Johhny Cash's version of Hurt is extremely good, and the video is excellent. Dunno why some of the other videos are in there. Peter Gabriel could have had 3 or 4. I would have put in Tool's "Prison Sex" too - very unusual.

Nothing Compares 2 U is also good by deceptively simple. There is a long shot of just her face at one point with some real emotion strikingly apparent. At one point tears fall down her face. The song, written of course by Prince, is, in her version, actually about the death of her mother. Sinead's mother had recently died in a car accident, which just makes it even more wrenching to watch, whatever you think of her. ("all the flowers that you planted, mama ["Sugar" in the Prince version], in the back yard, all died when you went away"). Gulp.


Bjork's videos are all excellent. I would have also included one or two Beastie Boys videos, which are also excellent and are often very funny (Sabotage, in particular). There are also some exceptional Madonna videos; I love the Take a Bow video for its mood and wonderful cinematography and editing.

"Two Tribes" was the classiest, with Gorby and Ronnie Raygun slugging it out.

The remixes of that song were great - I can remember telling my grandmother that we would have to put her outside if she should happen to die while in the shelter. o

Slave To The Rythm by Grace Jones was very good and True Faith by New Order. Most of the Madness videos were great too (I have them all) IE House of Fun.

Some in this list are poo. Like Two Tribes (sorry Pilgrim). Sledgehammer was really good.

No problem Lee but if we're going to be brutally honest, then they all pail into insignificance when compared to watching Pan's People or even Legs & Co. :wink:

Sledgehammer was pretty good though but nowadays, it looks like something they used to do on Take Hart all the time.

. . . and, of course, the internet being the internet . . .
