Uh oh - secret's out. What can I say - we had some nifty/absurd videos... ("Apple Strudle Man" by Jolly Tambourine Man, anyone?)
Glad to see some post-rollout "Crevice Tool" love. MuchMusic used to play that frequently in the late 80s. BAMFF featured members of art punk/new wave icons UJ3RK5.

― sloop johnnin' skater (geoffreyess), Saturday, 19 March 2022 03:42 (two years ago) link
missed a lot of the poll, but felt compelled to blurb my (hasty, unranked) ballot:
Bjork - Joga — feels a bit wrong to go with a relatively Bjork-less Bjork vid, but her computerized form at the end was like an artist dreaming themselves limitless, and I believed it at that moment if I didn’t already. also the camera movements (stumbling, sweeping, stumbling again), blocks of digital earth… simply etched in my head.
Janet Jackson - Go Deep — what is a music video if not the artist partying at your house? love the specific quality of the images (like early MTV off-the-cuff creativity on late 90s cameras) and contrasting them with the rest of the Velvet Rope run to remember how visually controlled she’s always been.
Black Box Recorder - Child Psychology — makes a bigger impression when you’re 11 and haven’t heard of Night of the Hunter yet, but its windblown cattails and face constellations aren’t any less beautiful as homage.
Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You — somehow blended this in my mind with Les Rhythmes Digitales’ “(Hey You) What’s That Sound?,” had to remember which video was which. both still great, but this one has video watching as a narrative element (always important!) and thus a sorta “Cloudbusting”-redux finale, except it’s the artist up there in the clouds.
Massive Attack - Protection — what if all those boxes you’d seen were stacked up into a building, but instead of containing bands they contained you, and also Tracey Thorn?
De La Soul - A Roller Skating Jam Named Saturdays — if you’re gonna make a video you go where people are, and if you wanna find people, you go to the roller rink, then the park.
Possum Dixon - Radio Comets — cool images remembered from movies, the singer play-acting with lyrics as script, the band performing in a white room: this checks all the boxes.
Sonic Youth - Little Trouble Girl — “Bull in the Heather” and “Sunday” were formative, but sorta glad I was spared this one til recently, I’d still be trying to unpack my childhood through its prism.
Busta Rhymes - Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See — did for curtained hallways what “Joga” did for landscapes (as I hadn’t seen Twin Peaks yet).
Eels - Last Stop: This Town — basically the greatest thing I’d ever seen at the time, and I still find the way carrot-man’s progress and the song’s structure work together to be pretty magical. plus I find E weirdly hot in this.
Fugees - Killing Me Softly — everyone was so young! what is a music video if not proof of youth? also love the ambiguity of the images this sold-out crowd is so increasingly absorbed by, and the idea of singing “Killing Me Softly” to a movie.
Cornershop - Brimful of Asha — see “Go Deep,” except the artist stays one step removed, stuck inside their records. the kid doesn’t care though — I think that was me.
Erasure - Stop! — Andy twirls, never freer; Vince mans the gadgets, never cooler.
Scritti Politti - Absolute — dreamy Green and vid-dom’s most enchanting dance party.
Anita Baker - No One in the World — ha, figures that Spike Lee would cast himself in the two-minute prologue. but the idea of a post-war Baker performance at the Apollo is well imagined, even if the core of it, the performance (beautifully filmed), doesn’t really need any context. also this has a genuinely unsettling/haunting final shot of an artist stranded, easy to miss as it comes right when the camera goes wide, makes way for the little corner credits, the next video.

