Let's talk about music videos, the ones you liked. (And maybe the worst ones for laughs)
I am old enough to remember the 80s heyday of MTV, when it was vital for a band to have a video if they wanted to be anybody. In those days videos were often made very cheaply using minimal props and videotape instead of film, which lent a certain look to them. Some of them were very creative and fit the music, and some of them were obviously just phoned in with minimal effort on the part of the video producers. But the good ones were the ones that really made an impression on you, and years later you still remember them.
One of my favorites introduced me to John Fogarty and then on to his earlier stuff with Creedence Clearwater Revival. Really creative and cinematic, despite apparently not being a high budget affair, and that shot at the end with Fogarty and his guitar is iconic. Always loved this vid.
