Another Fan Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Remember them? Some of the other threads influenced me to start one here. Mine no order Michael Jackson- Thriller Madonna- Bad Girl Henry Rollins- Liar Christina Aguilera- Fighter Talking Heads- Burning Down The House And damn they are a lost art. Even that Christina video is 20 years old already 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppy Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 the thing is there are sooo many cool videos out there. If you like the song you will more than likely like the video. Now if I were to spedifically think of the early MTV stuff I could also think of a ton that I liked. 1. David Lee Roth.............Just a Gigolo. It's just so campy and over the top 2. Robert Palmer................Addicted to Love 3. Paula Abdul..................Opposites attract 4. sharp Dressed Man ...ZZ Top 5. Peter Gabriel.............Sledgehammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrW Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 A video made in 1967, way before MTV. The whole budget was probably a few thousand pounds. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) So many to choose from... Maybe a bit serious take on society... But well done, IMO. Fits the time, even if this was uploaded 13 years ago and the lyrics. So much in it about where we've been, where we are going and how we are getting there. Even the personalities in the video of a bygone era. Human interaction, social strata, etc... You wouldn't think that a simple four and a half minute video could convey so much, but it does. Check out how many people hide from the camera... Then some ham it up. Probably someone could write a thesis on what's happening here from simple video and old home movies... Maybe it's hokey... But I find it pretty deep and telling... Today we are seeing things through the lens that has been highly altered. This just a glimpse into the many layers of society from a smaller town and more real vantage point. When it comes to a deeper appreciation, I think this video has it all... From a 3rd party too... Hope the record company never shuts it down. Uplifting... I think one of the first comments says it all: "In this Narcissistic age where everyone is infatuated with their own image, just look! People didn't want to be photographed, people weren't drunk on themselves, people did not want to be made self conscious . We need to be more like these people."
