50 Greatest Pop Video's Discussion Thread!

[Beastie]

This is the 50 Greatest Pop Video's Discussion Thread!

It is on TONIGHT at 10pm on channel 4!

You could have voted online for your favourite pop video!!

I voted for Fatboy Slim's Weapon of Choice!

The question is though.. Who is YOUR number 1?

Also Girl's Aloud member, Kimberly Walsh is counting down the pop video's!

[ILoveTRW]

wonder if telephone will be on it

[Shaun]

It's not. There was a list of possible videos, and GaGa was on it once...but for Poker Face (!?) - it better not do too well.

[Beastie]

wonder if telephone will be on it

Not sure. Watch it and find out ;) I am sure Lady Gaga will be in it somewhere though!

[GypsyGoth]

This thread looks nice :)

[Shaun]

You look nice.

[Smithy]

I imagine that number 1 will end up being a video which isnt even that good, just one which everyone voted for because they liked the song

[ILoveTRW]

Not sure. Watch it and find out ;) I am sure Lady Gaga will be in it somewhere though!

can't i have college first thing tomorrow :( ill watch the first hour

[GypsyGoth]

You look nice.

:wink:

[Beastie]

In at number 50 - Godley and Creme - Cry!

[GypsyGoth]

Who voted for these videos? Was it music fans?

[Mrluvaluva]

That Godley and Creme video was brilliant for its time.

[Beastie]

Who voted for these videos? Was it music fans?

A panel of experts came up with the best 50 pop video's I think then us the public could vote by clicking one of them on 4 music website I think it was? so I voted for Fatboy Slim's Weapon of Choice! I like the song but the video is hilarious!! Christopher Walken's dance moves! lol

[Kerry]

Thriller will be no.1 I reckon

[Beastie]

can't i have college first thing tomorrow :( ill watch the first hour

Lol well I am sure by tomorrow you will see the full list of top 50 countdown!

Eek my laptop is going a bit slow. missed who was at 49 now lol

[Beastie]

I bet Britney's "baby one more time" will be high. I bet Lady Gaga will be high too!!

[Kerry]

Sinead looked beautiful in that video.

I love that song :love:

[setanta]

Sinead looked beautiful in that video.

Sinead is beautiful. I've met her on walks a few times before. Very quiet and timid individual. Very small too.

[Kerry]

Another one of mine now. You know you want me!

You're way out of the top ten so far :P

[setanta]

I actually posted that track in the Abba thread. Yes, I'm great.

[Kerry]

*awaits possible BB advert*

[GypsyGoth]

FFS slow twatting forum!!!!!!!!

It is going at a snails pace for me :cloud:

[setanta]

You're way out of the top ten so far :P

It's early doors baby and Thriller doesn't count. Far too obvious.

[Kerry]

It is going at a snails pace for me :cloud:

Me too. It's driving me nuts. One of my true hates is slow sites.

[Kerry]

It's early doors baby and Thriller doesn't count. Far too obvious.

I said Slimboy Fat too

[Mrluvaluva]

Aphex Twins "Window Licker" coming up in the next segment?

[setanta]

Pink Floyd will be up there too.

[Kerry]

World in Motion was the best thing New Order did :D

[setanta]

I said Slimboy Fat too

I know, I know. But I said loads so I win no matter what. :tongue:

[Kerry]

I know, I know. But I said loads so I win no matter what. :tongue:

[Kerry]

Vogue and/or Like a Prayer in there high up

[setanta]

How did I forget Bowie! One of my idols.

[GypsyGoth]

This video was featured on a picasso doc just on bbc1.

[Kerry]

Love Unfinished Sympathy

[setanta]

Vogue and/or Like a Prayer in there high up

I mentioned Like a Prayer. Sick burn lol. Nah, I think it'll be Vogue actually.

Oh, I have another one now.... Bittersweet Symphony. Has to be in the top 10.

[setanta]

Dylan!!!! I'm an idiot.

