When the spectacle of the video overtakes the song, I don't like them. Most of the Michael Jackson videos are great examples. Billie Jean, Thriller.... Over the top.
You brought back memories. LOL! The ones I disliked most on MTV were the ones with the long video intro that went on and on before the artist and/or band finally got around to doing the song. I hated that even when I liked the song. I think that's what killed the video star.
