Phil’s Faves: Videos, October 16, 2011

This will be a personal weekly Top Ten list of what I consider to be the best videos currently available on TV. I don’t, as a rule, go searching for old music videos, so that’s why it will focus mostly on current or recent videos.

For this category, I am also going to include any live performances on talk or variety shows that I see during the week.

1) “Sparks Fly”—Billboard’s Woman of the Year with another winner!
2) “Stupid Day Job”—What can I say about this video that I haven’t already said? It’s catchy and funny! What do ya want for free? Go to wallypleasant.com.
3) “Storm Warning”—Still hasn’t made the CMT Top 20 List? The song’s good. He’s good looking. What’s the problem? Wasted your vote on “Dirt Road Anthem?” Hmmm……….?
4) “Brighter Than the Sun”—It seems to be picking up steam again on the VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown! Shooting for the top now…………
5) “Gonna Get Over You”—I don’t want to “get over” this video. I hope it gets voted onto a list….
6) “All Your Life”—Quirkier video than you would expect from this group………..
7) “In the Flesh”—A great performance under any circumstances on a song from “The Wall!”
🙂  “Breathe”—An almost perfect reading of a “Dark Side of the Moon” classic—harmonies included!
9) “Wish You Were Here”—Dierks turned this Pink Floyd title track into a bluegrass classic just like he did with Del McCoury on U2’s“Pride in the Name of Love” on his “Up on the Ridge” CD. If you were hearing if for the first time, you would think that Pink Floyd were from some Appalachian holler! Another great interpretation from Dierks!
10) “Red Solo Cup”—The hilarious new video from Toby Keith! I like it a lot!
