I started a thread a while back about badly made music videos with no redeeming qualities, but this thread is asking about your picks for badly executed music videos and songs that are still awesome (to you) regardless of cheap green screen effects, scene skipping, or just "WTF was that video about syndrome." MY PICKS ARE BELOW, ADD YOURS.


Kareoke madness in a prom dress I think used to be a shower curtain _ still awesome.


Creepy, screaming guy who is covered in red stage makeup, but he's a cutie! = awesomeness.


Not quite sure why everyone is so pissed in this video when they are so beautiful, but this is top shelf Britney and is pure lusciousness.

Your picks?

Black Flag - TV Party Tonight



Beastie Boys - Sabotage



Nu Shooz - I Can't Wait



The Killers - All These Things That I've Done

There's more, but I can't recall at the moment.

Those selections made me feel good.
Total ownage with The Beastie Boys and Nu Shooz!

I agree with GuiltyGear about 'Liar'. To be a good video it needed to be Henry Rollins shirtless without orange paint.

Here is a song I love, but the video was completely uninteresting:



Good song but it looks like the video was thrown together in an hour:



With such a cool song and vocals from Antony Hegarty of Antony and The Johnsons it should have been an excellent video:

WHy'd you take Bjork away, Steltom.
I think most of her videos could make this list.

Well not 'It's Oh So Quiet.' A great song and one of the best videos of all time.

I don't agree. The song is quirky to a fault, but still delightful like most of her stuff. She can get away with it and the video is soooo WTF....but if you wanna flame war over it.

..............

I think I laughed for so long after I saw this "literal" take on a really bad video from the 80s

I took them away. I kinda misunderstood the subject. I LOVE all the Bjork video's that I put up here. I also think they are all very good songs. I just think they are kind of quirky. I dig the whole dance show aspect of It's Oh So Quiet. The crazy futuristic demented-ness of Army of Me and all of them...

The Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar
I really hope they didn't pay more than $10 to make this video.

No?

Ok... in all seriousness:

^ OMG***LOL!

It's weird. I saw the awfulness...I heard the awfulness, but still watched it all the way through and loved it!

You chose Kate Bush??????????

Glad you enjoyed 'em GG.

I should credit Dalida though for being an accomplished singer. She was quite famous in France in her day.

steltom saidYou chose Kate Bush??????????

Yeah? The thread is badly made music videos with songs you like regardless. You gotta a problem with Kate Bush?

Alright I'm wrong. I LOVE Kate Bush. Forgot how dumb that video was. I watched it and yes I agree it should be in this list.......

steltom saidAlright I'm wrong. I LOVE Kate Bush. Forgot how dumb that video was. I watched it and yes I agree it should be in this list.......

LOL! All is forgiven.

LOL, flaming completely allowed on this thread you guys.

I ain't bein the cause of no flamin... Though that is a cool assed pict...

I love this song.

Now how could there be a flame war with GuiltyGear? He's one the people on RJ that even when his posts are in disagreement on a thread, always remain respectful.

The QUEENS of bad, but fun.

"Bastards Of The Young" by The Replacements. Not even sure if it's available anywhere now.

Basically, it's a camera pointed at a speaker for most of the video. It was their way of saying F-you to MTV for not showing their video for The Ledge, which was a song about suicide. Funny thing is, MTV showed the video for "Jeremey" by Pearl Jam only a few years later. Odd how time changes what is considered acceptable.

Patty Smyth - The Warrior



New Order - True Faith



Queen - I Want To Break Free
