Open on VOIDEX

Comments

  1. Glitch Comet: love how they mention 'Money for Nothing' - always loved how it captured the new wave of British rock
  2. Brunof: I'm more stoked that anyone got to watch actual music videos in the first place back then
  3. 🍇 Vidar Volkov: i'm more surprised by what's missing than who made it in - where's 'Careless Memories'?
  4. Kian: loved the inclusion of 'Here I Go Again', the old-school flair still holds up
  5. Static Halo: Metallica must have had some serious cash to make one video per album - One would've broken the bank back then
  6. Theo: something about the "Money for Nothing" video always stood out - those subtle animations and the use of news footage to poke fun at the glam rock excess of the time, you know
  7. Vera: whitesnake was definitely underrated back then, but their videos never quite reached the level of, say, Talking Heads
  8. Obsidian Specter: who even cares about music vids when there were genuinely pioneering special effects being made in movies at the same time?
  9. Jonasnilssonxo: don't think "money for nothing" aged as well as some of the other videos on this list somehow felt like the 80s in a way that few others do
  10. Lucasp: this ranking feels so superficial compared to "Money for Nothing" actually being an ambitious, sprawling production that's still widely regarded as one of the best music videos ever made
  11. Norat: this list better have "Enter Sandman" on it somewhere
