Q Magazine’s Top Videos of All Time

Da Music Issue

April’s Issue of Q (An English Music Mag, that I sometimes read) named what they saw as the Best Videos of all time. Here are some of my personal favorites from the list. I was going to do more, but I have run out of time sadly….

(tip to watch videos, choose a lower band width than you have got, that way you don’t drop as many frames.)

Johnny Cash: Hurt (NIN Cover)

Nivarna: Smells Like Teen Spirit

Christina Aguilera: Dirrty

Madonna: Vogue
(Personally I prefer Justify My Love, so if you haven’t seen it, here is the unedited version as banned on MTV)

-and as an extra side note, the first time I saw the full version of Justify My Love was in my History of Western Civilization class since MTV wouldn’t play it. My professor said that this video was the cumilation of everything the whole culture was about. Don’t ask for the explaination, I had long forgotten, but I still love the video. Oddly Dax was also in the class and he just thought our gay professor wanted to get off in front of 40 people (only he could say things like that and get away with it it) so strange all these different memories converging this week.
