#  I have a 1,000+ music video collection. "Free Your Mind" isn't in it, 
 	    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Gee Lance, I'm surprised you have any tape left for recording AMC :-)


#but "Hold On" and "Lies" are.

I have "Hold On" on tape and I have seen "Lies"(don't have it on tape
tho').

#  The message in FYM is on-target, and it appears on the surface to be 
#visually stunning. But they weren't into it, and I found the video to be 
#"cold" and MTV-stereotypical. Same for "Giving Him Something He Can Feel". 
#Sucked. 

Hmmm..I had mixed feelings when I saw the FYM video.  I enjoyed the
"look" of the video and I really wanted to like it, but felt that
something was missing but I just couldn't put my finger on it.

#  But, EnVogue is a great group, better than the Supremes, IMO.

#  You want great video? "Stay" by Shakespeare's Sister. I saw that one and 
#sat stunned for four minutes. "It Can't Be Forever" by Ephraim Lewis. Zow.
#[then he saw fit to follow it up with a true wussie effort, some totally 
# forgettable ballad]   

I haven't seen any of these.  Are they generally played on VH-1?  I'll
try to catch them.

#  Amy Grant blows me away every time at bat. "I Will Remember You". Good 
#Gunga Munga. The visuals, the song, her style; everything came together in 
#harmony. I think it's her best to-date. Amy Rules.

You'll get no flames from me on this one :-)

#  "When It's Love", "Right Now" - Van Halen   "N.W.O." - Ministry
#"Breakout" - Swingout Sister  "Open Your Heart" - Madonna
#"I Can't Wait" - Nu Shoes (Valerie Day Rules) 
#"Why Should I Cry" - Nona Hendryx   "Kiss" - Prince (Wendy Melvoin Rules)

Hey, I have all of the above except the ones by Van Halen and N.W.O.
You know Prince is becoming a little erratic.  When I've seen some of
his latest videos my first thought is "Oh no Prince, you don't want to
go there" :-)

   #...I could go on... :))

Thanks for all the info and suggestions.   Love those weekly music
video reviews, keep 'em coming.
