Best. Videos. Ever.

this is an audience-participation blog. i know there are lots of awesome videos out there, but as I have had cable only a few years here and there, there are obviously going to be some that i don’t know. so i’m just going to start with three of my favorites, and leave the rest up to you. please leave a comment including the song and artist, a link to the video if you have it, and – most importantly – tell me why it’s so brilliant. i will compile a final list and post it in a later blog.

the first three, in no particular order….

buddy holly – weezer…. this is just brilliant. great concept, great editing... just plain fun.

thriller – michael jackson... ok, this is a classic, so i'm sure i don't have to explain to you why it's on here - first of its kind, revolutionized music videos, blah blah blah... plus dancing zombies! and vincent price rapping! i was a young dancer when this video came out, and i remember watching a copy of this over and over (till we wore it out) so that we could learn all the dance moves...