[Kerry]

I mentioned Like a Prayer. Sick burn lol. Nah, I think it'll be Vogue actually.

Oh, I have another one now.... Bittersweet Symphony. Has to be in the top 10.

Vogue the better song but I reckon Like a Prayer is the more powerful video

[Shaun]

are these even numbered? or are they just in random order?

[GypsyGoth]

I like Bjorks video.

[Kerry]

Meh Bjork

[setanta]

Vogue the better song but I reckon Like a Prayer is the more powerful video

Yeah, but Vogue is a fantastic video too. What about George Michael? What's the one he did with the models?

[GypsyGoth]

are these even numbered? or are they just in random order?

Yep, numbered, I think we are on 42?

[Stu]

True Faith :lovedup:.

Agnetha Fältskog is so hot in that Abba video.

[Smithy]

I like her too, she cant sing for sh!te but the videos hilarious

Aww Paloma Faith :amazed:

[Kerry]

are these even numbered? or are they just in random order?

No, numbered

[setanta]

I chose the wrong RunDMC. FEck!

[GypsyGoth]

Yep, numbered, I think we are on 42?

I was a bit off, this is 37 :D

[Kerry]

Walk this ways been done by them and someone else for years. Talk about milking it :laugh:

[Wildcat!]

Yeah, but Vogue is a fantastic video too. What about George Michael? What's the one he did with the models?

I think that was father figure! NOt sure!

[setanta]

I think that was father figure! NOt sure!

It's Freedom. Just looked it up!

Yeah, and Radiohead are going to feature too. How good am I, really? lol

[Kerry]

You can see their boobs!!!!!

[Shaun]

sigh...Poker Face hasn't even been mentioned yet has it? Which means it's come ahead of some of this brilliant stuff.

[Kerry]

sigh...Poker Face hasn't even been mentioned yet has it? Which means it's come ahead of some of this brilliant stuff.

Lady G's deffo in there. Seen her on the build up

[setanta]

Well done Jaye, you git!

[Kerry]

Yay Firestarter :D

[setanta]

That's the greatest number 1 ever by the way.

[Kerry]

Well done Jaye, you git!

Hehe :D

[Shaun]

Firestarter :love:

oh my vag, I love Weezer.

[Kerry]

Love this too, Buddy Holly :D

[Harry!]

Like a Prayer = Madonna's most overated music video.

She has done many more amazing videos then that, Some with more wow factor then LIP.

Not watching this btw.

[Shaun]

Hey Ya! Amazing video.

[Kerry]

Hey Ya! It gets better and better!!!!!!

[setanta]

Still a great track. What's it called again Shauny?!

[GypsyGoth]

Hey ya :love: :love: :dance:

[Shaun]

Still a great track. What's it called again Shauny?!

Whaaaa?

[Kerry]

Hey Ya! Amazing video.

Like they just said, you can't help but smile. Brilliant!

[Stu]

Lot's of great videos so far. I'm afraid the top 25 will be all style, no substance [I'm looking at you, modern pop videos].

Hope Smack My Bitch Up makes the cut too. Heck, we might even get a bit of Enjoy The Silence.

[setanta]

Radiohead. Greatest band of the last 20 years babies.

[GypsyGoth]

Like a Prayer = Madonna's most overated music video.

She has done many more amazing videos then that, Some with more wow factor then LIP.

Not watching this btw.

It's pretty good Harry.

[Kerry]

Hey ya :love: :love: :dance:

I can't help but wiggle when thats on :D

[GypsyGoth]

Nirvana :lovedup:

[setanta]

Yes, I was a huge Nirvana fan in my teens. Couldn't help it.

[Smithy]

I would pmsl if GaGa was number 1

[Wildcat!]

pretty good show so far!

[Harry!]

It's pretty good Harry.

I know but she has done more better vids (Bare in mind I have seen every one). It is good btw.

[GypsyGoth]

I would pmsl if GaGa was number 1

She does have a couple of good videos.

