    To me, I still consider footage around live performances of a song and surrounding activity to be a music video. Even if it's not the most creative way to make it, I don't mind as long as it's interesting to me. As far as I'm concerned, it takes just as much creativity to shoot that kind of video than it does to stick a dude on a conveyor belt and just film him singing. As I said before, that doesn't do anything for me at all. But, even if I thought all things were equal about the videos (which I don't), then my tiebreaker would be which song I like the best. And that's easy for me too - One Day at a Time is about a hundred times better song than The Radio Song, IMO. Since the round is tied with my vote, I hope I can convince others to join me in this round ...

    I cast my vote for The Radio Song.

    I vote for Ordinary Average Guy. The video creeps me out.

    You didn't have to work hard to convince me, Dreamer. I agree with you that live performance videos can be just as good, if not better, than 'story' videos. And ODAAT delivers not only the live performance, but also footage of Joe making the rounds to promote Analog Man. I really like this video. There is one sweet part where Marjorie gives Joe a kiss and smoothes his hair before he goes on stage. I admit it - it's difficult for me to watch the old Joe videos where he's being stupid. I much prefer my Joe older, sober, and with it. In the ODAAT video he looks like he is there. I could actually talk to this Joe.

    I had forgotten how bad some of these videos really are. It's refreshing to see Joe being real and funny in an appropriate way in ODAAT.

    So, I will gladly vote for The Radio Song.

    In My Car

    I am one of the people who doesn't like to be reminded of Joe's drunken days.

    I'm old. I like videos that are really videos. I like all the unique ideas that Joe (& others) had for his videos in the 80's & early 90's. I like directors and budgets and goofy musicians making me laugh.

    My vote is for One Day at A Time

    I don't love the One Day at a Time video, but it's interesting to see Joe going about his business as a Rock Star and most of the other videos are just bad. I'll hold off to see what I can vote for strategically. The Radio Song was near the bottom of my list, so I'm not sad to see it go.

    First of all, PM, I think your last comments were right on. You said exactly what I was trying to convey.

    Of course, I wasn't sad to see The Radio Song go first. To me, it is just silly. And speaking of silly, I will probably go along with Freypower and vote for In My Car this round, but I'll wait to see how the round plays out before voting. In My Car has a few funny moments, but, mostly, it's just lame, IMO.

    I actually think some of Joe's videos were well done back in the day and sorry, MC, but I gotta disagree with you about Life of Illusion. To me, that video is at the top of my list in terms of creativity with all of the imagery and 'illusions' in it.

    I just don't like early videos made in the 80s in general and showing Joe loosing his temper in particular. Being consistent with my earlier choice, I vote for Space Age Whiz Kids.
