I don't remember granting you a license.

there's your real test- a video you would watch every time, but it's not in any music rotation for you.
By that standard, "Take On Me" is the best of all time, and "Wicked Game" beats "Cradle of Love." Your method seems to punish success in songcraft. I'd watch a topless Helena Christensen shot by Herb Ritts to the soundtrack of a crush video. Squeeek!

if you really like a song, you shouldn't like the video- it's like the film version of your favorite novel- oh, wait. give me a moment I'll try to come up with something a non-reader could understand.

I checked my video collection, but they are mostly non-video videos -- concert performances or acapella renditions for promos, so no help there.

My favorite videos usually feature interesting tracking shots (Janet Jackson, When I Think of You, as mentioned previously), entertaining dance numbers, or both, like Jamiroquai's Virtual Insanity or Fatboy Slim's Praise You or Weapon of Choice.

Sometimes, like Juvie's Ha or NWA's Straight Outta Compton, Dr. Dre's Nuthin But A G Thing, or Clipse's The Funeral (which has made me a fan of their music since I first saw it), they just let you see things you've never seen before, which can be really compelling.

I would also add Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit. When you think of seeing that for the first time, it was completely arresting visually and a complete game changer culturally.

Lastly, Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer, REM's Losing My Religion, and George Michael's I Want Your Sex, Faith, and Freedom are classics.

ETA: Stylus Magazine has a list of their top 100 all-time (through 2006) with embedded youtube vids. Lots of Radiohead and Sigur Ros and Bjork and Pulp.

I hear those Balinese cockfights used to be very straightforward affairs until all the unlicensed practitioners flooded in.

Indeed. The first time I saw it on MTV I knew Seattle was my destiny.

Oh, so you had a whacky prostitute?

Uhm, yes, but, different people and different stories. I'll send you a PenskeStyle scorecard, so that you can follow the action more better.
