That Creep video I posted awhile back was at one of those Spring Break jiggle fests. Nothing gets the party vibes jumping more than Radiohead.

I would think any video should be eligible, although clearly the medium dropped off big time once MTV changed its programming structure to de-emphasize videos. Beavis and Butthead should provide a wealth of material, for sure.

Glad to see there is some interest. The potential issue with such a countdown is that the height of MTV (at least when it was almost entirely videos) probably preceded a lot of folks here, and many that were of the age probably don't recall many of the videos. But I have a few sites that can...

Dolby also played keyboards on Def Leppard's previously ranked Pyromania.

Happy 44th anniversary, MTV Would still like to do an MTV video countdown this fall if there is enough interest.

We talked about this album a lot in the recent MAD countdown, and it's a doozy. I'm also a big album cover art guy and this one is among my favorites.

Clearly MAC_32 is a huge Thomas Dolby fan.

Indeed - but as a 40-year-old in HS (actually 33), she did have a world of experience.

It didn't get on my radar for this countdown, but I've always really liked it.

Guess he rescued her from herself that year. :shrug: 1977 was an even bigger year for Shire - composed the music for Something for Joey as well (beautiful score).

Just learned that David Shire, who wrote Manhattan Skyline and a few other songs on the soundtrack, was married to Talia Shire (hence her married name) from 1970 to 1980 and later married Didi Conn (Frenchy from the 1977 movie Grease). Clearly loved those second-tier '70s actresses.

Manhattan Skyline is one of those songs typically viewed as filler, but it's among my favorites on the soundtrack.

Agreed. Although Etienne seems to be getting some positive comments as well. May be a maddening situation unless one of them takes over, and I wouldn’t rule out the rookie yet either. We just have to draft accordingly..

Yes, I'm also surprised that people are surprised about the one voters. There are a gazillion albums and we each could select only 70 of them. And many selected more than one from the same artist, thus shrinking the pool of artist selection.

Not sure - not like New England has had a ton of coaches over the years, although they do seem to come from the same Belichick tree - so that could still be in effect.
