Terrible Music Videos
 
You know what I mean. There are some really terrible music videos. Which one do you hate the most? Do you know MVs that are just painful to watch? Maybe some that just seem wrong. Post your opinions here!

Jem - It's Amazing (aka "The official motion sickness video")
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XDxhDbtDak
Well, maybe making a clip by using 25, 632 still-photographs does sound pretty amazing at the beginning, but the result looks terribly shaky and causes headaches. Add a Jem tune to that and you got instant terror!

Bloc Party - Flux
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttcboE1GrNg
That just seems wrong! Totally wrong! The Beastie did that kind of Japanese B-Movie homage before and they did it better.

My Chemical Romance - Famous last Words
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZRKr0CrZkI
Haven't seen so much overacted gestures since Troll 2 (Oh my gooooooooooooooooooooooooood). Just turn off the sound and have yourself a good laugh.

Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of my Heart
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=840B27zYfOk
As cracked.com put it: Highly choreographed hell! Yeah it is THAT awful.

Lostprophets - Rooftops
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbm97i3sOM4
You always wanted to see a bunch of suicidal teens screaming the shit out of their lungs because mommy and daddy do not agree to increase their pocket money? No?-Me neither!

Now it's your turn dear SYG folks ;). And please note that this is just my opinion. If an artist or a track appeared on my hate-fueled list, no hard feelings please. It's not my intention to piss someone off.

Enjoy!

ahahha yes! U2 is terrible.

Decayed Rhapsody 03.04.2009 03:58 PM

Bono looks like a queer Elvis Costello in that.

My vote, although I shamelessly enjoy this song:

Whenever someone mentions bad music videos this one pops into my head.

The Cure - Charlotte Sometimes

But then there's always this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hARDXYz2io

I'm proud to admit that I like this half-baked pretentious farrago of Mike Mansfield-lensed gothery. Hmm, bad music videos, eh? Why not try this on for size: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcSwOwtyVHA

Nice call on the Cliff - truly deplorable.

But Jan Terri might just trump him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uOwVg2B79E

Now, I know you all don't like MCR for reasons that I don't really understand, but the reason they are awesome is not because they are emo, but because they are secretly the true inheritor's of the mighty Meatloaf crown of OTT splendour. What looks to you like over-acting is, in fact, over-acting, but rather than being a bit crap, it's actually amazing.

In other news, this is an equally preposterous (and therefore brilliant) video. I quite like this video, but I'd much rather something preposteous than ugly men playing guitars in a room. YAWNuncular.

I really like the Cure and Stones videos that were put up (although the actual 'Love is Strong' song is pretty hideous).

True

The only bad videos are boring ones, and I'm hardly gonna waste anyone's time posting a video I think is boring, so here's Vanilla's 'No Way no Way' instead.

Living the dream
