I loved the one of Christopher Walken in the Fat boy Slim video in the other thread and it got me thinking....some videos do stand out in your mind. Here's my current favourite.... superb! this is just brilliant, and i really want one of these cars, totally influenced by the ad! How bad is that!!![U][/U] ( should have been Marilyn Manson doing the music though but I suppose that could have had a couple of negative connotations?!! Other good ones are the Guinness ads, (ofcourse) running out of time this morning but will post them later if I can find them. -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning....

The garden through the different times of the day, the different visual styles for each artist.

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Nov. 30 2010, 17:49 Some of my all-time favorites have been already quoted here. I'll add three videos which used to scare me when I was a kid, now I absolutely love them. There isn't a "best video ever" for me... the "King of Pop" Michael Jackson came close to that several times with his highly theatrical, filmic videos ("Thriller", "Bad", "Black or White"), but IMHO there isn't a single video (not even by Jacko) which tops all the others. Anyway... Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight Peter Gabriel - Shock the Monkey Mike Oldfield - Pictures in the Dark and of course... THE Michael Jackson video...

It actually sounds like insects being thumped! Back to top

bee Group: Members Posts: 1227 Joined: Jan. 2004 Posted: Dec. 02 2010, 04:39 I loved that Peter Gabriel song ~ shock the monkey, I just really like his style...made me remember the Big Time as well...he was way ahead of his time then. peter gabriel Lene Lovitch, had totally forgotten her! so was really good to see that again! ...and oooooo, Herbie Hancock's "Rock It" is just weird, made me feel very uncomfortable, but I have got a bit of a thing about mannequins, they give me the creeps...always have...so to see them dismembered was distrubing to say the least. good to see a random collection of videos... -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning....

wiga Group: Members Posts: 2113 Joined: Sep. 2008 Posted: Dec. 02 2010, 07:04 This is a great home video. A Water Slide Milamber and Nightspore might enjoy having one of these for their heatwave. -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon. Back to top

Hastengas Group: Members Posts: 319 Joined: Nov. 2010 Posted: Dec. 02 2010, 08:15 Love the Kate Bush video, not seen that in years. I knew Kate when we were teenagers in Welling....she was quite shy believe it or not. Back to top

wiga Group: Members Posts: 2113 Joined: Sep. 2008 Posted: Dec. 02 2010, 08:20 Hastengas - I can believe it - that she was shy. How well did you know her? I recently bought her new biography - "Under the Ivy" by Graeme Thomson. I 've only just started it - but beautifully written. -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon. Back to top

Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Dec. 02 2010, 09:40 A video I posted last year I think and you've all probably seen already but might as well add here if we are making a collection - still impresses me just as much as the first time I watched it Inspired Bicycles -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

I shall never look at The Snowman in quite the same way again. Marvellous! -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning....

I recently bought her new biography - "Under the Ivy" by Graeme Thomson. I 've only just started it - but beautifully written. Just to chat to...her fathers house (he was a Dr) backed onto a yard I worked in as a teenager (the aptly named Bin Away). I heard someone humming one day and I climbed up onto the fence and there was this startling looking girl humming away....I startled her but she said hello, what are you doing? and it went from there, was very casual, I seem to remember a white rabbit too. A few years later I bumped into her in Catford coming out of a studio and we exhanged pleasantries...she had done some demos and said she was hoping to break into the charts at some point....I happened to know the bloke who owned this little studio, so it was pure coincidence...and was the last time I saw her until she came onto Top of the Pops with Wuthering Heights....I was really thrilled for her. And its a very small claim to fame, she was lovely. Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Dec. 13 2010, 10:11 Quote (Cavalier (Lost Version) @ Dec. 13 2010, 15:53) I'm off to find the Bruces' Philosophers Song... @ Cavalier: Here it is! Here it is I don't think the Pythons ever made a proper "video" for this - apart from the Hollywood Bowl performance, which is great. @ Matt: the Irn Bru ad is indeed very humourous - the way the song starts evokes a certain mood, but then the lyrics say something completely different. The imagery reminds me of a Queen video, I'm not telling you which one, you may surely guess it as some of the drawings are nearly identical. BTW, what kind of drink is Irn Bru? Beer? Or something like Red Bull? -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
