Subterranean Homesick Blues (1965)

This is arguably the first ever music video this small clip of moving images just over 2 minuets long represents the dawning of a new era the age of the music video. It was originally the opening sequence to D. A. Pennebaker's film, Dont Look Back, a documentary on Bob Dylan's 1965 tour of England.the only thing that actually appears in the whole video is Bob Dylan standing in an alley by the savoy hotel holding up a set of cards which hold the lyrics to the song which he displays one by one in time with the song it was Bob's idea and although it is an extremely simple idea an some would say lacking i effort its the way that Bob so casually tosses the cards aside as if he's not even being filmed and the the very genies of its simplicity as there doesn't actually need to be anything else in the video i think that truly is the key to this music videos success is simplicity which complements Dylan's characteristic coolness and the music itself as this song is similar to many of Dylan's other songs and would not be as famous if not for this video. It only got to 66 in channel 4's 100 greatest music videos but to number 7 on prestigious music magazine Rolling Stone's lis of 100 greatest music videos.
