What is your favorite musical video? I like Madness: Our House, because it's very funny?

[Amy10223]

Unfortunately it can't be shown here. But if you'd like to look at it, I promise you it's a good one.

This is a good question and I'd have to dust off a few neurons to remember when MTV actually had music videos.

I won't say any of these is my favorite, but they do strike a chord with me.

The first is "Eighties" by Killing Joke. I saw it twice on Father's Day Weekend 1984 and it profoundly affected me. That song was the last song that I heard in the 1980s; I had it on my turntable playing during the last few minutes of 1989 and I timed it to end at midnight.

Another is "Ashes to Ashes" by David Bowie. At the time it was made, it was the most expensive video ever. The ending is haunting.

Of course, Gary Numan's "Cars" was transformative too. It was important for the history of "New Wave".

When "Synchronicity II" debuted (it was a major MTV event), I thought it was very good but that the effect of going over the water was poorly done.

"Rebel Yell" was phenomenal as a song and video.

My life took a significant turn about 20 years ago when I first saw this video on a TV in Walmart: "We Are All Made Of Stars" by Moby.

I still cry when I watch this video. When you've been through a lot, this is cathartic.

"Thank U" by Alanis Morissette

I forgot to menrion, from the videos you showed here, I've only heard iof 3, 4 and 5. I know the "Thank You" song by Morrisette. One of the songs I remember well--was when I decided to part with my husband and her song " Jagged Little Pill" was the one I'd listen to while going to work in the morning--I felt so free then. Sad situation--but not for me!

Oh gosh... this is a REALLY tough question. If you asked this once a year, I'll probably give you different answers. I have two that are consistent. They are:

Neil Diamond's America performed live in Ireland in 2002 after the 9/11 attacks in America:

Bruce Springsteen's Born in the U. S. A. performed in London in 2013:

Those are kind of all the time favorites. I also tend to have current favorites. Right now there are three:

Taylor Swift's All Too Well (Taylor's Version)(Ten Minute Version) from her appearance on Saturday Night Live in November 2021:

Kim Petras' Can't Do Better performed live at the Jingle Bell Ball in December 2018 in Minneapolis:

... and Taylor Swift's Love Story performed during her 1989 World Tour.

Funny you mentioned Bruce Springsteen. He was a jersey favorite, and my brother saw him dozens of times in NJ at a club called The Stone Pony in Asbury Park. I absolutely love Born to Run, and Rosalita. And guess what? He's coming to town in March. I wish I could see him but tickets are too expensive.

[SnowedIn]

Thank you for MHO!

Yeah, his tickets are CRAZY expensive.

Wow to see "Asbury Park"... both my parents are from there!

[NathanDavis]

there's just way WAY TOO MANY of them...

but just to pick one I will go with this... as it uses real life footage and it fits the spirit of the song so well

[weysally]

my music, is mainly Jazz, so I like any film that has good jazz in it

[Lookitsmadmax1994]

Buckcherry- Crazy Bitch
Maroon 5-Sugar they crash actual weddings and surprise the bride and groom.

[milkov]

does Alexander Hamilton count as musical video?

[Amy10223]

I don't see why not.

[milkov]

Yeah that's my fave... The song Alexander Hamilton.

[Nikki1989]

I also like Baggy Trousers by Madness.

[Jennz6]

I don’t know any musical 🎶 videos

[Amy10223]

I mean, music videos, as in the kind you watch on TV or on Youtube.
