[Edited 9/21/08 13:04pm] I'm guessing you are under 25? My point is....the "1999" video is awesome. So is "When Doves Cry." I personally think those videos are way better than any of the expensive crappy videos that get made today. Prince made plenty of dope ass videos just performing on a stage with his band (just look at the 4 videos he made for the 1999 album just performing onstage...1999/Little Red Corvette/Automatic/Let's Pretend We're Married)...that's what happens when you got talent, you don't need some fancy schmansy million dollar video with a story line and a million camera cuts, all you need is one or two cameras and a stage and you perform your ass off. i will agree with u on this point. prince has made it clear from video number one that he was a musician and not some gimmick artist that needs more flash than substance 2 get their point across. madonna is a visual artist and that's y a video done by her will get more praise than a per4mance clip from prince. tho i will say that diamonds and pearls is one of my favorites because it's different than others he has done man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

Smack My Bitch Up is my favorite video next to NIN's Closer.They all look cheap--and not in the 'indie' cheap kind of way. I love a few of them (Kiss, Raspberry Berret, Get Off), but I love them as a fan--not because they're any good. As far as the list, did The Prodigy's "Smack my Bitch Up" make the list? That video is awesome.  Oh gosh, I have a love affair with CLOSER
When I first saw the video, I saw the unedited version in Europe and loved it. Then i saw the edited version in the US and laughed at the fact that rather than replace the scenes or blur things out, he placed notices stating "scene missing" to point out the censorship constraints in backass America.
great video | |

This is true. But it doesn't make those great videos. This is about great videos, of which, Prince doesn't make...perhaps because of his exceeding talent...but for whatever reasons, a Prince video appearing on the list would be, to say the very list, surprising. | |

I love Prince as much as the next person - but his videos suck. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

I must be weird but I like Princes videos. I don't think he has the best videos in the world but I like them.
And why wasn't MJs Black or White up there? That was an awesome video. Or Remember the Time was really good too. | |

IMHO...
The only Prince video I see on a top 10 list is the vid for "Kiss". Is the "Kiss" video a top 10 of all time? Doubtful.  I'm firmly planted in denial | |

Prince's videos simply don't. no, I love them as much as the next fan. they're fun. they show off what's important with Prince, which is his talent as a performer (oh, and makeup and high heels and thongs, etc.). but they aren't actually GOOD videos. | |

sandraparke said: Just watched the top 10 videos of all time on mtv, no mention of any Prince videos making it in there, Michael Jackson and Madonna were there, i can think of loads of videos of Princes' that should have made it, can you?
.. that's what you call .. the WB blacklist  .. there are folks still carrying a grudge against Prince... it's ok cause BET got him in the top 10.. probably 2 of his vids.. | |

I guess there could only be one video from an artist,and "Thriller" was the video they chose (rightfully so).I still can't see why they picked Madonna's "Ray Of Light" instead of "Like A Prayer" which is better and much more interesting. | |

I honestly don't think Prince's videos are cheap and ameteurish...I mean come on this is the 80s we are talking about lol, everyone's vids kinda looked like that in the 80's. It wasn't until about the 90's when they started looking a little better. And Ray of Light is an awful song with the most annoying video ive ever seen. I think Cherish is a better video than that (and i didn't care too much for that vid either). | |

My favorite videos are from Diamonds & Pearls. They're very beautiful and the scenes at the train station etc are a cool add. | |

I totally dig Get Off, R. Beret, and D&P. Looking at what else is on that list, I can't believe none of P's vidz made it. I'm still barfing at the #1 spot. | |

If there's one thing you always used to be able to rely on, and that was Thriller topping any 'best videos' charts... seems things have changed. | |
