U2, and The Grateful Dead are some of my favorite examples of what greatness can come from putting music and imagery together. So Joe Walsh can go suck an egg.

this is one of my current favorites. Supercar - Be. for a small bit NSFW but overall a pretty good video. For those not clicking because its something you may not understand, they sound like any other standard rock group just in Japanese.

translation for the words: (it pays to have Japanese friends sometimes)

Father that I owe so much to
Mother that I owe so much to
Sister that I owe so much to
Grandfather
Grandmother
Friend Friend's
Friend Friend's friend's friend
Boss at work
Highschool principal
Local convienient store clerk
Cafeteria lady
Ikitsuki family restaurant's waitress
Nurse from hospital
First love
The taxi driver from yesterday
That gaijin guy that asked me directions
The girl I did once
The guy that tried to do me once
That couple I see frequently
Jun Ideguchi (J-league soccer player)
Pet turtle
Alien I owe so much to
AV actress (pornstar) I owe so much to
Supercar
Wife (words after are plays on Useless, dosn't do shit, acts like an idiot)

I clicked, but I'm not sure I want to sign up for You Tube just so I can watch some Japanese people. Is it really worth it?
 
this was in the st pt times today:

No mere mortal can resist The Thriller
Speaking of Michael Jackson, here's something about the 80s we can all agree about: Thriller is the greatest music video of all time, right?

MTV tagged it with that honor in 1999, then in a bizarre fit of insanity named Madonna's Vogue as the second-best video. I think I threw a wine cooler bottle at the TV when I saw that ... umm, it wasn't my wine cooler. I'm sure it was a girlfriend's. (You gotta go with Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer, Duran Duran's Hungry Like the Wolf and a-Ha's Take on Me all before you consider ANY product by Madonna. Except maybe the pointy bra.)

If you want to rewatch some of the best videos, head over to Pitchfork Media's website. Click this link to see their list of the top 100 (alphabetically) with links to each individual video. And then curse yourself for throwing away the next five hours of your life. (Nah, it was worth it.) Click here to see the full 15-minute of Thriller.

So do I really need to present an argument for Thriller? Puleeze. It co-starred a former Playboy centerfold (Ola Ray). John Landis directed it, just two years after his American Werewolf in London masterpiece. The video didn't debut until more than a year after the album was released. Even the video "The Making of Michael Jackson's Thriller" sold tens of millions of copies.

"The making of Madonna's Vogue"? I don't think so.

Stay tuned to your computer and iPod for more Michael Jackson trivia and music as Stuck in the 80s records its "Thriller" episode this week.
