Stop me before I list again!
May. 27th, 2003 12:04 pmIt was boredom and sleep deprivation that led me to list my votes for The 100 Greatest Music Videos of All Time; it was brain damage, though, that led me to try to assign ranks to the suckers:
( The video list, sealed for freshness )
A few comments:
1) This list is all about the video, not the song. I'm not particularly a techno fan, I've never owned a rap record of any sort, and Kylie Minogue makes me break out in a rash. But the artists all had the sense to work with good directors (as opposed to, say, Wayne "Nothing's Too Good to Plagiarize" Isham or Matt "Where's the Focus Button on This Thing" Mahurin).
2) Yes, the ranking is at least somewhat arbitrary, but that didn't stop me from agonizing over it horribly.
3) By jeezum crow, I really do have a Michel Gondry fetish, don't I?
