Top 100 Greatest Music Videos- 30-21

21. Queen: I Want to Break Free: 1984: Queens video to this song created uproar in America. It changed their image, as the band member dressed as household women, causing the to loose many of their fans in America.

22. Justin Timberlake: Cry Me a River: 2003


23.Britney Spears: ...Baby One More Time: 1999: There is controversy surrounding this video, and whether the song and the video are perverted- having Britney in a skimpy school girl outfit, singing "hit me baby one more time".
24. Radiohead: No Surprises: 1998: This video demonstrated the physical and mental pain that artists are willing to go, to create the art that is their music video. Radiohead's lead singer Thomas York spent the duration of the video with his head in a tank which slowly filled with water. He had to hold his breath in the water motionless for over a minute, which was a struggle that he wanted to overcome to create the intended intensity of the video, which he did, very successfully.


25. Madness: Baggy Trousers: 1980: Madness enjoyed making crazy accentric video's- the video in question includes the sax player flying above the band on a wire during his solo, for no apparent reason.
26. TLC: Waterfalls: 1995: Was the fisrt vide to use 3D digital technology.

27. David Bowie: Ashes to Ashes: 1980: Made of abstract ideas, with no assosiation or meaning.

28. Foo Fighters: Learn to Fly: 1999

29. Electric Six: Gay Bar: 2003: This video makes a very strong suggestion that President Lincoln was gay, which caused obvious controvery in America.
30. Weezer: Buddy Holly: 1995: Postmodern video, mergin scenes of the band with scenec from the program 'Happy Days', making it look as though the band featured in the program.
