80 + 79

'Just' by Radiohead in 1995 was said to be the 80th greatest music video. This video is discussed in my Case Study 1 whos director is Jame Thraves.

Number 79 is New Order's 'True Faith' in 1987. This video is one of the best representatives of disjuncture, discussed by Andrew Goodwin. The meaning of the song is completely ignored. This band were signed to Factory Records. They were previously called 'Joy Division' until the lead singer killed himself. They then reformed as 'New Order'. This was filmed by a French Dance Choreographer who had no idea on how to make films or music videos, called Philippe DeCouffle.They gave him £10,000 to film this music video and he did. MTV said that they were not going to show the video unless the band is shown in it, so they added parts of when they performed at Glastonbury Live.
