Agreed. Makes sense. It just seems that their importance has died down a bit. [Edited 1/21/08 21:20pm] | |

I think that they will still be around, but as for the stuff which you see on MTV and VH1 (which you rarely see these days), it doesn't make much sense to pay for huge productions considering the return you get on album sales these days. Michael Jackson's videos were cinematic masterpieces, but it also had the effect of driving up the costs of making videos. By the late 1990's and early part of this decade, the average cost of music videos went up to the mid six-figures, and it wasn't uncommon to see million-dollar video productions. Even so, these huge budgets didn't necessarily lead to more creativity or artistry.
Case in point: Kanye West's "Touch The Sky" video. Kanye made a hissy fit at the MTV Europe awards by saying that he spent over a million dollars on that video which featured Pamela Anderson and Tracey Ellis Ross. Granted, it was an entertaining video, but consider the money spent on that video compared to the money OK Go! spent on "Here It Goes Again" (the infamous treadmill video). OK Go! probably spent a total of $500 on that video and yet it was one of the most popular videos of 2006. With the status of the music industry right now, I think that bands who make music videos will have to scale back their budgets by necessity and find more creative ways to get their image across.  | |

I think they're dying off... not worth the cost. fans will create their own videos to the songs on youtube. | |

Unless it's a major artist who's known for videos (i.e. MJ, Madonna..) But for die hard music fans, i think they always have some type of significance.  some things in life can be oh soooo...

this might be an indication -
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The International Music Feed was a music channel that played music from around the world. It was the only channel in the US that combined music from American artists with music from other countries across the globe. IMF had a unique format of playing music videos almost exclusively which was in direct contrast to so-called music channels that dedicate very little programming time to actual music videos such as MTV, VH1, and FUSE. With IMF leaving the air on January 9th, cable and satellite lose one of the only (if not the only) 24-hr channels dedicated to music videos including hip/hop, pop, indie-rock, punk and many other types of artists from around the globe. It was announced January 7, 2008, that the station would be going off the air. January 9th is the end of the station's run, as Ovation TV has purchased the channel and will replace it with Ovation TV [1] | |

For instance, ZZ Top's "Balinese" will always represent the night me and the head cheerleader watched submarine races. I don't really want the artist's (or worse yet, some snotty director's) visual interpretation. I think it's a shame if people associate one of their favorite songs not with their own life experiences, but with a scene-cut-every-second frentic video. Well put and I totally agree. For some of the same reasons, I prefer instrumental music over vocal music. Submitting a general feeling instrumentally and letting the listener's own mind fill in the details. tA  Tribal Disorder
