lampard10 Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Duran Duran..........the one where they were on different levels, with wheels and whips and things was brilliant, but my all time favourite was from Norwegian group A-HA; Take on Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

350torana Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Although he ain't the most popular guy around nowadays, it is hard to go past Michael Jackson . His music vidoes set the standard and ushered in the mtv generation. Thriller was ok, I always liked " The way u make me feel " and the one were he turns into a panther and dances/trashes the rednecks car ? hmmm it was a long time ago . Apart from that... " give it away " Chilli Peppers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkmadness Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Aphex Twins, dont know the names, but one of them is the one with the freaky faced kids running around the estates. I was gonna mention that A HA "Take on me" as well, always stands out since I watched it as a kid. New Gorrilaz tune got a great video as well coz I'm a fan of Hewletts art. Smashing Pumpkins "Tonight" Chemical Brothers I think "Supertsar DJ" where they are all on E and its the skeletons dancing? Marvin Gaye "Whats going on?" - not sure about this though as don't know if it was the original version I have seen. Is it the video which shows all the political unrest in America? I've a great memory for videos but terrible with names so some of these may be wrong, sorry bout that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeranam Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I have some great memories of music videos. I remember a David Bowie(Ashes to Ashes) one that played non-stop in a a bar with a brand new video duke-box. Coincedentally this song was played non-stop in a bar on the normal duke box when I started drinking at the age of 15 in 1980. Must have been around this time, maybe a few years later that I used to spend every Saturday afternoon in a bar watching the video kukebox. Ones I remember well are Eurymics(who came from the same town as me, well Annie did) "Sweet dreams". Later on again, Robert Palmer(addicted to love), wow that was a powerful song that changed music videos. So has to be Ashes to ashes(in which Bowies mother made a cameo appearance at the end) Sweet Dreams Addicted to love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxexile Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 the peter gabriel song (cant remember the name) where he is lying on the ground and he sort of morphs into something else , its done with time lapse. all his videos were impressive. frank zappa , "city of tiny lites" , using plasticine and time lapse. its rarely shown but its spellbinding. of todays videos , the song "idiot walk" , cant remember the name of the band , where the singer walks spiderman like up a wall decorated like a scrabble board.

The Gentleman Scamp Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 BESTEST VIDEOS THAT I CAN THINK OF The Avalanches - Frontier Psychiatrist Robert Palmer - Addicted To Love Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer Robbie Williams - She's The One The Beautiful South - Can't remember Madness - Wings Of A Dove Fatboy Slim - Can't remember Chemical Brothers - That one with the skeletons in and the other one with that girl WORST VIDEOS Anything by U2, just like most of their SHIT and over rated songs. Although 'Numb' from the Zooropa album was both a good song and video but it was sung by The Edge who is a <deleted> same as Bono. I'm not, I'm a good songwriter see, and I don't take myself too seriously and neither would my videos were I ever to 'make it' which I won't 'cause I quit too easy and can't focus to save my life.

Jai Dee Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 Not a lot of technical video footage, but a fun video that I liked: Walk This Way - Run DMC and Aerosmith For great visual effects at the time: Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel And for sheer musical magic: Money For Nothing - Dire Straits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 (edited) Videos and favorite music are not necessarily the same for me. That being said, favorite videos: Michael Jackson: Billy Jean and Thriller - pretty much started the video era. A-ha: Take on me - unforgettable. Madonna: Her short blond haircut days. Say what you will, but her videos back then were hot. David Bowie: I will watch and listen to anything he does. The Clash: anything The Sugarcubes: early Bjork Jay-Z: 99 problems but a bitch ain't one - ok, the lyrics are hardcore, but the video is fcking art. It was also made in my cousins' housing project. *Edit: Oh yeah, cannot forget: Chili Peppers: Give it away, and, Under the Bridge Henry Rollins: Liar Beck: his current video have to stop now, too addictive **edit: I said I would stop, but I can't because I forgot one of the best: The Beastie Boys: Sabotage - and just about everything else Edited June 28, 2005 by kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe get U2 "Live at Red Rocks" if you missed the early stuff?? Btw, surprised you left Morrisey off your list?? Anyways, here's a few that come to mind: Fat Boy Slim-Weapon of choice (Christopher Walkin rockin to pure genius)Link is here Doors- LA Woman (ok, a collage rather than a video but classic gutteral JM rock) Queen- Bohemian Rhapsody (1975, did it start the 'modern' trend? Kate Bush- running up the hill (the amazing rainmaking thingy with Donald Sutherland) ACDC- Thunderstruck (pure energy build- if they did a vid for TNT, I'd choose that instead. OI!! Cure- Close to me (the coffin filling with water, brilliant!) BandAid- Do they know it's christmas? (still gets me) The Verve- Bittersweet symphony (perfect) Soundgarden- black hole sun (makes it's point, great visuals) Coldplay- Clocks (never been a big piano guy but Chris Martin pounds those keys) Carlos Santana with Michele Branch- game of love (great vid, great vibe!) Rod Stewart- do ya think i'm sexy (excellent old school fun) Only rap video I ever liked- Will smith, parents just don't understand. Basically, Imho, rap is dumbing down music/cultures and music videos, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gentleman Scamp Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 (edited) Btw, surprised you left Morrisey off your list?? I think Morrissey is wonderful but can't think of a video that sticks out, though I would have to nominate the live footage of 'Sister I'm A Poet' which doesn't really count as it's live footage. November spawned a monster is alright I suppose. Fat Boy Slim-Weapon of choice That's the one I couldn't remember.
