....Music videos.
Mostly chosen for the literal adaptation of the lyrics
At number 5 we have Bonnie Tyler, Holding out for a Hero.
Great Lyrics.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=7f_HsjpSVaI
At number 4 I have, Duran duran - Rio for the extreme over the topness of filiming it on the yacht and the over produced video techno gimics.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3W6yf6c-FA
cant have Duran Duran without the other mob, so at 3 its Gold with Spandau
So literal this one "Look Gold! its bright and shiny"
www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSq8ZBdSxNU
At no 2 just because I want that bronze Mk1 Granada Ghia 3 litre coupe...
Park Life
www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIEsmGzo2UE&ob=av2e
So at No 1 No its not the Fulham Statue doing thriller, but Dire Straits, because this was the first thing I saw on MTV after I got a pirate Sky working in the 90's and because this song is the reason I bought my first CD and CD player. in the 80s

for the excellent musical skills of the backing band..

Not much into music videos, so only one springs to mind - Madonna, Like a Virgin.
Two reasons - she looks dead fit in that one, and it's a good pop record.

Good call, but I draw your attention to Papa dont Preach

This is classic "literal" as in interpretation of the lyrics ala pans people level.
But then she moved into the vouyeristic, forbidden ala Like a Prayer,
Its all there, inclduing racism and the klan.

And as you say fit.
And, to be fair, great "pop" music.

if you like Dire Straits you will probably like Marks solo stuff! - lot more moody and meaningful!
Here`s two of my favorites! - i`m sure once you`ve heard them you`ll be able to find another three yourselves

Disqualified, not a music video. Some of your others are a bit borderline as well, but I will let them pass as you gave it some thought. And you did dig up the Leningrad cowboys!!!! And that fact that age has not been kind to james taylor in the looks department.

Faith No more - Easy Like Sunday Morning. Can't beat a high quality trannie and a great twist on poodle haired rock bands with lingerie models.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1WAMNIunKc&ob=av2n
The Cure - Lullaby. Immensely creepy and very suited to the song
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijxk-fgcg7c&ob=av2e
Another Brick in the Wall - Pink Floyd Should really include the entire film...

Very very good Stuff RR. I have been a big fan of the Welsh boy for as long as I can remember. I knew the Bride is here on 7" Vinyl. I saw him a couple of years ago in Barnstaple North Devon with....................Albert Lee amongst others. Albert regularly does minor venues too, as if Barnstaple isn't minor enough and two nicer Men one couldn't wish to meet. Albert Lee, is in my mind the finest Guitarist there is (waits for the shi from afar) and Edmunds not far behind. To hear Dave Edmunds playing Classical and singing too was marvellous. An underrated talent for sure.
I have some youtube stuff by the Refreshments and they are something else....Rock or what.
Usual Cliche.......................thanks for posting......M.

A great entertainer Martin. I envy you for seeing him live, it's something near the top of my wish list.

Hot Chip - I feel better -
Not a big fan of synthpop but the video has a spoof boyband and Cancer Jesus (Riders of the Apocalypse imagery?):
www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GOZjlwIwfk

Oren Lavie - Her Morning Elegance -
Lovely song, and one of the best stop-frame movies ever (as well as that uncommon beauty - a stunningly attractive red-haired lady - ranks up there with Karen Gillan...):

Johnny Cash - Hurt -
A dying man, singing a song originally by industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails. Feel the power and imagery in this beauty:

Some Bollywood movie - Midget Indian Dancing
?????????????????????????????. Just ???????????????????.
