What OLD videos do you like?
When I say old videos, they don't have to be ancient, but those that really stand out for you.
To start off, here's the lovely Adam Ant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27Tj...e_gdata_player And the Madonna classic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79fzeNUqQbQ |

As a kid I liked The Source & Candi Statton 'you got the love' video with all the different faces morphing into each other. Of course by today's standards the 'special effects' are almost laughable, but I still actually quite like it! Also liked Peter Gabriel's 'Sledge Hammer' video.

Great song, but pretty forgettable video. I prefer this little known John Lydon project from the 80's:
http://vimeo.com/39708969 Quality can be measured different ways and production standards in the 80s for example produced many great videos - some of which are listed here. And I'm great fan of Mr Lydon and PiL. But the impact of the Pretty Vacant video cannot be overestimated. I doubt if there is any artist who could make the same impact today as The Pistols did by just being themselves in that video. Remember the 70s was not as video immersed we we are nowadays. When that video appeared on TOTP and the power and the look...Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten staring in that nihilistic manner. Forgettable is the one thing it is not. |

All of Madonna's 80s videos - especially Open Your Heart and Like A Prayer.
Sledgehammer/Big Time/Don't Give Up by Peter Gabriel (and Kate Bush) Heart/It's A Sin/Always On My Mind by PSB Enjoy The Silence/Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode These are just a few videos I love, there's tons more but listing them all would take me a month of Sundays! |

Meatloaf - anything for love... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9X_ViIPA-Gc
I'm sure many people will disagree, but I love both the song & the video. |
