Re: Listography-Your life in playlists
I knew Koala would post a couple that I had forgotten - namely Land Of Confusion and Digging In the Dirt. I would add I Can't Dance, Big Time, Take Me Home and Don't Lose My Number to those. And I couldn't leave out Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights.
All mine apart from the Eagles' related ones and I Love L.A. are by British artists (except I just thought of one more - Money Money Money by Abba).

And now you post some of the video that I have forgotten, namely,I Can't Dance, Big Time, Take Me Home and Don't Lose My Number.
Re: Listography-Your life in playlists
Ooh, I love the video for Take Me Home! I also think the video for Billy Don't Lose My Number is a hoot.

Re: Listography-Your life in playlists
I hadn't seen the video for I Wish It Would Rain Down (my second favourite Phil Collins song after In The Air Tonight). It features 'Bill' Collins becoming a film star and has the added bonus of Eric Clapton in a tux.

As for In The Air Tonight watch when he finally gets to the drums:

Take a Chance on Me - Erasure
Never Going Back Again - Matchbox Twenty (can't find this full-length, which sucks, because it is AWESOME, especially at the end when they merge it with "The Chain" - this Fleetwood Mac cover is great because Matchbox Twenty changes it to a minor key from a major key, revealing the darkness of the lyrics hidden by the original's bright tune. In truth, the lyrics are very bitter.)
ETA: If you go to this page and scroll down, you can hear the entire NGBA cover. Don't know how to direct link to it though!
