Madonna
Like A Prayer

Released: 1989

Director: Mary Lambert

It’s a blasphemous cross between Pinocchio and Sister Act. It caused a massive uproar of controversy upon its release, but we can’t knock Madonna – she was at her peak back then.

Best bit: Oh wait, it was all a play?

Madonna
Borderline

Released: 1984

Director: Mary Lambert

She would go on to make much more complex music videos, but this one worked because of the way it captured the spirit of early, downtown Madge. Post-feminist kudos too for spurning her boyfriend for the rich photographer dude.

Best bit: That crazy, slow-mo street dancing at the very beginning.
