Tuesday Tunes: Week 152

From Music Memoirs

1. What is your favorite music video? The Moody Blues - Your Wildest Dreams: This video has always been my favorite. Sure there are other great videos, but none as wonderful as this one for me.



2. Do you think that videos are as important today as they were when Mtv started out?
No, not at all, at least not in the way that videos were in the 80s. I find it hard to believe that artists still spend hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars on them. Mtv seldom plays videos these days and most video viewing is done on a PC. Somehow that doesn't really seem to make watching them feel all that fun anymore.

3. In your opinion, which artist consistently does or did the best videos?
Hands down, Madonna. Say what you will about her music but her videos have always been talked about. I'm sure if she lasts Lady Gaga can be included, but right now, Madge is the woman to beat. You can't take away all the talk and controversy over the videos for Like A Prayer,  Justify My Love and Open Your Heart.

Plus how many women can get away with wearing their underwear as outerwear? Madonna made it cool, even if it became obnoxious.
