Channel 4's 100 Greatest Music Videos- Make your votes count (apparantly)

This is an archived legacy thread. Replies are closed, but the discussion is preserved.

The link at the bottom takes you to the site where you can vote on your favourite ever music video, providing it's from their list of 125 (fascists). New Order are there with, what else, but 'True Faith', but the catch is, you have to vote for 10 videos at a time instead of just one.

After you've voted you'll have the option of submitting your own favourites not listed in the 125 for "consideration" in the forthcoming TV show. I chose 'Touched By The Hand Of God' & 'World', but I think I'm more likely to win this Saturdays triple rollover than see either of those as future nominations.

So, I thought it would be grand if NOOL members went there & voted for 'True Faith', along with nine others you like, then submit what other NO videos you think should be there. You never know, if enough people bombard Channel 4 with NO requests, they may have to a) put 'True Faith' at the top of their chart, & b) maybe even include a second NO video somewhere in the final 100.

I've nothing against 'True Faith' being there, & will be very happy if we help it to win, but it being there is as predictable as 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' being Nirvana fans favourite song, & Queen fans voting for 'Bohemian Crapsody' in droves...

Anyway, happy voting peeps, I hope everyone who reads this takes a minute of their time to support your favourite band... and New Order (boom boom)

Just voted! I picked TF from the list and then nominated BM in the "not in the list" section. Why have I got the horrible feeling that the whole thing's rigged anyway, though?

Blue Monday? You mean Blue Monday 88 right? not that '83 version!

Although I'd nominate a few others before that..

Actually, this could be a very interesting poll.. or Survivor.. did I ever do that?

Why, thank you! Just goes to show even old JSB can be nice & helpful on occasions...

'Touched' is a fantastic video, probably my joint favourite with 'World'. I was surprised that 'Blue Monday 88' wasn't already in the shortlst, as, after 'True Faith', it's the only NO promo that's often played on those digital TV music channels

I know what you mean - Regret is probably the only other that gets a fair bit of play on TV / Satellite.
