MJ's music video Thriller remains the most popular video ever 30 years on



FORGET the cheesy script and horror movie stereotyping - Michael Jackson's Thriller remains the most popular clip of all time according to reaction to our Top 100 Music Videos.


The most Influential and biggest music video of all times continues to wow fans despite the YouTube juggernaut that is Psy's Gangnam Style.

Music fans just don't see the South Korean pop culture phenomenon standing the test of time as Thriller has done as it nears its 30th birthday in December.

Psy and his Gangnam Style moves won't last as long as Michael Jackson's Thriller

"Michael Jackson's Thriller is best by a long margin. In 2 years time we'll be saying 'Psy? Who was he again? You know...the Korean guy who did the funny little hoppy dance thing?' Yeah. Forgot about him," writes Redcliffe's Tea and Symphony.

Peter Gabriel's groundbreaking animated video for Sledgehammer is also polling strongly among fans.

Lady Gaga fans have argued that Bad Romance, which once held the title of the most viewed clip on YouTube, should have made the cut over Telephone.

Video enthusiasts have also said Redgum's I Was Only 19 is a worthy candidate for the Australian category of the Top 100.

"That video still puts a tingle down my spine," Norm of Southern Boy writes.
