Rock me tonight wasnt necessarily a bad video, it just ruined Billy Squires career because h was dancing around like an idiot in it

Norah Jones "Sunrise sunset" just makes me cringe when she dances

Anything from the early 80s staring Billy Joel

There are two I don't like:

*PJ and Duncan (Ant and Dec)- Let's Get Ready to R(h)umble
I thought PJ was blind, but in the video he's obviously not. And who in the name of arse thought of putting an H in Rumble?

*Cliff Richard- Millennium Prayer
In the bit where he sings about forgiving those who trespass against us, there's a picture of a Nazi concentration camp. So... are we supposed to just say, "No hard feelings, Hitler, you didn't mean to kill all those Jews, did ya?"
And all the way through that video, he looks as though he thinks he's Jesus or something.

"Landslide" from the Dixie Chicks looked like it belonged on a nine-year-old girl's wall.

Creed videos are uniformly bad.

"Bring Me to Life" will continue to entertain fans of bad music videos for generations to come.

Creed's Greatest Music Videos on DVD will turn out to be just one video because they're all the same anyway, why not save the space. ::)

"All Night Long (All Night)" by Lionel Richie is kind of weird.
"Opposites Attract" by Paula Abdul, is just not cool.  Sorry but I'm not into the whole "let's do a duet with a cartoon cat" thing.
"Puttin' on the Ritz" by Taco.. 'nuff said?
"Pop Muzik" by M.  The guys in bad suits, and the chick lying on top of a piano spinning records into the air.  It's awful, man.  Awful.

Anything with Clay Aiken because I hate seeing his ugly face.

Second


"The Safety Dance" is a classic video.

Well, the cheesiest medieval themed video has to be "Holy Diver" (Dio). Atleast it's worth watching compared to any video from Creed. The "Arms Wide Open" video reminds me of a Skittles commercial, but without the Skittles.  :P

Taco's is definitely the worst ever in my book. :P :P

Clay Aiken has long eye lashes like a girl. I also think he has a weird looking face too.

-Come On Eileen--Dexy's Midnight Runners
-Said I Loved You (But I Lied)--Michael Bolton.  A classic case of a bad video accompanying a bad song.
-I don't care for any of Celine Dion's videos.

Maybe its just me, but I think a lot of todays hip hop/rap videos are AWFUL!! Only because they are all the same!!!
Once in awhile someone will make something good, like Nas "I Can" or Black Eyed Peas "Where is the Love". But mostly the videos contain mostly of four or five things:

Expensive cars I will never drive
Expensive jewelry I will never wear ( Bling Bling! :-/)
Thin, scantilly clad women whom I will NEVER look like!
Expensive houses or clubs which I will never live in or attend respectivley
and of course...

The rappers themselves who are always in unbelievably large groups (can't they rap by themselves?) hop around waving their arms and looking tough, who I will never meet.


I am not bitter about these things but I would like it if maybe they could make a video about how life used to be like when these rappers were nobody's like us..... 8)


But other than that, I don't like Creed's videos and I can't really think of any videos of the top of my head but if I have a chance I'll think of more.

Actually there's many, like myself, who dislikes current hip hop videos. It was mentioned on a thread about current hip hop a few weeks ago.

Just about every music video R.E.M. has done (I like their music, but I just can't bare their videos...except for maybe "Shiny Happy People"...because that cute red head chic from B-52's was in it (forget her name)).

Also, most rap & R&B videos.

Unfathomable.  What about the awesome "Everybody Hurts" video?  I know a lot of people liked the video for "Losing My Religion."  And their video for "Imitation of Life" was absolutely brilliant.

Unfortunately, I saw that video today.  :P

Has to be the worst video from this year that isn't from a teenybopper act or rap group/artist.

Besides the Courtney Love video I saw a few days ago.   :-X

Don't know which song it is, but the JLo where she copies Flashdance.  Then again, pretty much any J Lo video. ::)

I think that was "I'm Glad". Also wins a prize for some of the worst lyrics of all time too. Though technically they're not bad lyrics, they're just bland.
