do i hate videos cause i'm old? i mean seriously i don't get the point. I just like to listen to the music and don't get the point at all
of watching a video
some of them are interesting but the vast majority are just the band singing with a pretty girl or in different locales and why bother?

One thing I hate about videos is all of the extra "acting" in them. Stopping the song for some voice-over or something is lame!
that i havent seen but it sounds like it would be more interesting than a shot of the band
the last video i saw that i really thought highly of was thriller
Kavik
says
Well, I've seen good ones since then; but, the newer ones in the last few years with the "acting" not so good.

I actually prefer music without the videos, I get my own mental picture, and it usually gets ruined if I see the vid.
Video killed the radio star. That's why you hate them.

vegatative entertainment and advertising dollars.
but but.. ok this came up cause i read today that madonna will be selling her video on itunes. so clearly videos have passed beyond mere
commercials
I'll get hooked on a song I may not have payed attention to otherwise if the video rocks.

Julia Roberts totally ruined "Dreamgirl" by DMB for me. I can't hear the song without seeing her now, and I'm so jealous.

I'm with you, Vivianne!
my problem with a lot of music videos is that like books, I prefer the visuals in my head
agree. if there is a visual, and many times there's not, a video coudln't even come close to what i can imagine
I like videos that I like.
theres some amazing music videos out there, it can be, when done right an art form in itself, check Jamiroquai's Virtual Insanity
or The avalanches, When I met you
