Queen video named best ever

Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody has been voted the UK's best music video of all time in an O2 survey of 1051 adults, ahead of Thriller and Cry Me A River.

Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody' has been voted the UK's "best music video of all time" in a survey by O2, which is odd, I mean it was arguably a ground breaking video and all that, but it's hardly the best music video of all time. A more traditional winner in these kinds of polls - Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' - came second, followed by Justin Timberlake's 'Cry Me A River', which wasn't all that great in my opinion, unless I missed a crucial bit. The next two are genuinely great though - Aha's cartoontastic 'Take On Me' and OK Go's lo-fi running machine vid to 'A Million Ways'. Phone types O2 did the survey of 1051 adults as part of its sponsorship of the 'best video' category at the 2007 Q Music Awards.
