    I know we have had the best music video ever around about 20 times, and we all know its november rain. But have we had the worst video ever (hopefully not), for me it has to be money for nothing-dire straights
    And over to you in the studio

    Kylie Minogues cant get you out of my head.In addition to it being the worst song of the new millennium period it also"treated"us to the horrific site of herself scantily dressed in a sheet :eek: Will somebody think of the children?:eek:
    Im just bracing myself for a strong response from Dustaz regarding that opinion:p

    Most Whitney Houston videos - especially "How Will I Know" and "It's Not Right (But It's OK) (And I Wish My Hubby Would Stop Hitting Me)"

    Utter tosh. When will they learn.


    Leave Kylie alone - Spinning Around is a classic soft-porn video for one.

    Layo and Bushwaka (? ? ?)
    Er some dance track. It's pretty nasty video of 3 guys inside like a stomach or something and they are in like eggs or something.
    Anyway saw it on MTV last night, and I bloody hated it.

    Ba, its obviously Rapture by Blondie an amazing video that needs to be seen just so you don't make one as bad!

    Mike.

    Clearly none of you have ever seen the video to Gabiriel Byrnes only single. Its so indescribably bad that i have forgoten the name of the track. In fact it may not even be him.
    It features him , in shades and 'cool' car (some sort of mazda), puttin da moves on some big haired 80's victim.

    I have to sit down with the memory of it. Im so put off i cant even respond to gophers madness..

    A1's cover of 'Take on Me' where the 3 lads are flying around in this virtual reality space that honesltly wouldn't pass as a scene from Tron.

    The laughable thing about it is one of the 'singers' admited they spent somewhere in the region of stg500,000 on the three minute visual feast.

    Guns 'n' Roses- November Rain. Complete, overblown, egotistical toss.

    That Ronan Keating song (cover of Garth Brooks song) where he falls in slow mo in front of a car or something. It woulda been an excellent video if the driver had put pedal to the floor and rammed the cvnt!:D

    That video for Blue, ya know the one, they are all fighting those blue aliens on another planet...

    Haha! That was bad! But I have to say if that video didn't exist, the day I saw it would have been so dull. I've never laughed so hard in my life!

    and...
    That video for Blue, ya know the one, they are all fighting those blue aliens on another planet...

    Utter pants.

    Thanks for reminding me. I forgot that bloody song even existed. I remember the days when that song was incredibly popular. I hated it, and it wouldn't get the **** out of my head. I was psychologically breaking down. My brother and sister liked it, school friends liked it, the radio liked it. God it was everywhere.

    For the past 4 years it had stayed out of my head....but now thanks to you, it has come back! The walls are closing in! :(

    Anyway. My choice for worst video is...Damn it! I can't think hard enough because of that damn song in my head! Argh fuuck it! Blue by whatever fuucking assholes did it.

    wow. snap. the first video that came into my head when i seen this thread!

    besides that i'd go for rick astley - never gonna give you up (or the follow up single).. whichever one had horrible blue jeans in them.

    i always detested Wham! videos.. especially Last Christmas (jesus man just throw a snowball and get over it)..

    As far as Dire Straits' Money For Nothing goes it was really one of the earliest videos with computer graphics I can recall, and can actually remember going "thats cool" the first time i seen it. But sure even early 90s dance videos with cutting edge CG look ****e now.

    theres so many, i hate those videos where bands are just playing their song...in a studio or something....like the strokes - last nite....or even worse...ya know those videos they take from shows like the late late shows....talk about squeezing every penny....i think six have one out now and thats it...jus them 'singing' for the late late show...how cheap...they know its gonna do well and therefore its a hundred per cent coverage coz theres no production costs or nothin...bums!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,601 ✭✭✭Kali


    and ohmygod i forgot:
    kate bush - running up that hill, or wuthering heights
    whichever one has that awful ballet duo *shudder*

    This video just reeks of cheapness, good tune though! :D



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 74 ✭✭Syd_Vicious


    Lot's of terrible ones in there...I'd also include the video for "I Can't Dance" by Genesis which is just incredibly painful to watch. Youtube it up and you'll see what I mean (on the other side of the coin, youtube the video for their Jesus loves me song, it's very funny)

    I actually thought the I Can't Dance video was quite funny. The amount of Levi jeans commercials that were rapidly spawing around that time frame (even worse, the songs were getting re-released as a result. Even before the 90s it was bad, the model for one of the commercials, Nick Kamen, even got a record deal!), so it was good to see Phil Collins rip the piss out of all those crud commercials.

    My vote goes to any Underworld video from the early 90s. For the braindead and e-poppers it would have been their day. But all they entailed were black and white screens with lines and words on them. Utter crap!

    VR!
