For myself that would be"Take on Me" a song by the Norwegian band a-ha.Released in 1985.The innovative video was an amalgamation of rotoscope-style animation and live-action..Ok,i`m Norwegian ;-).But this video did have something new,never seen before.And it did have a great impact on me.Other favorites out there?

George Harrison's "I've Got My Mind Set on You" with his study coming to life around him is a personal favorite (probably the rocking grandfather clock is the best part).

My favorite is VAN HALEN's Hot For Teacher. Twenty years later I still crack up every time I watch it.

Wasn't there actually two videos for that song? I seem to remember another one where a young teenage female looking at a nickelodeon peep-show at an arcade. The teenage boy in that video (can't remember his name right now) later was in the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" TV series.

Any video that starts off with a disclaimer can't be all that bad. Throw in a scantily clad woman, a bus crashing through a wall of TVs and an explosion makes this video a guys fantasy.

"Explosion"? Do you think this was probably Michael Bay's favorite music video before he got into show biz? Posts: 3385 | From: Sacramento, California, USA | Registered: Sep 2002 | Site Updates: 0

Fuse had a series of week long half hour shows about videos that changed the music world. HFT was one of the episodes.

These are all great videos, but, do you remember when Michael Jackson's "Thriller" came out? I've never been a huge MJ fan, but, it was a ground-breaking video for its time...

Love the end tag there: "Any relation to characters living, dead (or undead) is purely coincidental."

I remember when I was in elementary school kids having slumber parties and renting THE MAKING OF THRILLER. Thats how HUGE Michale Jackson and the Thriller video were at that point in time, people based a whole PARTY around watching that video!
Its such a pity that Michael Jackson has become such a joke ... in the 80s he was such a huge phenomena.

I liked Sunglasses at Night. I thought Corey Hart was so hot then. And I like the older black and white videos Depeche Mode put out in the 80s.
