10 Famous Rock Music Videos Made On A Small Budget

10. Subterranean Homesick Blues - Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan can be credited with a lot of things; bringing poetic folk music to the mainstream, turning The Beatles onto drugs, proving that you actually don't need to have a 'traditional' singing voice to become a singer...

One thing he also helped to innovate was the entire concept of music videos.

When filming the documentary Don't Look Back, Dylan decided to produce a video clip set to his track Subterranean Homesick Blues. Stood in an alleyway next to the Savoy Hotel in London, Dylan flipped over several cue cards with selected lyrics written on them as they came up in the song.

The words were written by the man himself, but he also had help from musicians Donovan and Bob Neuwirth and poet Allen Ginsberg, who were there for some reason.

The clip, which was extremely easy and cheap to film, was one of the first uses of video to promote a single, setting in motion the music video craze that would take the world by storm over the next couple of decades.

So, next time you sit down to watch your favourite music video, give a little thanks to Bobby D.
