What do you think is the best music video of all time?

Bad? Ummmmm hell no.

[...]

Sledgehammer.

Because why not?

Madonna Frozen. The video is magnificent

R4 That video scared the hell out of me when I first saw it at 11.

Take On Me-A ha

These Boots Are Made For Walkin’-Nancy Sinatra

Cloudbusting - Kate Bush

It’s just models but it’s iconic.

Devo - Beautiful World

POST RESERVED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT MADONNA

R10 I like that one a lot, but my favorite music video from Devo is "That's Good" with the crinkle cut french fry and donut.

Devo were the first band that really got video.

Paula Abdul ft MC Skat Kat

R4 I also loved this Madonna offering:

Having the band members of R.E.M. performing "Crush With Eyeliner" as four Japanese teenagers ... quirky, fun, and genius, imo.

not the best, perhaps, but definitely iconic:

I always liked this little bon bon of a video.

This one is personal, because local Los Angeles radio station, KROQ, was announcing that it was going to be happening, so my boyfriend and I both cut work, and we jumped in his BMW 2002 and drove downtown. Great fun.

U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name, 1987.

Maybe not the best but Sober by Tool is way up the list

Vogue. Billie Jean. Total Eclipse of the Heart.

This one still gives me shivers, after all these years.

Grace Jones: "Slave to the Rhythm"

Express Yourself is the correct answer. It has aged extremely well.

I always thought that, if I had a time machine and went to the past, and they asked me to show them what we're like, I'll show them this:

Thriller.

Unforgettable.

Elton's "I'm Still Standing".

Beastie Boys, "Sabotage"

Love the energy in Stereophonics' "The Bartender and the Thief."

Thread closed.

"Your butt is mine? Who is saying that to who? Because I am not saying that to you."

Sublime.

Not sure it’s the best, but beautiful

I'll second Michael Jackson, but not that both tacky single and video "Bad." For me, it's his "Thriller" video instead.

And She Was!

R25 You would be decapitated immediately .

People might forget this but this video came out in 2005 and was done in one take. You watch and think nothing of it now but that’s because it was before YouTube and TikTok and Instagram.

It was like the first viral video before viral videos existed. This song got as much play and attention because of the video.

R38 Awful it’s like the first tiktok crap.

What Have I done to Deserve This is a favorite.

Once in a Lifetime

Can't decide whether the song or video is my favorite.

Too many basic bitch loserdonna fans infecting this thread

Anyone saying things like "loserdonna" is obviously the most basic bitch of all and doesn't know when to shut their stupid hole, because their projection is quite obvious.

The Police -- "Every Breath You Take"

Smalltown Boy by bronski beat always gets me. I was a small town boy once too who moved to the big city for the same reasons around the same time as the song. Yeah, it is personal. I'm still slightly in love with Jimmy Somerville.

R44 Anyone that thinks that talentless loser doing geisha cosplay and dancing like a moron, is “the best music video of all time” is a tasteless fucking fag!

I see my jello post sent you rampaging everywhere R47

[quote] tasteless fucking fag

The ancient white fags troll has arrived.

Elle King - Ex's & Oh's

A gay guy must've produced-directed this ..lol.

R48 Keep giving yourself ww’s tasteless & basic fag.

Outkast - Hey Ya!

Fun, energetic, a lot going on.

There's that projection, mixed with paranoia again R51. Truly love that my posts always send a maggot like you over the edge. Your hateful tone is so recognizable, you frigid, tight assed battered queen. 💋 💋 💋

R52 Thanks for getting the thread back on track after the deluded madonna fan posting her lame video and giving it 16 fucking wws.

Don't stop me now Don't need to catch my breath I can go on and on and on

It's no contest. The #1 video has and will always be MJ's Thriller.

Remember when Simply Red was going to be the next big thing?

This marks me as a sad gen-xer, but i still love the video for “Closer”, by Nine Inch Nails! 😩

It may seem dated and hokey NOW, but it wasn’t at the time.

My absolute favorite of all time, because of that ending:
