and the #1 music video is……


Money for Nothing by Dire Straits

Excellent choice of music Van Halens Jump or why cant this be love is a good one too. Duran Duran hungrey like a wolf good song. Guns and Roses November rain is my all time favourite song. Inxs Never Tear Us Apart, Icehouse Man of Colours, Pearl Jam cool.

I really like the vid of Take on me. To me it's definitely number 1

I just like a vid that tells a story and also while being quite different and fascinating. I mean come on that clip is ingenious.

Ahhhhhh when i read the title i thought of "Money For Nothing" straight away... i was hoping to mention it if it wasnt on your list but its your number 1... Good choice

My all-time fav is "Been Caught Stealing" by Jane's Addiction.

A great narrative video is "Float" by Flogging Molly. It tells the story without being a literal translation of the lyrics (something that makes for bad videos).

My all time favorite is "Just" by Radiohead. The story is so cool, compelling and original. Whoever came up with the idea is a genius in my opinion.

This one sticks in my memory

All the music (with the exception of Talking Heads) is just terribly boring to me. I'm not really that big on Radiohead, but anyone with a brain can tell that that video is brilliant. And Aphex Twin; f**k yes.

This one sticks in my memory
Yeah I remember that, Ok, that is the best music video.
Here's a good one.
