(There is no rule to this thread, but personally I’m not counting any Michael Jackson videos).
I nominate Janet Jackson’s “Miss You Much”. I usually just “listen” to music videos; only occasionally will I look up from whatever I’m doing to actually watch them. But “Miss You Much” ALWAYS stops me in my tracks. I’ll sit there like a cat, concentrating on the precision of the movements, wishing I could imitate just a fraction of it.
I’m dating myself and calling into question my musical tastes - but I always liked the dancing to “Cold Hearted”
WTF is that purple monstrosity to the left of the screen?! Who could watch dancing when curled up in fear beneath the desk?
OK GO, Here It Goes Again. Fucking genius.
I always liked Janet Jackson’s “Rhythm Nation 1814”. It had some impressive choreograhy.

MC Frontalot’s Wallflowers
I believe that is the repellent talentless lump known as Nicki Minaj. She doesn’t even have a proper name.
I like Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation, and Paula Abdul’s Opposites Attract.
Sort of a proto-music video–Daddy’s Song with Davy Jones and Toni Basil
“Weapon of Choice,” by Fatboy Slim, featuring Christopher Walken (a hoofer at heart!)
