"Michael Jackson's Thriller" was named the "greatest video" by MTV in 1999, and by VH1 and "Time" in 2001. In a poll of over one thousand users conducted by Myspace in 2010, it was voted the most influential music video. In 2009, it became the first music video to be selected for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. The Library described it as "the most famous music video of all time". National Film Preservation Board coordinator Steve Legett, said the video had been considered for induction for years, but was chosen mainly due to Jackson's death that year.