[Kerry]

I would pmsl if GaGa was number 1

I reckon theres going to be quite a bit of recent stuff as it's voted for by the C4 viewers. Could well be in the top 10

[setanta]

I get shivers when I hear this song. It's just perfect.

[Shaun]

The Cash :(

[Wildcat!]

I know but she has done more better vids (Bare in mind I have seen every one). It is good btw.

Which ones are better than Like a prayer, and vogue? I think those are her best 2 videos!

[Kerry]

Johnny Cash :bawling:

[GypsyGoth]

I know but she has done more better vids (Bare in mind I have seen every one). It is good btw.

I think Frozen is one of her best.

[setanta]

I have goosebumps right now. Love that song so much.

[Kerry]

I get shivers when I hear this song. It's just perfect.

One of my friends cries every single time he hears this

[Wildcat!]

I reckon theres going to be quite a bit of recent stuff as it's voted for by the C4 viewers. Could well be in the top 10

Yeah there will definitely be a lt of new ones in the top! Lady gaga, Beyonce, Taylor Swift!

[setanta]

One of my friends cries every single time he hears this

It's masterful. Just awe inspiring stuff.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

omfg that is the worst song ever

[Stu]

This should have been top ten, no question.

The NIN version still buttfuks it though.

[setanta]

There's another one that I said would be on the list. Come on Kerry, kneel before me!

[Smithy]

She does have a couple of good videos.
She does but poker face wasn't that good a video compared to Paparazzi, Bad Romance and Telephone
I reckon theres going to be quite a bit of recent stuff as it's voted for by the C4 viewers. Could well be in the top 10

Yea I thought that too

[Kerry]

I think Frozen is one of her best.

Frozen is a fab vid. Song-wise I think one of my faves of hers is actually "This used to be my playground"

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

was he actually dying while he was singing that

[Wildcat!]

I know but she has done more better vids (Bare in mind I have seen every one). It is good btw.

I also like La isla Bonita, and the one with the spanish style torero stuff. Forgot the name!

[Kerry]

Yeah there will definitely be a lt of new ones in the top! Lady gaga, Beyonce, Taylor Swift!

Single Ladies is one of my fave videos. I love it :D

[Stu]

November Rain ahead of Hurt.

Aha. Ahaha. Ahahahahaha.

[Shaun]

overblown melodramatic nonsense.

[Kerry]

There's another one that I said would be on the list. Come on Kerry, kneel before me!

:P

[Stu]

At least this aint as bad as Estranged. What with Slash coming out of the water to do a solo.

[Harry!]

Which ones are better than Like a prayer, and vogue? I think those are her best 2 videos!

Express Yourself
Oh Father
Open Your Heart
Take A Bow
Papa Dont Preach
Bedtime Story
Any video from Ray Of Light
What It Feels Like
Die Another Day
American Life (Uncut version)
Bad Girl

So many more. Vogue and LAP are good as well (But overated)

[Shaun]

Gorillaz. :love:

[Kerry]

Gorillaz!!!!!!!!!! Coooooool

[setanta]

Debatable. I like it, but not sure if it deserves to be in this list.

[GypsyGoth]

I like these monkies.

[Shaun]

blah the Verve.

total rip-off of Massive Attack's.

[GypsyGoth]

This looks like that other video with the woman walking down the street.

[setanta]

Oh, another of my ones, right Kerry? Sorry, I love saying it.

[Kerry]

I'd love A Day Like This by Elbow to be there but it won't be

[GypsyGoth]

blah the Verve.

total rip-off of Massive Attack's.

That's was I was thinking :hugesmile:

[setanta]

Thought it would be higher, but it's another that I said. Great video.

[Wildcat!]

Express Yourself
Oh Father
Open Your Heart
Take A Bow
Papa Dont Preach
Bedtime Story
Any video from Ray Of Light
What It Feels Like
Die Another Day
American Life (Uncut version)
Bad Girl

So many more. Vogue and LAP are good as well (But overated)

Those are good songs! But the vide dont compare. Like Papa dont preach is basically masonna walking around the whole video. They dont compare artistically to Vogue or Like a prayer!

