I'm not talking about so-bad-it's-good, cheesy ridiculous videos like Separate Ways, Rock Me Tonight, Bewitched or those black metal videos from the '90s. I'm talking about music videos that simply suck so much it's painful to watch. I nominate Def Leppard's Let's Get Rocked. Those 90s computer graphics...yuck!

^^ Thou shalt not mock Jan Terri. She is tr00, grimm, und totally KVLT.
No, but seriously:
We had some fun with some of her other videos (yes, she made OTHER VIDEOS, horror of horrors) around here awhile back: http://www.heartofmetal.net/t16936-the-worst-music-video-ever?highlight=worst

Anyone ever see Tim and Eric: Awesome Job, Great Show! on Adult Swim? This seems like something they would shoot. But this woman seems absolutely sincere. Surreal, man.

You know that I have to do it! I've gone on about how silly I think this video is often enough on here!

First off I like Wham. Careless Whisper is beautiful and haunting.
Second, George Michael was great at what he did. A very original songwriter.
But this...this has got to be the worst thing ever.
The song is bad enough, the video is a portrait of hell. What a weird angle for a pop duo. It's like they were going for teenage girls' hearts everywhere by creating a song fit for second-grade circle time, and a video dripping with cloyingly sweet triteness. And a stupid title. Bravo/pity to whoever makes it through the whole thing.

Err, I'd say Jan Terri and Queensryche fall in the "so-bad-it's-good" category. Here I'm talking about videos that really, really suck.
Here's some more:

Years ago (somewhere around the "Mindcrime II" era, I think) a reporter friend of mine interviewed Geoff Tate for the newspaper we both worked for. He e-mailed me that morning and said "Got any questions you want me to ask him?" ... so I sez "Yeah, ask him when they're going to do a video that continues the "Queen of the Reich" story, the end of that video sez "TO BE CONTINUED" and I've been waiting twenty years to find out what happens next!"
... I didn't dream he'd actually ask Geoff that, but he threw it in at the tail end of the interview and he sez Tate laughed and said "Oh, Good Lord... no. I don't think we'll be doing that any time soon."

Okay folks, I think I've found it. Not only the worst music video ever, but quite possibly the worst MUSIC ever.
I give you ... "In The Name Of," by Father, Son and the Holy Ghost... from New York, circa 1984.
I'm not sure which is worse, the singer's voice or his dance moves.
Jan Terri and Killen, you are officially off the hook.

Such a great song, but such a cheesy video. And great story FF!

A really great song with an appalling video is Dio's Rainbow in the Dark but I can't find it to post.
Found it!!

Who's to blame for those weird videos (or any video,for that matter)? The artist ? The director ? Both ?

Actually, I kinda dig that song despite the cheesy singer. I may look into finding a copy to put on my '80s hard rock/metal mp3. I like cemeteries, so the video is A-OK with me.

Not even close to the worst music ever, even though the singer isn't really good. And the video's not really what I'm talking about here.

No kidding. When you start a topic that is 100% subjective then you lose your right to complain when people don't look at it exactly like you do.

OK, that Honeymoon Suite video is awful, especially when the guy is running. I've been listening to Honeymoon Suite's first album on Spotify lately because I like their song "Burning In Love." I haven't heard "Feel It Again" before. The album it's on is not on Spotify. The studio version is on a compilation called Power Ballads. Doesn't sound like a ballad to me.

Consider the times with Dire Straits, todays standards Id say its definitly silly but back then it was hi-tech.
