27.

'Ashes to Ashes' by David Bowie released in 1980 made number 27 of the 100 greatest music videos. Technology seemed advanced at this time and he was very late for the video age. However, it is a significant video and stretched the idea of the music videos. He uses this in creative and abstract ways portraying arresting and powerful images. At one point he is dressed as a clown, at another dressed as a character he plays and is in a padded room. This could represent the three parts of his Id. People still do not understand what this video is about and it was before MTV. They used a huge video effects truck due to the lack of technology.