And I think everything in Ray of Light is awful! Thats the declining Madonna!

[Kerry]

blah the Verve.

total rip-off of Massive Attack's.

I'm beginning to think you're me....

[Stu]

PETER GABRIEL AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Sorry, but this dope is too whimsical for my liking.

[Kerry]

Oh, another of my ones, right Kerry? Sorry, I love saying it.

Where have you said all these cos I aint seen it :laugh2:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

[Smithy]

Im confused by the dancing chickens :S

[Smithy]

isnt it obvious what will be number 1

Thriller probs

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

wtf is she hosting it for

[setanta]

Where have you said all these cos I aint seen it :laugh2:

Go back the the Shed you big eejit. I mentioned them.

Didn't realise it would be a public vote though. God, we're going to get shi%e from the last few years in the top 10.

[Kerry]

Hmmmm did she hint Thriller is in the next segment? I'd so love it not to be the obvious No.1

[Wildcat!]

isnt it obvious what will be number 1

Its not that obvious, if voted by fans on the internet!! It would be obvious if voted by experts!

[Shaun]

I have a horrible feeling Poker Face will be in the top 10.

[Kerry]

Go back the the Shed you big eejit. I mentioned them.

Didn't realise it would be a public vote though. God, we're going to get shi%e from the last few years in the top 10.

Nah I'm in here now :P

[Wildcat!]

I have a horrible feeling Poker Face will be in the top 10.


Of course it will! I would put it in the top 10 of the decade. Its a really good video! But of all time no!

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i will cry happiness if thriller isnt number 1

[setanta]

Nah I'm in here now :P

Yadda, yadda. lol.

[Kerry]

Peter Kay :D

[Shaun]

Of course it will! I would put it in the top 10 of the decade. Its a really good video! But of all time no!

Is it ****! It's every other female pop video of the past 10 years.

[GypsyGoth]

i will cry happiness if thriller isnt number 1

I don't think it's the best.

[Kerry]

i will cry happiness if thriller isnt number 1

I'm hoping for a change. Just like Queen always get number one in "best songs ever" shows

[GypsyGoth]

Clever backwards video :love:

[Wildcat!]

Is it ****! It's every other female pop video of the past 10 years.

Fine! I think its a great video!

[Shaun]

pretty good vid.

[Kerry]

Can't believe Britney is gonna be top 25

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i would like okgo to be number 1 but i doubt it

[Smithy]

Say wahhh, this aint even that good a video

[Shaun]

Crazy In Love...oh dear. Sexy, but not great.

[setanta]

how beautiful is she? still though, not sure about her being in the top 50

[Kerry]

Beautiful is a good video

[Harry!]

And I think everything in Ray of Light is awful! Thats the declining Madonna!

[GypsyGoth]

[Kerry]

[Shaun]

Awful non sense idiotic video!!!

[Kerry]

Yeah, but still a great one.

Oh yeah, it's ace

[Wildcat!]

And Poker Face isn't? ****.

Not at all imo! this one however is! ANd I am not gonna tell you to **** for liking it though!

[Kerry]

This ones just daft

[Shaun]

I want to clean like this.

[setanta]

I prefer parklife to this one.

[Shaun]

BLUR!

I wondered for ages wtf this milk cart was from.

[Smithy]

Yay

GaGa got at least top 20 :D

[Wildcat!]

I never understood that video, until now!

[Beastie]

[Shaun]

[GypsyGoth]

Likes it in your face.

[Shaun]

Wannabe and Can't Get You Outta My Head.

Tremendous pieces of art. Really good. Much better than Hurt, Subterranean Homesick Blues, Street Spirit...

*another reminder of why people are awful*

[Kerry]

Spicegirls vids crap.

[Kerry]

Hope Everybody Hurts is there and high. Excellent video

[Smithy]

I can say with confidence that the best part of this charade has been Kimberly Walsh every few minutes.
