Worst music video of all time

There are some awful videos out there--which ones make you cringe?

'Stop Making Sense' Talking Heads 'Hello' you know who Every Michael Jackson after Thriller 'Addicted to Love' Robert Palmer

If you're talking about the full concert video of Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense," I'd say you're making no sense yourself. That's a great concert video! Classic! And let's not forget that Jonathan "Silence of the Lambs" Demme was helming it with the great Mr. Byrne. Speaking of which, "True Stories" was a great movie.

Michael Jacko and Elvis' daughter

The music video obviously, I definitely dont wantto see another type of video, with them in perish the thought

In the words of Mr. Red Hat, we are in agreeance on that one. Just found out this week that the Heads rehearsed here in Oregon for the Stop Making Sense tour, the date they played in Eugene was 4 days before the date in California when they filmed the show. I was happy cause they played Love Goes To A Building On Fire, one of my faves, as the third song as a trio. As good as the film is, it was much better in person, the crowd truly went nuts.

Saw True Stories in the theater, with two other people. I love the humour in this one, along with a young John Goodman and (RIP)Spalding Gray, giving his economic theories for the future of Virgil, TX to his breathless family by using the dinner food as props. I also prefer a lot of the songs as sung by the actors rather than the Heads themselves, like the kids doing Hey Now, Pops Staples on Papa Legba, or Tito Larriva on Radio Head. Some of that stuff made the b-sides of singles, but a lot of it hasn't been released at all (I don't think Goodman did a bad job on People Like Us at all).

Gonna have to think about the worst video I ever saw, there've been way too many painful things I witnessed over the years.

Dee, you should have given us some choices here, because there's just too many to mention, and not just old ones either !

You are right, Geri--I meant to put this thread on BCD but got myself lost

Cliff Richard, wired for sound.

oh and Devil woman

I saw some footage of the Eagles performing Hotel California. It was so dull I thought I was going to die.

Jon Secada's "If You Go." When I was a kid, I made fun of it and still do.

GARY MAC beat me to it.

It has to be Ciff and Wired for Sound, absolute bollocks

I would have gone with the lengthy Jacko ones, but yep, Wired For Sound is a bag of crap. On the other hand, the Cure did some quite good videos

anything from Billy Ocean is awful

JOY DIVISION -LWTUA NEW ORDER - WORLD

That Lionel Richie Hello video is appaling

i hate all rap videos, said and done

Don't look back in anger - Oarses

For those not familiar with the video , Cliff is on the roller skates. I assume Buffer was not watching whilst on roller skates , a tad dangerous and liable to earn one a clip 'round the ear of yer mam , if you knock a vase over

That would be correct Garymac. :D

Jon Secada?! Almost forgot about that wanker, did make a mess out of radio back in the day.

Yes, let's really hope New Order don't exist long enough to do a "Hell Freezes Over" tour of their own.

Imagine the horrors of low tempo accousic renditions of "Blue Monday" or "She's Lost Control" while sitting down in chairs in a semicircle, and chatting w/ the audience in between

how about these shockers

Brother Beyond ? If this was word association ..... Twat.

Freudians can make what they wants of it , but that singer.... twat ; see cant help it

Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to Heaven'

Thriller - Michael Jackson

I know it got some MTV awards. For me, I really just hate it more than any other video!

Indeed!

Argh! That Thriller vid scared the hell out of me when I was a kiddo

Worst video of all-times? Incognito by Celine Dion.

Worst music video of all time: It would have to be the same as the worst song of all time, "World In (bowel) Motion"!

And that one with Micheal "I'm not a pedophile, I just sleep with 12 year old boys in my bed and have a fun fair in my back garden" Jackson, were he poses as Jesus (it's name escapes me at the moment, but it may well be the same one that Jarvis Cocker took such exception too).

Also anything by Phil Collins.
