Best Music Videos of All Time

It shouldn't take a second for a sane being to tell 'whats the best album/song/music video in history' is MICHAEL JACKSON'S THRILLER babe...

A true master piece... The best of all time... and Mj was only a young guy when he did this... just shows the genius he was... - love4mjj

All his music videos are best but there it is tough to choose between thriller and smooth criminal

Absolutely the best and a trail-blazer. Michael can compete with himself only. His other videos should be on the list as No. 2, No. 3, etc. There are throngs of performers still copying "Bad", "Black or White", etc. - whateverhappens

Animation is killer, and concept is easy to understand
Very entertaining

It looks good because it took a long time to make all those drawings

This song is amazing, and it will never be forgotten because of its melody, its wonderful video and the great job that Morten, Mags and Paul have made in it. A-HA forever!

Magnificent idea and excellent execution! I can't listen to the song without thinking of the video! best music video ever!

It's really cool! I love how a lot of MJ's music videos are like short musical films. - Misfire

Check out the Radio Edit version and the 2008 version on youtube, BETTER than the oringinal version - SmoothCriminal

If we are going by truth, most of Michael's music videos should be on here..

The scene where the guy sneaks up behind him with a knife and then gets blown away through the wall was really a funny scene

It's an amazing video that expresses the true meaning of the song. The song is about a guy who died in the hospital, and death came to him in the form of his fondest memory, which was a parade. His best memory was watching a parade with his dad when he was a kid, so dead approached him in the form of a parade. The message is that death should be happy, and it should come in the form of your favorite memory, not sad and depressing as it usually seems to be. The video and song have a very deep meaning in the form of a beautiful little story. It's inspiring and great!

everybody c'mon this music video is just so powerful and epic and the story is superb! if you have never seen it you gotta cause you're gonna lose your breath watching it!

Best video with great lyrics! Your memory will carry on My Chemical Romance!

It's a masterpiece. A beautiful beautiful song and video

The storyline is great, full of emotion, the video is one of the most expensive music video of all time. You watch it and I'm sure that you will not regret it. - ronluna

Okay, one question... why is lady Gaga above guns n roses?! Axl is 10 times the musician she is, without a doubt in my mind. November rain is a beautiful song, and the video may be the only thing that even comes close to it! I love the part where slash leaves the church to play his solo.

Perfect blended emotions and music together... Everything is so great in GN'R... Slash and axl are the best... come on people... Find a way for it... It must be in the top ten..

One cold November while driving this broke my heart over an ex so much I had to call her to rekindle our relationship... But nothing lasts forever as Axl says! Unfortunately. Still hurts when I listen all these yrs later. And more so in November such as it is right now ( time of posting! ) awesome video to spectacularly well composed track and lyrics. Fits so perfectly into many peoples lives

Michael was great in this music video. He was the pioneer for the short film music videos. This was an amazing video and the dancing was the best... It was an early video ; but one of the best... xo MJ love xo - love4mjj

Michael Jackson's music videos were and still are the best to watch because their like mini movies. Rest In Paradise MJ The King of Pop

Oh ya this was a great video... for sure of all time... beside Thriller... love it... - love4mjj

One thing I dislike about this song is how Eddie Van Halen got absolutely no recognition

I hope when people vote for a video that isn't this very video, they understand the true meaning of this video. From the deep political, anti-war themes set over a dark horrifying atmosphere to the solemn and dreadful tones of one of the most influential bands at the very peak of there career. This video isn't even comparable to any other video on this list because of the sheer talent, emotion and history that was poured into it.

For those who just think of One as an awesome metal track, watching the video alongside it shows the true meaning of this very moving song.

HA, It's funny how Thriller actually can be on the same list as One, One rules the most supreme, and the video scared me, so suspense

Do you know the impact Thriller was? It basically started the whole music video and telling a story theme. It's legendary. If anything, no doubt most of Michael's music videos should be consecutively at the top.

Stan flow was so great that I repited this video a lot of times

Oh so what you're saying TAYLOR SWIFT IS BETTER THEN EMINEM?! This is an outrage! Number 2 at least! (Thriller is the best though. R.I.P. the King Of Pop, He will be missed. ) - izakronalddonnelly

Why is this so low? This is my favorite music video other than thriller. I want to find out who puts these things so low. No one knows music these days.

More like a mini-movie than just a video.

Amy lee is enough for being best... - Belder

In one word, a master piece.

This is a very good video, when I first saw the video I downloaded it. laugh out loud..

