Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer
Very playful experimental video that raised the expectations of music video making. Not all the special effect hold up against today’s digital cgi world - but don’t forget this was 1986 and while the techniques used in the video were not breakthroughs they were used to deliver something very fresh and entertaining.
Directed by Stephen R. Johnson who has directed 10 videos in all, another Peter Gabriel video 1192 “Steam” should make this list just for the laughing towel-clad girls that slide back and forth on a bench of tilting steam room.
