From Sears’ customer records, courtesy of Scott:
Last night ended up being rather slow. Sat around for a long while, dabbled in a little homework, mostly vegging. Mary and I finally trekked out to Eastview about 8 or so, and we’re one of the last dogs to be shot at the mall. We came back, and watched the majority of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure with Dan and Scott, then Nick from work showed up because he was just as bored as us. When that was over, VH1 had a countdown of the top 80 80’s videos that we caught for a half hour till SNL with the Rock was on. SNL is getting funny again! The Rock always does a good job when he’s on. We flipped back to the VH1 countdown, just in time to see Sledgehammer (Peter Gabriel) at number 2, and oddly enough, MJ’s Billie Jean as Number 1. Number 1 video of the 80’s? Thriller was like 8, and Def Leppard’s “Photograph” was 6, which made no sense to us. Whatever. Slept till 11, and now there’s an APB out for our TV remote. fun wow. Looks like HW day for me today. Yippie.

dude, no way is billie jean the number 1 video of the 80’s. in terms of the video itself, sledgehammer shoulda had it all the way…. top 10? definately, but not number 1.

dude no way. and this is SO not even because i’m an MJ fan. there’s a lot more behind Billie Jean than just the face value of it…it’s what it did for videos, it’s what it did for black artists, it’s the fact that it’s artistically brilliant. sledgehammer is playing with clay, and really has no artistic value besides that. billie jean is far more artistically beautiful than any of MJ’s other videos, and more than pratically everyone else from the 80s with the exception of Madonna (but the videos i consdider to be her best might be from the early 90s).

oh, and i don’t even really LIKE the billie jean video. lol

we agree to disagree, because while you make valid points, I just don’t see it. but then again, I’m not artsy, and don’t appreciate most of the things most other people do. so blah… didnt think this was gonna cause such a shitstorm! 🙂

no phil collins?

No offense to Michael Jackson or anything, but She Blinded Me With Science should seriously have been in the top 5-I mean, that not only has artistic merit, but it also invented a catchphrase in the process…..so think about that one, and in the meantime…
SCIENCE!!!!!!!!
(that ones for you Mary lol)

Oh, and I didn’t catch the show, but if A Ha’s Take On Me Wasn’t up there too, it definitely should have been….it was groundbreaking
