[Music] What is the greatest music video of all time?

[Bowielee]

I was going to link "Dirrty" or something similar and say it explores the boundaries between (soft) porn and the video clip, which is important and whatnot, but that got me thinking; who or where did that trend start? Not "girls wearing short skirts" but really, obviously and deliberately, making a video as close as possible to softcore porn? My mind goes straight to Madonna, of course, but I'm not sure. Anyone?

You could MAYBE point at Erotica as the first music video to really push the sexual content envelope.

Of course, now we have stuff like Rammstein's Pussy, which actually goes straight past soft-core and into hard-core. Money shots and all.

I dunno if it's the best, but's a huge ass music video for an entire album.

I think this video may be the most widely-viewed music video in modern times.

D'oh!

I shall hang my head in shame for a period no less than ten minutes.

Any Talking Heads video is greater than Thriller.

Of course I pretty much hate choreography music videos. To me 40 people with coordinated epilepsy is just plain silly.
