This list of awesome music videos would of course not be completed without works from one of the pioneers of music vidoes, the King of Pop: Mr. Michael Jackson. With his sudden death that shocked the whole music industry (the whole world in fact), I would like to dedicate this entry to his groundbreaking and state-of-the-art videos that truly changed the world of music videos
9. Billie Jean (1982)
Directed by Steve Barron
10. Thriller (1982)
Directed by: John Landis
11. Bad Part 1 (1987)
Directed by: Martin Scorsese
12. Smooth Criminal (1987)
Directed by: Colin Chavers
13. Remember the Time (1991)
Directed by: John Singleton
An innovator himself, Michael Jackson treated music videos as an art form by transforming it into short films. He made use of complex story lines, ground breaking visual elements and effects, famous cameos, and choreography which resulted into a huge following as many people are trying to replicate it as seen in movies and in the famous youtube video of Filipino prisoners in Cebu dancing to 'Thriller'. His music videos is what also helped made MTV famous back when it was starting in the early 80s. His videos have serve as an inspiration and influenced many artists and directors. This is why some would call him as the 'Master of Music Videos' for no one can ever produce and create videos like the way he did.
Rest in Peace, Michael Jackson
