What's your opinion? Good or Bad.
IMO, "You Might Think" (The Cars) & "One" (Metallica) should've been ranked on the top 30 spot.
She Works Hard For The Money" (Donna Summer) doesn't belong on this list.
And this should've been "Top 100 Videos of the 1980's".
Plus, some videos that should've been listed like:
Genesis "Land Of Confusion"
Madness "Our House"
David Lee Roth "Just A Gigolo'I Ain't Got Nobody"
Duran Duran "Girls On Film"
Talking Heads "Burning Down The House"
New Order "True Faith"
Neil Young "This Note's For You"
Madonna "Material Girl"
Janet Jackson "When I Think Of You"
The Cure "Close To Me"

I would like to see Flit-boy Jackson and Madonna move down the list and have Def Leppard, Van Halen, The Police and A-ha...and a few others move past them to the top :)

What's your opinion? Good or Bad.
Genesis "Land Of Confusion"
David Lee Roth "Just A Gigolo'I Ain't Got Nobody"
Talking Heads "Burning Down The House"
Madonna "Material Girl"
These are the ones I think belong. I don't think Billie Jean should have been number 1, though. I can see Thriller at 1 but not Billie Jean. I also like those four choices that you picked that should have been there.
I agree that One should have placed higher. It is a very moving song and video.
(then again, we all know the people at VH1 are a bunch of idiots.)

I've never even heard this song :-[ so I think this shouldn't be in the top 10.
6. "Photograph" Def Leppard
This is a tough list. I can think of tons of songs I like more than those in the top 10. I'd probably rip it to pieces. I like a-ha being there though. ;)
