Greatest music videos ever


No list is complete without the greatest music video ever: Michael Jackson's "Thriller." But I daresay that Eric Prydz's "Call On Me" is much more better-er. I have no idea why, but it just is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qetW6R9Jxs4.

"Take on Me" by aha. You know the 80s tune with the pencil sketch video? A classic. https://youtu.be/djV11Xbc914

Very much makes me nostalgic for the 80s

Nice one!

I love "Lucas With the Lid Off" by Lucas. It was done in one take and used practical effects entirely. Shame the quality of the upload isn't better.

This was done in one take??? If it was done in multiple takes and stitched together it would still be impressive. I like this video, very cool!

reply

Yeah, one take. Nothing stitched together. All the effects were done with camera.

If I Could Turn Back Time - Cher

I really liked it when it was new, nowadays I think it's a touch raunchy for a 43-year-old Cher. But worth a mention.

Misheard lyric: I originally thought, "Maxwell, jump"

Without repeating some already listed here:

Save a Prayer
Sledgehammer
Land of Confusion
Sabotage

reply

Save a Prayer is one of my very favorites. 👍

reply

It's the absolute epitome of a high art, high budget music video. It's how music videos should be done. Duran Duran had hands down, the best music videos. 👍👍

reply

Duran Duran has some pretty interesting videos in general. Rio, Night Boat and The Chauffeur are all great. Then you have the night version of Girls on Film that was originally made to be played in clubs.

Rock DJ is one insane video. I get why it was banned in so many places but it's a brilliant video nonetheless.

reply

The video for "Everything is Everything" is a classic. As a rocker, I think it's a solid song too.

reply

Do the evolution is my all time favourite.

Very Nice!
