Adam and the Ants-Prince Charming

Blur-Coffee and TV

Daft Punk-Da Funk

Foo Fighters-Learn To Fly

Protection is a better video than Teardrop IMHO, but Teardrops definately te better song.

Man this is why I hate my cable company, I don't get Channel 4. Where is the location it is offered, or company which carries it? I heard of Massive Attack by luck, my local radio station was running the most influential albums weekend, and they had two albums. I managed to listen, and I really dig them. I like trip hop, and they make some awesome songs. Besides Protection, I do have teardrops, which I love, are there any other Massive Attack songs I should check out?

 

And We're not going to take it - Twisted Sister should get some love.

What's the Sid Vicious "My Way" video like? I haven't seen it.

 

If it has clips from Goodfellas in it, then it obviously is one of the greatest music videos ever.

'My Way' is down the bottom of the page.

I know you can see the video in the actual movie "Sid & Nancy", where the movie cuts to the video... I am pretty sure that is the one. And Sid Vicious is played by Gary Oldman, who was a great Sid...

I don't like how "November Rain" gets all the hype as the best GNR video, and hardly anyone remembers "Estranged."

It doesn't have Slash by the church, which is the big rock-out moment burned in everyone's memory. It does, however, have Slash on a conveyor belt, and lots of dolphins. I also think it's a better song than "November Rain" by a good hop.

Well, as far as I'm concerned Gary Oldman was Sid Vicious.
