85.

'My way' by Sid Vicious, from the Sex Pistols, was number 85 on the 100 greatest music videos list. This was created in 1979 and originally sung by Frank Sinatra. Sid Vicious decided to subvert this song and it was filmed in one hour in a theater in Paris.This is a iconic image of Sid showing controversy. He committed suicide within one year of filming this video due to a drug overdose while he was on bail for murdering his girlfriend.
Julien Temple was the director who persuaded him to perform this song, even though he didn't want to. He changed some of words adding personal things such as 'I killed a cat', something which Sid once done.
