I have a great deal to do with #13 getting it's placement, however. ;)

It's not getting any new competition because MTV doesnt play videos.

I couldn't stop laughing/grimacing.

LOL @ "Pour Some Sugar On Me" at #4 on the fan's list... unless my memory is corrupt, it's pretty much just a typical performance/touring videologue. Who in their right mind would consider it one of the greatest videos of all time?

You know I just about agree with over 90% of the songs on this list, really. These videos actually resulted in high record sales for these singles and not to mention radio airplay as well. Half the songs in the 80s top 20 were radio #1 hits. But then the others were unforgettable classics without makign a single dent in the top 40. Nine Inch Nails "Closer" was a phenomenal video and stick to many's mind up to this day. I personally liked "Sledgehammer", I would rank this #1 on my video list.

I actually saw both of these around the time they first aired. As much as I love Def Leppard, "Pour Some Sugar On Me" is NOT the fourth greatest music video of all time. It's just a performance video. If there's any DL video that should be on there it should be "Rock Of Ages".
