Thriller- Michael Jackson

The video for Michael Jackson's song "Thriller" is consistently on the top of any 'Best Video" list for a reason... it really is the best! Say what you want about Mr. Jackson now, but at the time of the video's release, he could do no wrong. At 14 minutes, it is one of the longest videos to be produced. At a cost of almost half a million dollars, it was the most expensive video ever made up to that point. It incorporated acting scenes along with the song. The special effects at that time were unparalleled. There are so many iconic features of the video, from Jackson's red and black jacket to the zombified dance moves of the creatures. In short, Thriller absolutely deserves to be at the top of the list for being the most groundbreaking.
