The song may be good, the song may be bad, but for sure the video absolutely sucks. Post your worst!

My submissions:

White Stripes - "Seven Nation Army" - aka, ever-zoom-in
Asia - "Heat of the Moment" - video tiles from hell

and last but not least, the one that I think will be the hardest for any of you to top:
Van Halen - "Pretty Woman" - words escape me. I remember seeing this piece of crap way back when on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert and my reaction then is likely what yours is now: "wtf is this piece of crap?"

Every fucking rap video that looks like it was made by a misogynistic 15 year old boy.

beavis and butthead already took this on and showed us all how horrible music videos can be ;p

Horrid... absolutely horrid!



ps: I actually like that White Stripes video.

Couldn't think of any thread that this fit in more...any version of this song in any video makes it suck

Texas Longhorns do Soulja Boy


Mack Brown's response? "Why don't we start tackling and stop dancing."

Wow - to each his own, I guess. I find the constant zoom-in painfully monotonous. After I saw this video (to a song I liked a lot, I might add), I found I couldn't listen to the song anymore because it reminded me too much of the video.

I like it too. It's... hypnotic.

Woah thats the first time I have seen the 7 nation army video, it's a freaking cool ass video!

Justin Timberlake has some pretty awful videos... some to think of, they are really bad.
Lovestoned is about the only video of his that doesn't make me cringe.

It's a shame that some of the best rock groups, mostly the ones that were popular in the late 70's and early 80's, make shitty music videos. They caught on too late that MTV mattered, for publicity and sales, not for quality of music.

And man, that Pretty Woman Van Halen video is awful.

Devo's, "Crack that Whip" video proved you don't need a high budget or professional producer to make an entertaining video so there's no excuse!

Devo - "Whip it"

Put me down as another 7 nation army video lover. It's hypnotic. The White Stripes have all sorts of cool videos IMO.

I'll have to think about the topic and get back later though.

I nominate Love is a Battlefield by Pat Benatar. Shimmying hookers would frighten anyone.

Hmmm, I dunno rhyae. That video shows how bad people could dress in the 80's and how bad they could dance, but at least there's a story to the video! The Van Halen video was just a jumbled mess.

What's funny about this video is Pat Benatar shaking upstairs when she's got nothing to shake. I also remember from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, all the girls that tried to look like Pat!

would like to resubmit the Billy Squire video as a candidate!

It's so bad, it ruined his career!

I challenge anyone to make it through the entire video without laughing.

I liked the White Stripes video as well. Great song too. It's a change from the 1.5 sec per clip videos i come across these days.

Fixed.

Most Linkin Park videos tend to leave me embarassed for being a white male growing up in the suburbs.

I dunno I'm not particularly afraid of being flogged to death by breasts...
