Most famous music videos and CD covers of all time.

According to the website NME.com the best music video of all time is 'Hurt' by Johnny Cash released in 2002. It says 'the montage shots of Cash served a poignant purpose at the time; after Johnny 's death seven months later it became even more powerful. A fitting audiovisual epitaph.'

 
A music video that got into the top 20 at #17 was Lady Gaga and Beyonce 's infamous music video for 'telephone' which was a weird and wonderful music video with Lady Gaga 's strange tape outfit and cigarette sunglasses. Released in 2010, and directed by Jonas Ã…kerlund.

A music video that got the #31 spot was a strange music video, the verve 's 'Bittersweet symphony' released in 1997, even though it just one long shot of Richard Ashcroft walking down a busy street, ignoring everything he sees, still in the top 40 for best music videos.
