> According to a (albeit flimsy) BBC Radio1 article, Fatboy Slim's Video may be the best music video ever. Watch it here again. Usually news reporting requires sourced information, or at least makes a reference to where a reporter got their info. This is what a recent BBC Radio1 article states: "Fatboy Slim's 'Weapon of Choice' is the greatest video ever made, according to music industry experts. The unusual promo, which features Hollywood star Christopher Walken dancing and flying around a hotel, beat classics such as Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' to the top of the VH1 poll. Fatboy Slim's 'Praise You' video, which shows some bizarre dancing in a shopping mall, also made the Top 20. " 4/26/2002 - Radio1 What a stupid article! Source the information! Who are these industry experts?! Not that I disagree with the position that Weapon of Choice is one of the greatest pieces of video, but this kind of writing just is not appropriate for a news service. Hey, I think I'm somewhat of an expert, and I know Bjork's "The Hunter" video should be up there too. Here's the full list as 'reported' by the BBC: 1. Fatboy Slim - 'Weapon Of Choice' 2. Beastie Boys - 'Sabotage' 3. Jamiroquai - 'Virtual Insanity' 4. Blur - 'Coffee & TV' 5. Radiohead - 'Street Spirit' 6. Michael Jackson - 'Thriller' 7. Björk - 'It's Oh So Quiet' 8. Madonna - 'Vogue' 9. Robbie Williams - 'She's The One' 10. Peter Gabriel - 'Sledgehammer' 11. Chemical Brothers - 'Let Forever Be' 12. Michael and Janet Jackson - 'Scream' 13. Nirvana - 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' 14. Massive Attack - 'Teardrop' 15. REM - 'Everybody Hurts' 16. Fatboy Slim - 'Praise You' 17. Queen - 'Bohemian Rhapsody' 18. Madonna - 'Justify My Love' 19. Red Hot Chilli Peppers - 'Californication' 20. A-Ha - 'Take On Me' Haven't seen this vid yet? Click here.