Laugh out loud, best music video ever. Very action and ultimate EPIC

It all keeps adding up it sucks that It's not top this site makes me annoyed Yeah yeah yeah! Should be so much higher so should boulevard of broken dreams, Wake Me up When September ends, and when I come around

people this is the best music video of all time. Show some respect to REAL MUSIC

So funny and amazing. It's their best song. Billie, Tré and Mike really rock this

Yeah

Any human being with a brain knows that Bad Romance was not only one of the best music videos of 2009, it was one of the best music videos of the decade. I mean the choreography, the set, the costumes, and even the song. Come on, the song was one of the best song I've heard in my life. If you're a Little Monster, you know Bad Romance was the best thing you've layed your eyes on. It was nominated so many times at the 2010 VMA's and win a lot of those nominations. Vote this up people, Gaga killed with this video.

This is probably Lady Gaga's best work. She was able to make a clean eye catching simple video with all her crazy corky ideas. It's pure genius, everybody who worked with her must have had the best chemistry ever because the result is astonishing. All of her videos always have a good idea behind it, but sometimes it doesn't take the best direction & either looks like too much at once, sort of like a mess. But Bad Romance is just perfect, I wouldn't change anything about it & could watch it all day long. Also, it's her most iconic, it really defines her as an artist & includes most of what people recognize in her.

Very good idea to video, such as video simply extraordinary and unique. With this video and no one ever beats for this high-quality video anywhere else. Poor Roman - the best thing that could ever make Lady Gaga! Lady Gaga worthy 2nd place (after Michael Jackson)..

Lady Gaga is so talented. I love her so much. All of my friends hate her because she can be a bit wild and crazy, which, I admit, she can be. But, in the end, she's a really nice woman with a kind, loving heart. #LittleMonsterForLife

Most amazing video ever the power when the guitar solo comes in and it's a MASH PIT, I go to 1 every year and it ain't pretty

This is one of the most influential bands of all time with this iconic video and personally Michael Jackson is mentioned to much in this list

This video still sends chills down my spine like it did when I first saw it 22 years ago.

Why Is This Below Lady Gags what This Is One Of The Most Imperative Music Videos Of Music History - FettiMC

This song and ESPECIALLY the video needs more attention. - Mcgillacuddy

TOO MANY people on here that don't appreciate REAL beauty and genius.

Anyhow, if you can somehow get through your extremely biased views (I'm talking to you Michael Jackson worshipers, among others), this is clearly the best video. It shows the emotion of the song. The music video is (Supposed to be, at least) a form of art. You can play this video non stop in an art museum. It has no flaws. It's absolutely perfect.

The raw pain and emotion in his voice and expressions alone make this worthy of the top 5. To be able to still make music after going through the death of your true love is just astounding. Johnny Cash will always be a huge influence on all genres of music and will never be forgotten.

Brave to display such pain, but THERE it IS...

brave to use someone elses song; but only works from such pain.

thanks Johnny,

and NIN!

Not the best cash song but I agree that out of the few videos he did this is the best

Legendary video by a legendary band. This band helps people deal with the dark side of life.

This music video is cool

One of the top five.

Like this video if you're watching it in 2015!

But I'm only a crack,... in this castle of Glass!

This should totaly be #1 because this song is too awesome.

NO. - AlphaQ

yas

Good music video. It's sad to see it at 125

When I remix this list californication will be number 1 - Sabbath

93? This disappoints me. I don't see how such a delightful video, paired with such an amazing song is this low. It'll always beat Thriller in my mind.

Californication -i just love the song man! After'all its Gun's and roses we are talking about!

This is an amazing music video! - hopeyf2

So hilarious! - MrHyde

#3 on MTVs list for greatest video of the 2000's. Plus Panic! At The Disco is my favorite band!

Chester had some sweet hair back in the day.. - Chickenlegs

Great song, awesome video clip

Super cool song.. classic

NO. - AlphaQ

Wonderfully creepy. CG looks a bit dated now, but the concept still works great.

It’s very weird. I think they were on drugs back then. - Userguy44

This video is great...

The song is very good and has a message

The best video so far
Expressing all that needs to be known by the new generation.
A great song with the deep message... Explained by the video

Heartwarming music video...something ONLY LP can do

Beautiful video on human distruction of enviorment

Young Madonna in bed wearing an iron slave collar... What more can you want?

Express yourself to get what you want.. To be who you want to be.. And to have that motivation, this song can be a tool to do that... The power of positivity is what the song preaches... So go ahead express it..

This music video was years ahead of its time; it spoke of women rights and standing up for what you believe in. It made a difference.

A truly iconic video for so many reasons.

Such a fun music video showing the youth of teens in the 90's!

Be this 1st

I'd still be hated because of my Super Bowl performance - TopTenListmaker

This is a song that could change a persons life.

In this music video we can see that their friendship are true... This is one of the best video I've ever watched. Just extremely touching...

There is so much feeling in this song and video

Chris had to memorize the lyrics BACKWARDS! I MEAN COME ON! It's an EPIC EPIC video

This is the saddest thing ever! - MrHyde
