Video Killed The Radio Star

What does this picture have to do with music videos? Absolutely nothing. But when I typed in "music videos" in google image search this picture was on the first screen so I had to include it. Oh and it's also the fucking time machine cruising on the highway to which is the most bitching thing ever!

Anyways, I watched some music videos today, thought it would be good for me because I have not really seen any music videos in a long amount of time. But back in the day, there were some killer videos. I am going to give a top ten on my favorite videos of all time. I know they will all be heavily disputed, but I say do what you go to do son. As a disclaimer, videos 10 through 2 are in no set order at all really.

10.All Falls Down (Kanye West)
One great artist+one great song+shots of stacey dash running from behind=a kick ass video. (I still can't believe she is 40. That just defies science.)


9.Dirty (Christina Aguilera)
I'm a heterosexual male. That's my explanation.

8.Da Funk (Daft Punk)
A giant dog who can talk to people, and can with despite having a broken leg! You have to give respect to that. I have seen this video many a time, and I still love it when I see it. I still have no idea to this day what the video means, but that's not saying much because I thought Romeo and Juliet was a story about world domination.

7.Buddy Holly (Weezer)
Easily could have gone higher on the list, but there are so many to choose from. Any time you combine a great band, mixed with shots of Happy Days only good things can come out of it. Pretty original idea to, and I had to fit this one in.

6.Praise You (Fatboy Slim)
I honestly wanted to put this video number one. I really and truly did, but it wouldn't be right like making a move on a girl while she's sleeping. But I will say it is the most genius video I think on the list. I swear its my dream in life to go to a really fancy bar one night randomly with a group of people, and then just bust out the entire torrance dance group performance right there on the dance floor.

5.Just (Radiohead)
What was that dude saying on the street? We'll never know. Maybe he was just explaining to people the benefits of lying down on the street. No, that's just a bunch of malarky!

4.These Days (Alien Ant Farm)
They crashed the fucking BET awards man! It was genius! And you got to see people get arrested on a music video, unlike Limp Bizkit's attempt to make it look like it was real, but wasn't in the "Nookie" video. The reactions are great from the people who are on the red carpet at the BET awards as well.

3.Triumph (Wu Tang Clan)
A solid track for starters, but more importantly it's a long video that keeps your attention the whole way through it. Every member of the Clan is involved in this track, unlike some of their other videos they released. Each member in this video is doing their own thing including rapping in a huge inferno, from outer space, and leading a motorcycle gang. Throw up the W's for this one...I don't know what that even means.

2.Jeremy (Pearl Jam)
I heard their new song on the radio the other day and it's damn good. But this video I think is overlooked in the grand scheme of things. Maybe because it hit to close to home as it is actually based on a true story. Either way the video is great, and Eddie Vedder actually looks possessed by the devil in this video. Great times all around.

1.Thriller (Michael Jackson)
It's a given.

Honorable mentions go out to:

California Love (Dr. Dre and Tupac)
Big Me (Foo Fighters)
Clint Eastwood (Gorillaz)
Juicy (Notorious BIG)
