One of my favorite things about early MTV was how it brought out the idea of music and videos being used to tell a story. There was the great ABC Mantrap movie that was put together to support the Lexicon of Love album. I own this movie and still love watching it. Sure it's goofy and silly, but it's so much fun. I've always felt that without MTV you don't get Purple Rain, another favorite of mine.
Two of my favorite videos tell a two part story. They are "Sweetest Taboo" and "Is It a Crime" by Sade. I like the fact that they made the two videos to tell one story. Not sure what the story is except the guy she was with was a jerk, but still it's fun that the two videos are connected.
