I am not a music critic. I do movies obviously. Yet I miss the era growing up when the latest video was on TRL after school. MTV and VH1 actually played music before and after you had to be in class. Imagine a world without reality shows centered around idiots being more popular than positive entertainment. AHHHH…, so nice. I will not review any jam on this list as again, not a music critic. But I wanted to change things up by choosing my Top 15 Music Videos Ever. Obviously we all know the G.O.A.T. in this grouping will be at number one, but beyond that it is all up to personal preference. A great thing about music. These are the videos that still speak to me in a variety of ways. Laugh, dance, or cry, these jams hit you like a “Smooth Criminal”.
