The best Prince Music Video

Prince has many music videos that are but which does everyone consider the best. I think Money Dont Matter. The one with the man talking at the beginning. The video captured what life in America was like at that time.

So what do you think is his best video

Dirty Mind and it was cool how Andre stole the mic from Prince. Or was it Uptown? Since they both produced on the same stage.

"Batdance" is a pretty awesome video to go along with an awesome song...

"When Doves Cry" is awesome for the first half and then it goes into some weird acid-trip-like effects, I have no idea why...

And I used to think that "Girls and Boys" was a pretty cool video as well (or at least up until the second time I saw it). I began to notice how much of a guy Wendy was starting to look like and I wondered why Bobby Z. suddenly looked like an old-Harvey Fierstein. At least the song was awesome...

I'm partial to Automatic, Raspberry Beret, Kiss, & Violet the Organ Grinder (although there are several I haven't seen...)
The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp.

Raspberry Beret is pretty madd.
I like Scandolous just cause of the slow dance moves he does
My Name Is Prince is pretty cool.....i dunno if the 1 i have the proper film clip but Kirsty Alley gets pushed over at the start which is funny, and prince wid the gun mic and the golden veil is pretty cool!
But i dunno the man has soooo many film clips its hard 2 choose!

GETT OFF and Cream was really cool! I loved those two videos when they came out, actually I loved that era the "D&P"-era.

I remember Somebody's Somebody looking rather classy as well. But it's been quite sometime since I've seen it.

Gangster Glam! Oh boy it looks like they were all having fun that day. And the girl was such a cutie in the video. She definatly had that Vanity/Apollonia look. I wish I was her and had Prince's arms all over me. love

Kiss is the best video hands down, with Anotherlover coming in at second.

Music videos have never been his strong point. I think his only real "classic" video is Kiss. Other than that, I like When Doves Cry and Money Don't Matter 2 Night.

Let's Go Crazy to me captures that classic Prince excitement the best.

Little Red Corvette was the first to make me take notice.

Prince's videos suck, I'm sorry!

AUTOMATIC nod that's Prince as unabashed as he gets. It almost feels like a home bootleg or something.

Someone said that videos arent his stong point. Keep in mind it really comes down to the director. But then again this is Prince and he most likely did direct most of then
