After helping every step of the way, the minute I started the countdown, Viborg completely vanished. He may not actually exist--I may be going through a Fight Club thing.

LOL, glad that Bamff almost made it. I would never have heard of it if wasn't for one of the Canadian contingent drawing my attention to it some years ago.

Nag! Nag! Nag!, Saturday, 19 March 2022 00:43 (two years ago) link

Lol I thought of making a ballot just to vote for it.

The sensual shock (Sund4r), Saturday, 19 March 2022 00:49 (two years ago) link

You could have pushed it into the top 40! (Probably deserves to be there.)

Vinnie, Saturday, 19 March 2022 00:54 (two years ago) link

Just watched most of it. That almost made the Top 40.

clemenza, Saturday, 19 March 2022 00:56 (two years ago) link

Apologies to everyone for not voting for a Michael Gondry video... I didn't realize that was a requirement.

Josefa, Saturday, 19 March 2022 02:11 (two years ago) link

Gondry directed “Centerfold” (little-known fact)

Please don’t take / My time change away (morrisp), Saturday, 19 March 2022 02:44 (two years ago) link

As if!

It was directed by Paul Justman, brother of the guy who wrote the song, Seth Justman, the keyboard player in the band

I have a friend who does great music video TwitchStreams, usually on Tuesday nights, and yup, the next night I was reminded of like five vids I should have voted for (including "The Perfect Kiss", but that case worked out anyway).

Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Saturday, 19 March 2022 03:11 (two years ago) link

(Oh--I also learned, via his ballot, that ILX'or Kent Burt must be Canadian.)

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.

Thanks for the poll!

lingereffect (Kent Burt), Saturday, 19 March 2022 03:40 (two years ago) link

whoa, it's over? looking forward to poring over this, and guess it's time I see "Star Guitar"!

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.

sloop johnnin' skater (geoffreyess), Saturday, 19 March 2022 03:47 (two years ago) link

"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.

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.

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 votes
4. “Subterranean Homesick Blues,” Bob Dylan (1965) - 144 points/14 votes
9. “Once in a Lifetime,” Talking Heads (1981) - 114 points/12 votes
13. “Drop,” Pharcyde (1995) - 104 points/9 votes
25. “Bastards of Young,” Replacements (1985) - 73 points/8 votes
26. “Unfinished Sympathy,” Massive Attack (1991) - 68 points/8 votes
27. “Oblivion,” Grimes (2012) - 68 points/5 votes
39. “When I’m with You,” Sparks (1979) - 57 points/4 votes/one #1 vote
40. “Jocko Homo,” Devo (1977) - 56 points/6 votes
--
43. BAMFF - Crevice Tool - 55/2/one #1
59. Pulp - Bad Cover Version - 48/6
64. Yo La Tengo - Sugarcube - 47/6
93. 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.

Nag! Nag! Nag!, Saturday, 19 March 2022 04:30 (two years ago) link

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"

birdistheword, Saturday, 19 March 2022 05:13 (two years ago) link

Also Prince's Batman videos which aren't his best work but I enjoy them more than any of the Batman movies.

birdistheword, Saturday, 19 March 2022 05:16 (two years ago) link

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.

I should've voted for "Relax" too.

Pass This On by The Knife would have been my number one by a million miles

Surprised Windowlicker didn't make the top 40

paolo, Saturday, 19 March 2022 10:28 (two years ago) link

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".

Thanks for the playlist, Roz. There must be a second video blocked in Canada besides the Bjork--I only get 38. Didn't encounter that, so either it was just blocked or it's a second version of one I could access. Anyway, that's great.

billstevejim, Saturday, 19 March 2022 16:33 (two years ago) link

one of the positive things i can say about the list is that nothing by jonas akerlund placed

His videos are generally overrated but I do love "Paparazzi" and "I Miss You."

billstevejim, Saturday, 19 March 2022 16:40 (two years ago) link

I hadn’t seen “Drop” in a long time and now wish I’d voted for it. Seems kinda proto-Jackass now in a way.

Chris L, Saturday, 19 March 2022 16:49 (two years ago) link

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."

Not sure why it's eligible for "lock thread start over."

Because the poster was bored, and he wanted to entertain everyone, and he did an excellent job with the joke he repeated 37 times.

I'm noticing a lot of people nominated and voted for videos where some band from the 70s or 80s performs in a nondescript setting and it just kinda looks like 1000 other videos and nothing happens and then the video ends.

billstevejim, Saturday, 19 March 2022 17:25 (two years ago) link

Like idk even the Joy Division video. Granted they look very cool and it's mesmerizing watching them play but conceptually it might as well be "Working For The Weekend."

billstevejim, Saturday, 19 March 2022 17:29 (two years ago) link

Idk about that vid in particular, but I’d argue that a video doesn’t have to be high-concept to be great (any more than a song does).

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.
