Greatest Videos Of All Time

[Hebe Zuelke]

Inthe midst of a high school auditorium rally, Nirvana sets up shop to entertain an arena of students in their head-bobbing rock hit \"Smells Like Teen Spirit\", a song that put the Seattle grunge band on the map.

The country queen herself Dolly Parton wrote 9 to 5 for the comedy film with the same name in 1980 with a video that feels as 80s as one can get. Complete with big hair, big city corporate life and shuffling papers, \"9 to 5\" has a visual that continues to tell the story of standardized work.

Coated in purple hues, the video for Prince's \"When Doves Cry\" packs in sensuality, creative freedom and ultimate musical expression. Complete with an array of doves flying throughout what feels like a short film, the video's contradicting scenes tell the story of self reflection and lust.

Fronted by singer Sting, The Police has the magic ability to turn a rock song into a rock ballad. The impact of the black and white video can be felt in the imagery of live musicians playing their hearts out in this 80s classic.

Directed by French filmmaker Michel Gondry and choreographed by Blanca Li, Daft Punk's \"Around the World\" opened up a whole new world for dance music on a global scale. With one single set throughout the entire video, the scene takes viewers literally around the world through various characters and dance formations.

Crystal Water's \"Gypsy Woman\" stands the test of time as one of the best dance songs ever made. The video is no different with classic 90s beauty closeups of the gorgeous Waters juxtaposed with uniquely choreographed dancers on set.

Shot in the style of a romantic comedy movie in bright, optimistic colors and references to an idyllic dollhouse life, Taylor Swift's \"Lover\" feels unexpected and a departure from the artist's typical video formula

Directed by Joseph Khan, Swift's \"Bad Blood\" features a cast of A-list characters including Selena Gomez, Kendrick Lamar, Gigi Hadid, Ellie Goudling and more, in the style of action film, taking on a movie-like quality. Breaking, Vevo's 24-hour viewing record, \"Bad Blood\" received 20.1 million views in its first day of release.

Music videos created an art form that infiltrated genres, opening up new forms of musical expression and creating deeper connections between artists and fans. With a never-ending list of videos spanning dozens of genres and time periods, the following list includes the most visually unique, memorable and niche sounds.

A usually highly accessorized and garment-layered Erykah Badu slowly strips down from a trench coat, hoodie, t-shirt and pants to nothing but nude in the middle of Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas. As the camera follows Badu in a voyeuristic style before suddenly falling to the ground after being shot by a mysterious assassin, bystanders and passerbys try to make sense of what just happened.

Bay Area legend DJ Q-Bert brought the delicate art of scratching to life with Wave Twisters, an animated film synced to the sounds of his music. Wave Twisters was directed by Eric Henry and Syd Garon and is known as the first turntablism-based musical.

This timeless R&B classic collaboration between Mary J Blige and Method Man will go down in history as one of the best duets of all time. Both iconic and strong artists in their own right, this video brings to life a love story relatable to many.

As technology allowed music to reach global audiences, MTV, VH1, Vevo and YouTube became the destination for videos. Launching in 2005, well after many videos had appeared on television programs, YouTube made it possible for many videos to have a life after premiere and gave others a foundation to jump off from and build new audiences, changing the way artists and fans alike relate to music as an art form.

This is a list of video games that multiple video game journalists or magazines have considered to be among the best of all time. The games listed here are included on at least six separate "best/greatest of all time" lists from different publications (inclusive of all time periods, platforms, and genres), as chosen by their editorial staffs.

The song was the lead single from their greatest hits record Crossroads. The video came at a time that hundreds of thousands of dollars were consistently pumped into the production of music videos, as I uncovered while reading I Want My MTV: The Uncensored Story of the Music Video Revolution by Rob Tannenbaum. And this video had it all. Watch it below.

I agree that he is one of, if not the best, doom speedrunners ever. He has contributed many groundbreaking runs and has discovered tons about doom and doom 2. Even on the newer doom games, he just dominates them. It's even cooler considering he's only been speedrunning for only half a decade.

At least in the newer games ZeroMaster have some degree of competition with DraQu, Xiae and FrostyXen, it's make the scene of those games making new runs or style of gameplay. I'm hoping for new speedruns on the DLC with this kinda action.

Maybe it's just because I'm not a speedrunner, but in my eyes those 3 take the top 3 spots and the gap between their respective skill levels in not wide at all. Not at all surprised that they were mentioned just 2 minutes in!

Could Zero Master beat DevastatioN or JKist going 1 on 1 in the arena though? I've played against Zero Master in FFA servers and obviously he is a fantastic player, but could he have beaten the late DemonSphere, a man who was a literal god with the SSG and the BFG? (Seriously, DS had skill I consider unparalleled.. The worst I've ever lost in a match where I was actually trying was against DS.)

Who comes out on top in gladitorial combat never seems to be factored in these days! Not trying to say anything bad about Karl's video - it's amazing. I just remember an era where your skill in the ring was like, the majority of what was considered in the "is this person a Doom God?" question.

...Basically I'm saying this because I really want to see Zero Master in the ring more! There's nothing like going toe to toe with the Doom Gods, or even just watching two of them battle it out for our amusement.

Good rundown, and certainly something one can get behind (even though I would not bring vastly different games into the comparison and disregard the new releases - but they're still part of the franchise so fair enough if one want to widen the scope).

I'd still go with Looper, Hi Jango(Chewy) and Ocelot for overall skill display through the years, but Zero has several "first ever" both in accomplishment and engine understanding / exploit arenas that surpass past and present. So the argument to pick him is solid and valid.

The biggest flaw in the rundown would be completely disregarding the Deathmatch aspect, which Doomkid points to as well. Personally I always messured Doom skill as an equal split between SP and DM, and with that in mind, for me, the case still holds for at least mentioning Chewy and Ocelot if one was to attempt an overall crowning. For sheer Single player output ratio it becomes less of a competition, but to me that matters less than what was produced and what effort it took - and one cannot disregard the skillset that goes into the other "half" of the games venue.

As for my personal opinion on this; Most impressive trickster and inventive player award goes to Zero - while most effortless, impressive and raw skill display in single player would go to Looper. I do belive his current world record full game UV run of Doom 2 is the most impressive Doom recording we've seen so far. The effortless precision on display there is more than just grind.

For raw talent, I'd go with either him or Chewy, and I've seen a few "Doom Gods" come and go through the years. Old Sedlo deserve a nod for being on a top tire of movement skill combined with a very high level Deathmatch game for over 20 years, as well - despite not being active to a large extent anymore. In current or past ability he's right up there with 4shockblasts of today in my opinion, but there's more of an understanding for the game now and slicker tools.
