Most Groundbreaking Music Video of All-Time is...
...according to MySpace UK, the crown goes to -
London, May 3 – Michael Jackson’s 1983 hit ‘Thriller’ has been named the ‘Most Groundbreaking Music Video Of All Time’. The 14-minute zombie epic, directed by London filmmaker John Landis, topped a poll for MySpace UK. Second in the list was ‘Here It Goes Again’ by US act OK Go in which the band members perform a dance routine on treadmills. Britney Spears’ breakthrough hit, … Baby One More Time – which saw the then teenage singer dancing in school uniform – finished in third position. A-Ha’s animated promo for ‘Take On Me’, propelling the Norwegian trio to worldwide stardom – was fourth. In fifth place was Johnny Cash’s poignant black and white film for Hurt – shot while he was in poor health just six months before he died from diabetes complications. Will Francis, site editor of MySpace UK, said modern videomakers could learn a lesson from the past. “Only two of the top ten were made this century. Which shows despite massive advances in technology, a brilliant idea coupled with a great star is an unbeatable format,” Sky News quoted him as saying. The complete top ten: 1. Thriller – Michael Jackson (1983) 2. Here It Goes Again – OK Go (2006) 3. … Baby One More Time – Britney Spears (1998) 4. Take On Me – A-Ha (1985) 5. Hurt – Johnny Cash – (2003) 6. Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen (1975) 7. Daft Punk – Around the World (1997) 8. Weapon Of Choice – Fatboy Slim (1999) 9. Sledgehammer – Peter Gabriel (1986) 10. Sabotage – Beastie Boys (1994)

I agree with 1, 4, 7 (to an extent) and 9.
I honestly think in the other cases people were just going with "songs they like", the videos were not really impressive at all.

I agree with 1,2,4,7,8,9. 10 is great but not really innovative, or particularly memorable. I had to youtube it just now to remember. Take On Me is probably my favourite music video ever though, it's very cool even by today's standards.

Not saying that I think it's all that great a video (or song), but I do remember its cultural relevance at the time. |
