i like

star guitar: chemical brothers

sledgehammer: peter gabriel

come into my world: kylie minogue

+ windowlicker

+ hurt: johnny cash

Answer 1

Peter Gabriel - sledgehammer. It had such cool animation. Luv it!

Answer 2

Runaway Train - Soul Asylum was very touching. It's so old and I still remember it so clearly. All those photographs of so many missing children and all the possible scenarios of what could have happened to them....it really made a strong statement without being preachy (if that's even a word).

Answer 3

Wild Boys - Duran Duran

The video for "The Wild Boys" was directed by Russell Mulcahy. The cost was staggering, as his design filled one entire end of the "007 Stage" at Pinewood Studios with a metal pyramid and a windmill over a deep enclosed pool, and called for a lifelike robotic face, dozens of elaborate costumes, prosthetics, and makeup effects, and then-cutting-edge computer graphics. The choreography of dance routines, intricate stunts and fire effects added to the cost. Mulcahy meant the video to be a teaser for his full-length Burroughs film, demonstrating his vision to the movie studios he was wooing, but that project was never made.

The video featured all of the band members imprisoned and in peril, wearing uncharacteristically rough and ragged outfits similar to the pieced-together clothing of the film The Road Warrior. John Taylor was strapped to the roof of a Mercedes-Benz car, Nick Rhodes was caged with a pile of computer equipment, and Andy Taylor was bound (guitar and all) to a ship's figurehead. Singer Simon Le Bon, strapped to the spinning windmill which dunked his head beneath the water with each revolution, briefly found himself in real difficulty when the windmill stopped with his head underwater. He was given a tube to breathe through and the issue was promptly fixed, but the British tabloids had a field day exaggerating Le Bon's "near death experience".

"The Wild Boys" was named best British Video at the 1985 Brit Awards.
