Dogstar, while I like watching a music video every once in awhile, for the most part I definitely agree with you. I remember Steven Tyler of Aerosmith once said (I believe in a commercial for MTV, no less) that he was angry he had to paint a picture for his music to get across to people.  


Yes, I agree. I've downloaded a few Creed vids, too, and enjoy them. I think visual communication can be useful in the right context. I don't want anybody, even the author, painting a visual picture for me of his or her music. I want to interpret as I see it. That's the beauty of music and words: they evoke different interpretations for different people.

Aimee....I miss ESPN!
