My favorite videos are usually ones that are interesting or unigue, not simply a band performing live or something boring like that.

Ones that come immediately to mind are:

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Mary Jane's Last Dance and Don't Come Around Here No More

A-Ha: Take On Me

U2: Elevation Ok, so I just like the floating elephant!

OutKast: Ms. Jackson

Aerosmith: Janie's Got a Gun (probably their best video), Pink, Jaded, Fly Away From Here (I just like Steven painted all silver in this one ;) )

Gorillaz: Clint Eastwood (I just like it when the gorillas get down.)

Van Halen: Right Now

Madonna: Like a Prayer (Ok so this wasn't visually stunning but it was pure "let's ruffle some feathers" Madonna....my fave Madonna video EVER), Ray of Light

NIN: The Perfect Drug

I'm drawing a blank right now and can't think of any more. But I love music videos, so I'm sure I'll be back to add to this list.

I like that video too. Almost every music video with a lot of animals in it is good in my opinion.

:lol: I agree totally. But I just loved how the animals were so syncronized in that video, so it looked like they were singing (the owl) or playing piano, and how they covered their heads when sparks flew and such. I just looove that video, it's one of my favs ever, and it's pretty much all because of the animals...

The one that features Bono sitting in a restaurant, lip-synching into the camera. A simple but beautiful video.

You can't stand music videos?! That's a bit odd. Admittedly some of them can be rank but some are actually pretty stylish.
And what would you be watching on MTV if there were no music videos? Before music videos, people in Britain had to endure Pans People on 'Top of the Pops'!! God, that was awful!!!! :eek:

Aah, children, children, children. So young. So cute.

Gather 'round. Grandpa AKA is going to tell you a story. It takes place in a magical time called the '80s.

Back then, MTV showed videos twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Hence the name, "Music Television." But starting in the late '80s with shows like Remote Control, MTV began to stray away from its all videos, all the time concept.

The final nail in MTV's coffin was mercilessly hammered in when the words "This is the true story..." were first uttered on the network in 1992. Since then, the network has shown less and less videos.

Now, the only time you can catch videos on MTV during the day is during the crapfest known as "Total Request Live" hosted by Satan... er, Carson Daly. On this show, millions of teenage girls everywhere are subjected to "countdowns" they think are voted on by them, when in actuality, placement on the countdown is determined by record company executives who give MTV large sums of money in order for their boyband to be number one that week.

Which brings me to the sad state of music today, but that's another topic and another day.

Oh, and they all lived happily ever after.

"Feels good do it" - Sloan

I'm not really into all that teenybopper stuff, but any Canadians out there. If you like Weezer, then you'll like Sloan. The music video is awesome, and the song rocks my socks!

I look forward to the day when the entire George Harrison catalog will be available again. Most of his stuff (including both Wilburys albums) have been out of print-for-years.

The only albums you can find are All Things Must Pass (2001 reissue), The Concert For Bangla Desh, and The Best Of George Harrison (which isn't worth the price on the sticker). Everything else has been out-of-print for quite awhile.

This is mostly George's fault, though, because he owned all his music and would only license the record companies (Apple/Capitol and Dark Horse/Warner Bros.) to release the albums. This causes quite a bit of problems, because since the record company doesn't own the recordings, they can only have the albums out for a certain amount of time before they have to pull them off the shelf. Hopefully, his estate will do better with the business aspect of things.

Before George died, a remastered "The Concert For Bangla Desh" was supposed to be issued on November 20, 2001, but about a month before the released date, Capitol and EMI pushed that date back with no explanation.

Late April or early May is the rumor right now.

Thanks for the info! I was wondering why I couldn't find a Traveling Wilbury's CD! By the way, I still have an 8 TRACK of The Concert for Bangladesh!:lol:

According to your profile, I'm less than two years older than you, young'un.

[Mossopp]

So are MTV and VH1 the only music channels in America? Here we have loads of music channels which are nothing but videos 24/7 - The Box, VH1 Classic, Kiss, Kerrang!, Smash Hits, MTV Dance, Magic, Q...
A lot of you seem to have very short memory spans - few of you have listed videos which were made more than 12 months ago!
I don't think I could pick one specific favorite video although I have always liked the video for 'Cherish' by Madonna. I also loved 'There You Go' by Pink - nothing says 'revenge' quite like driving a motorbike through your ex-boyfriends living room window! :D

[Brad]

Mossopp,

We have more than just MTV and VH1. We also have MTV2, MTVX, VH1 Classic, VH1 Soul, and MuchMusic USA (MuchMusic originates from Canada).

We used to have The Box, but MTV bought them out.

We have all of those.....sort of....

Most cable companies only have MTV and VH1, and if they're really cutting edge they may have MTV2 or MuchMusic USA.

If you have a satellite you don't necessarily get all those, though you probably could if you paid extra to subscribe to them.

So while we have all those available to us, I would wager (and really, this is a total guess based on my experience and everyone I know) that about 60% of Americans have only MTV and VH1.

Right. All but MTV and VH1 usually come in a satellite or digital cable package.
