'Thriller' Voted Best Video Of All Time by Rolling Stone Readers

Rolling Stone recently asked its readers to vote for their favorite music videos of all time, and the results are in! According to the magazine, Michael Jackson's "Thriller" is #1 and is "so iconic and influential that it's not exactly a surprise that it won this poll by a landslide. So much more than a promo clip for a song, this mini-movie practically invented the notion of the music video as a major cultural event." It is also the first and only music video to be inducted by the Library of Congress into the National Film Registry, an elite collection of only a few hundred films. Check out "Thriller" at #1, along with the rest of the Top 10, at RollingStone.com.

Nobody in the music world touches MJ. I truly believe he was God sent. The King of Pop set an impossibly high standard in music that even he couldn't quite match in later years. He reached the pinnacle of entertainment and then went beyond that. Thriller will always be one of the greatest cultural phenomena for all time. God bless you Michael Jackson. You changed the world with your love and music.

Is there any doubt that Thriller would win? That short film was the talk of the music world in it hayday and it is still in a class by itself. I was in high school during the time that Thriller film premiered. Michael was on top of the world and no one could touch him. We were still loving the Thriller album and then he goes and releases the film and starts the craze all over again. You just had to be there and experience it for yourself. I have never seen nothing like it and I highly doubt that we will again.

I miss you Angel. Love you always and forever.

I have the memory to have been afraid very a long time because of this clip, which was worth me not to more want to look at the clips of MJ but in fact I awaited the following album with great impatience!!!

I love Thriller and like everyone (and Michael too), I'm happy and proud with the awards and accolades the entertainment industry and the public has given to Thriller for so many years. But for Michael, Smooth Criminal is his best short film. And I agree with him.
