Top 10 Videos

In a simpler time, songs were probably enough to capture the imagination of the listeners. That was probably when there was only a handful of records out, and a single could stay in the charts for 5 months without ever reaching number 1. So my dad says anyway. Once, an appearance on Top Of The Pops (now defunct) was enough to secure you a decent climb on the charts. However, thanks to the rise of MTV during the 80's, a record will sink or swim based on rotation on the many music channels available. Here is my Top 10 favourite music video's. 10.

On the opposite side we've all watched the incredible video that's so good you never even notice the song is utterly flat until you hear it on the radio one day and think "How did I ever think this rubbish was good?" To be on a top ten list, in my opinion, a music ...  Read the complete review

When I used to have Sky, ( I don't anymore. It's too good for the likes of me. OK, I'm lying it was too expensive) I used to just go through a channel hopping extravaganza, and it was normally based along the lines of the music channels.

They always do that when your trying to get one off the internet don't they? God - It's annoying. You know what else is annoying? Hardly any music videos these days are just really glamerous with some person dancing ...  Read the complete review
