I spend a decent amount of time on youtube lately mostly listening to music, and occasionally I will find the old music video for a song. Yesterday I found this in my recommends and quite frankly I think it rules:

What old music videos do you think have stood the test of time and still rule to this day? Or maybe they were ahead of their time and not that popular back in the day. Either way :justpost:

Black Gold!

One of the first music videos to use CGI. It beat out Thriller at the 1984 MTV Video Music Awards, which I think is bullshit, but whatevs.

Also nominated for video of the year at the same awards (and loving OWNS):

I really just like this song, and also the replacements were on the cusp of making it big but pretty much intentionally hosed it up because they didn't want it (ie the infamous snl appearance where they were clearly drunk and barely capable of performing). this video is part of that

Their record label also pressured them to make music videos for their songs when they didn’t want to, but the label insisted so they made a music video of a still image of a speaker as a big gently caress you to the label. It’s great.

This is the earliest brand new music video I can remember watching. I must have been 3 at the time, and the part where the rug swallows Billy Joel made me feel very uncomfortable.

How does that happen? Thriller is the GOAT and it's not even close.
