January 30th, 2005

A Top 20 list of music videos has been compiled in a poll commissioned by
the mobile phone company 3, as a way to celebrate over 3 decades of music
videos. Michael Jackson’s famous ‘Thriller’ short film made it to position 2
on the list while ‘Billie Jean’ came in at #5:

Hurt - Johnny Cash
Thriller - Michael Jackson
Come To Daddy - Aphex Twin
Just - Radiohead
Billie Jean - Michael Jackson
Panellists included musicians Norman Cook, Tom Fletcher (McFly), and Michael
Stipe (REM) along with Brit Award nominees Franz Ferdinand, Bjork, Amy
Winehouse, and Robert Smith.
Tom Fletcher, from boy band McFly chose Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ video
and added:

“A good video shows a band’s personality and should make the song better. It
should be able to stand on its own.”
