Worst music videos ever

[saabfender]

Every video in the 80s.
Especially if it had a helicopter, shoulder pads, jackets with the sleeves pushed up, and the flippy hair thing.

One of my favorite bad ‘80s videos has a substantial amount of these elements. Behold.

Fantasy - Aldo Nova

I don't know if this one is the worst. I mean, they actually spent some money on costumes and a set. It starts out looking good, but it quickly goes into Spinal Tap territory and gets really cringey with the production. 80's glam metal cheese at its cheesiest!

Crazy bad video, but Savatage were not glam metal... Just sayin'

Here is glam metal for you:

I love King's X, but what were they thinking with this video?

 

[Darkhorse1962]

I always hated this one. Someone needed to explain to Bob that it wasn't a real performance. He can put the mic down.

Obviously

But you gotta admit you were smitten with that lunatic blonde girl. You weren't alone.

David Bowie & Mick Jagger- Dancing in the Street

Pretty rough stuff.

Yep--to quote Family Guy Peter Griffin "That actually happened, and we let it happen."

Cannot give enough "likes" for your comment.

Absolutively my favorite 80's band - but this . . . WHEW!
WARNING: Numerous Cringe-O-Meters were harmed irreparably in the making of this video . . .

"Friday" by Rebecca Black comes to mind, one of the worst songs ever too.

 

[Alacajun]

This is a great thread...

Videos killed Billy Squier IMO

Billy Squire was a rock star getting played on the radio in heavy rotation and and after this video was released he was a joke. It ended his career.

This deserves to be seen.

From time to time I cross path with awesome bands that happen to have some music videos that make me wonder... Why? Why would you do something so cheap?

I know producing a music video is neither cheap neither easy, and most bands just don't care about them, and that is perfectly fine but, if you have to do it, do it right! It's so easy to simply do a "live like" video...

And when talking about bad videos, the first one that comes to mind is Dio's Holy Diver but, you know what? The acting is terrible and also the customs and "effects" but you can tell they tried. I mean, yes, it's really bad, but it's lights years from stuff like this...



Man, I love Rush, but... ***? The 80's made a lot of demage, I can even understand the kimonos from the 70's but the flying Geddy Lee is hard to swallow.

So I wonder, can it get worst than that? Is there any video (from a relatevely big artist) worst than that one?

PS: I posted this in miscellaneous, but I wasn't sure it was the right place, apologies it it is not

Time Stand Still by Rush actually features 2 bass players (Geddy playing bass and singing and Amiee Mann from 'Til Tuesday pretending to run the video camera and singing).

Top this...Good luck!
