10 Best Music Videos Of The 1980s

4. Madonna - Like A Prayer

Like several artists on this list, the Queen of Pop could have had any number of videos on this list, but it's her clip for the title track of her fourth studio album that has pipped the rest, arguably the best cut in her extensive arsenal of copper-bottomed classics.

The video, which saw the singer struggling with her faith in a church after witnessing the false arrest of a black man for the murder of a white woman, stoked controversy worldwide with its KKK-style burning crosses and allegedly blasphemous imagery. That only helped further its success, taking the track to the top of the charts on both sides of the Atlantic.
