81. Ultravox: Vienna: 1981: The dramatics and theatrical nature of this video was an attempt to create a 'mini movie'.
82. 50 Cent: In Da Club: 2003: This video was a marketing tool for the artist.
83. Shakespear's Sister: Stay: 1992
84. The Boomtown Rats: I Don't Like Mondays:1979: Again this is an example of a video that tells a story. This tells the true story of a girl, living in America, who went to the roof of her school one Monday and shot a number of students and teachers. The fact that she was a perfectly 'normal' girl made people question her motives for doing it.
85. Sid Vicious: My Way: 1979
86. The Streets: Fit But You Know It: 2004
87. Talking Heads: Once in a Lifetime: 1981: This video is made up of a number of abstract ideas, and was exhibited as a piece of art in the New York Museum. The singer of Talking Heads spent time in a mental institutuion to pick up the actions and behaviours of various patients, and then used their movements as his dancing.
88. Elton John: I Want Love: 2001: due to the fact that Elton John did not like to star in front of the camera in his music videos, this video began the trend of having famous people to lip sync to the song, in this case, Robert Downey Jr.
89. Smashing Pumpkins: Tonight Tonight: 1996
90. The Pet Shop Boys: Go West: 1993: This was one of the first videos to be considered to be an artform. The director of the video was Howard Greenhalgh, who directed 11 of the Pet Shop Boys videos.
