A.V. Club ranks the best 50 music videos, from the first video ever played on MTV (Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles, featuring composer Hans Zimmer!) to Thriller, Sabotage, Addicted to Love, and deserving #1 Sledgehammer. https://kottke.org/23/10/the-50-greatest-music-videos-of-all-time-ranked

First of all it looks like you forgot to add the link to the AV-Club list that your article is about. But don't add it for me, because I've seen it and while I love the classics as much as the next guy, this list is a drunken boomer's saturday night youtube session. Nothing to see here. https://www.avclub.com/50-greatest-music-videos-ranked-1850820669

Maybe I'm missing it, but I don't see a link to the actual AV Club article on there.

there are some great suggestions in the comments - you should make a kottke YT playlist of all of them!