"Apple Strudle Man" by Jolly Tambourine Man, anyone?
I don't know it, but we must be from the same place and time--they were big on Queen St. when I started writing for Nerve in the mid-'80s.
Nice. I imagine the two or three people who voted for "Roller Skating"--I almost did--get exactly the same thing out of that that I get from "Summertime." (There was another song from the same time just like those two that I liked a lot too...kind of vague, I know.)
I broke the Michel Gondry Rule too, I think--too much work to wade through his videography to be sure.
― clemenza, Saturday, 19 March 2022 04:25 (two years ago) link
Oh yeah, "Music Sounds Better With You"! Much like "Rockit", I'd have found a way of squeezing that onto a ballot if only it had occurred to me.
I voted for these from the top 100. I guess I largely steered clear of Gondry, quite unconsciously.
3. “The Perfect Kiss,” New Order (1985) - 150 points/9 votes/two #1 votes4. “Subterranean Homesick Blues,” Bob Dylan (1965) - 144 points/14 votes9. “Once in a Lifetime,” Talking Heads (1981) - 114 points/12 votes13. “Drop,” Pharcyde (1995) - 104 points/9 votes25. “Bastards of Young,” Replacements (1985) - 73 points/8 votes26. “Unfinished Sympathy,” Massive Attack (1991) - 68 points/8 votes27. “Oblivion,” Grimes (2012) - 68 points/5 votes39. “When I’m with You,” Sparks (1979) - 57 points/4 votes/one #1 vote40. “Jocko Homo,” Devo (1977) - 56 points/6 votes--43. BAMFF - Crevice Tool - 55/2/one #159. Pulp - Bad Cover Version - 48/664. Yo La Tengo - Sugarcube - 47/693. Go-Betweens - Streets of Your Town - 40/3 [The Kriv Stenders version!]98. Pet Shop Boys - Being Boring - 39/3/one #1
I find the last two insanely affecting. #98 is an order of magnitude better than "West End Girls" IMHO. No surprise it got a first-place vote.

I should've voted. I only know a limited selection of videos and figured there'd be a lot I've never seen before, but pretty much all of these are pretty familiar.
Other stuff I might've voted for but didn't place: a lot more Talking Heads ("Burning Down the House," "Road to Nowhere," etc.), more Beastie Boys ("Intergalactic," "Body Movin'," etc.), the Beatles' "A Day in the Life" and "Strawberry Fields Forever," Elvis Costello's "Accidents Will Happen," Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," Madonna's "Like a Prayer" and "Express Yourself," R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion," Nirvana's "Heart-Shaped Box," Bruce Springsteen's "Brilliant Disguise," Nine Inch Nail's "Closer," Kanye West's "Touch the Sky," Johnny Cash's "Hurt," Tom Waits's "I Don't Wanna Grow Up," The White Stripes' "Hardest Button to Button," Beck's "Devils Haircut," David Bowie's "Blackstar" and "Lazarus," Childish Gambino's "This Is America," Beyoncé's "Formation"

The Massive Attack “Protection” video was always a disappointment to me… I don’t know how you could possibly capture the atmosphere of that song, but what they ended up with felt like more of a busy distraction.

Being on the boomer/Gen X cusp, and neither fully one nor the other, I lean towards the boomer-ish re. videos, preferring to visualise the music inside my own head. That said, if I'd voted, it would have included Gong "How To Stay Alive", Dry Cleaning "Scratchcard Lanyard", Billie Eilish "Hostage", Tom Jones "Talking Reality Television Blues", The Blaze "Territory", John Grant "Glacier".
Of the videos mentioned upthread which didn't make the Top 40, I'd have boosted The Knife "We Share Our Mothers Health", Johnny Cash "Hurt", Blur "Coffee & TV", Madonna "Like A Prayer", R.E.M. "Man On The Moon", David Bowie "Lazarus", Elton John "I'm Still Standing", Feist "1234", Fatboy Slim "Weapon Of Choice", Bronski Beat "Smalltown Boy".

imo It's a huge bummer that "Bombay" and "Y Control" are not considered canon. Two of the most-impressive/least-discussed I've seen.
Young Thug "Wyclef Jean" and Thundercat "Tron Song" are also very fun and underdiscussed 2010s videos. The Grimes video is better than I thought it would be but not an especially great choice for best of the decade. It's not better than "Sticky Drama."

Guilty as charged, probably, although mine were more from the '60s. But I voted for promotional clips by Cream, Melanie, and Nico that more or less fit your description, as does the Badfinger clip I posted just above. I love these songs, and I just like the idea that there's something video-like out there for them.
