The best music video of all time

[PrincessHoneysuckle]

Aibu to say its "Crazy" by Aerosmith.Its a sexy mini film and imo the best.
Anyone want to suggest others?

[MotherOfAllZipFiles]

3 little pigs by Green Jelly
brilliant video

[weaselwords]

My maternity leave with eldest, who is now 22, was spent watching Kerrang TV, so my favourites are Closer by Nine Inch Nails, Come to Daddy by Aphex Twin and Dope Show by Marylin Manson.

[weaselwords]

Oh and weirdly Cry me a River by Justin Timberlake.

[Fleamaker123]

Godley and Cream - Cry

[berryhead2013]

Aha take on me best ever

[Evennow]

Bowie and Jagger singing Dancing in the Street (for Live Aid)

James singing Sit Down (G Mex 1990, on YouTube)

[GrouchyKiwi]

The best is obviously The Humans Are Dead by Flight of the Conchords.

[contentedsoul]

So many to choose from...
Queen - Break Free

[xsquared]

I immediately thought of Aerosmith of the 90s era too with Alicia Silverstone as the lead. The Cryin', Amazing and Crazy trilogy were er amazing.

I think Bon Jovi's Always was also directed by the same person.

[Newlife04]

I thought of praise you by fatboy slim.

Also feeder - just a day
Always used to make me smile and think about how happy those chosen to feature would be.

[StrawberrySquash]

Street Spirit by Radiohead
Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
Runaway Train by Soul Asylum because they put missing kids on it and found several

[Fleamaker123]

Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy

[Mummyshark2019]

Rush Rush by Paula Abdul. Featuring the very beautiful specimen that is Keanu Reeves. Gorgeous.

[Mummyshark2019]

Band Aid 1984. Collection of superstars.

[CaveMum]

Late to the party but I’d add to the obvious ones

Backstreet Boys - Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)

Missy Elliot - Gossip Folks (love those dancing kids)


Blink 182 - All the Small Things

[ladybirdsarelovely33]

A-Ha - Take on Me. I fell in love with Morten Harket and was going to marry him. Even though I was about 13 at the time.

[colouringinpro]

ladybird me too ❤

[chilling19]

Some great videos mentioned up thread.

I have always liked this little oddity, very calming.

Directed by Lars Von Trier: Bakerman by Laidback.

[AlliKaneSon]

In my teens I would have said any video by New Kids on the Block. Looking back now they really are some of the worst I’ve ever seen

[AutumnRose1]

In my teens, I’d have said anything but New Kids 😂

[DressesWithPocketsRockMyWorld]

Everything by OKGO!

I'm a teacher and have managed to shoe horn their videos into many a lesson plan!

[NathanNathan]

I've not RFTFT but in case it's somehow been overlooked, Dancing in the Street - Bowie and Jagger!!

[notawittyname1954]

my favourite band so this
or this

Years and Years King and Shine

[PhoneTwattery]
