TOP HD MUSIC VIDEOS TV

With that in mind, here are just a few VHS creations thatВ channel that DIY spirit and have us longing for a simpler time. With more and more artists are ditching the dollar for a shaky, handheld home movie, music videos areВ throwing back toВ the 80s and 90s with beautiful results. However, as music videos evolve into huge, polished productions, the appeal of a lo-fi, DIY creation has never been more apparent. With agenda-setting artists like Bjork, Azealia Banks and Death Grips bringing interactivity to the fore, Sia bringing performance art to the masses and Rihanna channelling all her cult film knowledge into one explosive creation, music videos have never been bigger, better or more relevant. From AdeleвЂ™s вЂњHelloвЂќ to ZZ TopвЂ™s вЂњGimme All Your Lovin'вЂќ - these are the videos that continue to thrill us, delight us, disturb us, and remind us just how much you can do in three to four minutes with a song, a camera, a concept, a pose, some mood lighting, and an iconic hand gesture or two.Despite the fact that music video channels are basically defunct, the past few years have seen the biggest golden era in music vids since Michael and Janet JacksonвЂ™s insane, 4.4 million dollar masterpiece вЂњ ScreamвЂќ. But all of these picks are perfect examples of how pairing sound and vision created an entire artistic vocabulary, gave us a handful of miniature-movie masterpieces, and changed how we heard (and saw) music. No, вЂњThrillerвЂќ is not.) A few pre-date the channel several have never played on MTV at all. YouвЂ™ll notice some significant changes from the last time we did this.

In honor of MTVвЂ™s 40th anniversary, weвЂ™ve decided to rank the top 100 music videos of all time.

Four decades after the channelвЂ™s launch and long after it stopped playing them, music videos still complement songs, create mythologies, and cause chatter and controversy.

The internet soon stepped in to fill the void. The format proved so durable that when MTV decided to switch things up and devote its air time to game shows, reality TV, and scripted series, thus shutting down the primary pipeline for these promos, artists still kept making them. Entire genres and subgenres - from hip-hop to grunge to boy-band pop to nu metal - became part of the mainstream. The network revolutionized the music industry, inspired a multitude of copycat programming, made many careers, and broke more than a few. Virtually everyone knew what a music video was, and they wanted their MTV. At this point, viewers might have a few questions, like: Is this like a radio station on TV? What is a вЂњVJвЂќ? And what the hell is a вЂњmusic videoвЂќ?ДЄ year later, no one was asking that last question. This wasnвЂ™t a news channel it was вЂњMusic Television.вЂќ If they kept tuning in, theyвЂ™d see clips and hear VJs talk about bringing you the latest in music videos.

And then theyвЂ™d hear a voiceover, with all the smooth patter of an FM disc jockey: вЂњLadies and gentlemen, rock & roll.вЂќ Cue power chords, and a flag with a network logo - something called MTV - that rapidly changed colors and patterns.
