'Thriller' Voted Best Music Video Of All Time

Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' has been named the favourite music video of all time.

The video, first released in 1983, beat off competition from Eminem's 'Stan' and Madonna's 'Like a Prayer'.

Robbie Williams' 'Rock DJ' came in fourth, with Peter Gabriel's 'Sledgehammer' behind in fifth.

The video was the first big budget music video or short film, featuring all the latest special effects of the time.

The list was voted for by the British public.

Vikki Timmons, spokeswomen for digital music channel The Box, who were responsible for the countdown, said: "'Thriller' was an instant hit in 1983 when it was released and it was well ahead of its time.

"It's amazing to think that although there have been huge advances in technology and some amazing new music videos over the past few years, 'Thriller' still tops the list."

More than 7,000 votes were cast in The Box's search for the top 100 Greatest Music Videos of All Time.

So not that many, in all fairness...
