Funny..I don't feel confused in the slightest.
How am I confused?
You asked to be directed to some iconic videos which you could use stills from in a quiz.
I provided the names of several well known ( but not so obvious as to be too easy..as some of the suggestions on this thread have been) music videos.
If you don't know these well known videos,which were shown ad nuaseum on MTV and VH1 when they were current and for several years after then I can only assume that you are very young ( under 20) and/or have very limited music knowledge
Yes, I think you just listed some music videos that you personally liked, but they are hardly likely to be recognised by many people from a video still.

You suggested to a different poster that they shouldn't be running a music quiz, they aren't (to my knowledge) I am, therefore you're confused.
HTH.
BTW, I wouldn't say that many of them were shown ad nauseum on MTV or VH1, Soundgarden was but I'd never seen the Moby one and certainly wouldn't attribute it to the song.
I doubt if hardly anyone would have even heard of that Tom Petty one (whatever it was), so I wouldn't have thought it could be described as iconic. I'm not sure that any of Madonna's videos are particularly iconic, but I have to agree about the Britney Spears one, if if I don't like it.
However, I will now argue with myself because I would suggest the video for Bowie's Heart's Filthy Lesson, as it was quite radical in sound and vision, also because it was used at the end of Se7en.
Tim Pope's Cure videos were quite ground breaking in their style, but I suppose Close To Me is the one that everybody talked about at the time.
I'm in two minds about Blondie's Union City Blue, because it was actually quite a crap video, yet did seem to capture a particular moment in time.
Also the Country House video from Blur. Crap song and I hate the video, but it also defines its period.
Whilst I see your point about the Tom Petty video, for my purposes seeing Kim Basinger is going to make you think of two videos, that one and the one she did with Was Not Was.
id argue against thriller on most of the claims made about it...but it was a very iconic vid, whether it was a ground breaking vid or a cheesy rip off of a b movie film. (even by the same producer).

]I'm not sure that any of Madonna's videos are particularly iconic
Completely disagree with you there, Madonna has many iconic videos LOL
I'd deffo use single ladies, the impact it had for such a modern video is amazing.
I think some people are confusing good videos for iconc ones. the basement jazz and moby ones are great but they didn't have the classic lasting effect an iconic video needs.
Queen - I Want To Break Free
Beyonce - Single Ladies & Crazy In Love

Well, it's a good job that I'm not compiling a music quiz, then!

Mary Jane's Last Dance by Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers.
That's Kim Basinger playing Mary Jane, the dead girl Tom dances with in the video clip!
Very iconic video.
Baby one more time

I want to break free
Vogue
Videos that, whether you liked or not, define or were a defining moment of each particular era.
Dead right and I fully agree that it should be considered iconic owing to Kim being in it.
(great record too)
