Songs That Let You Down
 

Ever watched a song that you thought was great accompanied with a spot on video,then heard the song without video & thought it was'nt so good after all?Or maybe great video that sold a crap song?Or great song,crap video.Best one (off the top of my head & not some arty video more of a tour documentary kind of thing)that impressed was Bowies 'The Jean Genie',maybe because The Spiders From Mars were in it.Also The Verves Bitter Sweet Symphony.Cheap(though maybe not cheerful).Glasvegas,great song,video probarbly cost a tenner to make.Kylie,as much as i love her,new song average....video cost a bomb.

Freddie just didn't look right dressed as a woman pushing an hoover round GC:D:rolleyes:

Never watch music channels or pay any attention to videos so it ain't a problem :)

maxwell - bitter sweet symphony is a masterpiece with or without the video!

True,especially as he was sporting a tash at the time:D

Will never argue with that Shaker,top song that can stand out without a video,but i thought the video to it was ace,Mad Richard walking down a street of all things.Maybe why they chose to make,basically a home video to go with it as the song is good enough to stand up on its own.Why spend several grand on a video when you know the song is that good you don't really need one.MTVgeneration i suppose:(

it was just so funny,,,i always get that image when i hear that song...

Re: Songs That Let You Down
 

if ya need a video to make a song ace, its a crap song,simple as.:rolleyes:

Re: Songs That Let You Down
 

Also, if the bass needs to be turned up full to drown out the lyrics, that's another sign.:)

Re: Songs That Let You Down

Re: Songs That Let You Down

Roger Taylor? I thought that was dead clever. Gutted.

Re: Songs That Let You Down
 

I got the joke, but still....oh dear oh dear....:tongueout

Proper gutted.

Just thought of one song where the video is brilliant should be viewed on mute: Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice.
Also any Girls Aloud/Sugababes video. For other reasons.
