Back in the 70's and early 80's, most videos were less appealing to say the least. Just basic promo tools for the song with no substance. That is until The Jacksons "Can You Feel It" video changed the landscape of videos forever. Then, Michael took it a step further with the video to "Billie Jean". The rest as they say is history. So I would like for you to list your top 20 music videos of all time. Remember, the video itself because you can have a great song but the video turns out to be crap. I'm anxious to see your lists. Here's my all time faves:

1. Michael Jackson-Smooth Criminal

2. Genesis-Land Of Confusion

3. Peter Gabriel-Sledgehammer

4. Michael Jackson-Thriller

5. Red Hot Chili Peppers-Give It Away

6. Eminem-The Way I Am

7. Justin Timberlake-Rock Your Body

8. Michael and Janet Jackson-Scream

9. Janet Jackson-Love Will Never Do (Without You)

10. Ice Cube/Dr. Dre-Natural Born Killaz

11. Prince-When Doves Cry

12. L.L. Cool J-Going Back To Cali

13. Duran Duran-Wild Boys

14. Public Enemy-Shut 'Em Down

15. Usher-Yeah

16. Cameo-Candy

17. Robert Palmer-Addicted To Love

18. Weird Al Yankovic-Fat

19. Mariah Carey-Honey
