Joe Walsh Music Videos Survivor Game

Icast myvote for Space Age Whiz Kids!

Okay – I’m already seeing some dissenting opinions here regarding these videos, which always makes for some fun discussion. First, as far as Space Age Whiz Kids, I’m not crazy about the song either; however, this is actually one of Joe’s better videos, IMO. To me this is one of those videos that actually enhances the song and makes it more enjoyable to listen to. Unfortunately, it may be too late to save it, but I hate seeing this video go down so early. I think the switch between black and white and color to convey the past and present is effective. I also like the switching back and forth between the old pinball machines and modern (at the time) video games such Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. I particularly like the last scene where you see the new "Whiz Kids" video game in the futuristic arcade.


And Life of Illusion is one of my favorite songs and videos. Unlike Soda, I love how they expanded on the album cover’s theme to make the video. It seems very appropriate to the song for me. I think this was one of Joe’s more clever and artistic videos even if the backdrop isn’t a beautiful, sophisticated fine arts museum.

As usual for me, I am going to wait until later to cast my vote.

Looks like SAWK is going this round, so...

I will vote for I Can Play That Rock and Roll.

Okay - This is hard, but ...

I cast my vote for The Radio Song.

It's okay but not enough going on in the video to keep me entertained.

You know, after Dreamer commented on the appropriateness of filming a photo shoot for the song "Life of Illusion," I looked at it in a whole new light. What I thought was laziness - slapping some footage to music and calling it a video - could have been a deliberate choice. We're being shown what was behind the "illusion" created on the album cover.

So, with that new perspective, I'm no longer voting for it to go. Instead, I'll vote for the one whose central gimmick, moving people back and forth on an unseen conveyor belt, is the most boring. I guess we're supposed to oooh and aaah at how the camera tricks make them appear and disappear.... SNOOZE! That got old in about 20 seconds!

I cast my vote for The Radio Song.
