What's Your Favorite Music Video?
Music videos have been around for some time now, however, really started making a visual statement (as art) in their own right (apart from the song); probably in the late 1980's. This was when "basic" special effects (generated by computers) came along.Back then, (if you lived in Australia) you had to watch a show called "Countdown" (top of the pops format -on TV) to see your favorite musicians perform. In Australia, The ABC television station has a music video all night (weekends) TV show called "Rage" . In America it is MTV (or it was in the late eighties). Nowadays; of course, we have most music videos on youtube.
Anyway, you get the idea.

Sometimes I ask what love really is.

I love that song BR
This UK (Manchester) band, was well ahead of their time. Along with Kraftwerk (Germany), they were some of the true pioneers of Electronic Music. This song does not sound dated - and still resonates, (in an influential way), to this very day:
Along with this piece of Electronica genius.........

Speaking of Kraftwerk......
