i was looking at my cd collection to try to have my memory jogged but it is amazing how many records i have where i have never seen a video from the band. but some personal lowlights are anything by steve winwood like 'higher love' or anything by john waite 'missing you' comes to mind or the red hot chili peppers 'under the bridge', that godawful green jelly thing 'little pig'(or whatever it was called).

There was a Mick Jagger solo vid in the early/mid-80s, called "Let's Work" or something. Ever desperate to keep up with trends, Mick was wearing a day-glo, spandex leotard. And jogging on the spot. Just a horrible, disgusting sight.

Also recall a Cliff Richard video, late-80s/early-90s, where - ever desperate to keep up with Kylie and Jason - Cliff was wearing bike shorts. And doing aerobics-style choreographed dance moves. Just a disgusting, embarrassing sight.

I just thought of a really heinous one - Aaron Carter's "Aaron's Party". Why not just call the song / video "Aaron's Ripping Off The Beastie Boys" and be done with it? And why is he wearing pimp clothes?! He's 11 for fuck's sake!!!! And why are all the girls little hoochies when they're probably just as 11 as he is?!? It's disturbing and just plain wrong, and whoever concepted it should be kicked. Plus, the song is easily the worst single ever done by anyone related to the Backstreets, including their hippie sister.

Though it doesn't come close to being as bad as album-only Aaron track, "Internet Girl". AARRRGH.

All those shite Michael/Janet Jackson videos with those irritating as fuck dance routines. Although Bad may be the worst of the lot. And word on Puff's "ouch I hurt my head falling from my motorbike, it reminds me of the pain I feel for you Piggy" fiasco.

Omar, then you must love Paula Abdul's clips as well. Didn't Paula do the dance routines for Janet? Oh talking about Abdul, that clip with Keaunu Reeves. *pah-you-kah*

I think they're all horrible, tho' to varying degrees. That current one with thee fellow w/a mirrorball for a head is quite irritating. I did like the bit from "smack my b!+ch up" w/thhe purple vonit, tho. The rest of it sucked.

The new Madonna one gives a whole new meaning to the words pointlessly provocative tat.

Late entry just in: Travis's 'Sing'.

Anything by Robert Palmer from his multiple identical plastic-looking dancing girls phase.

That "cry" video isn't Yes -- it's Godley and Creme, and yes it is horrible.

Yes has had some awful videos, the worst of which being the 9 part pinnacle of primitive music video effects, "Leave it". Anyone remember that?

That Travis video is a grim thing though not as bad as the one wherein they were chased by an egg. HOWEVER the song is a scandal, as they have seemingly taken their song "Turn" and replaced the word "Turn" with the word "Sing" throughout. As if they weren't lazy enough.

I have changed my opinion on the new George Michael single but the clip for Freeek stinks major cyber-doodoo.

I still think the naked Alanis Morissette video is the worst. How could a nude woman be so boring?
