Bronski Beat's Smalltown Boy, released in 1984 came 98th in channel 4s 100 greatest videos. The video shows the isolation of gay men in reallity. This video is significant because it shows the band challanging the publics perception of gay men and shows no instuments or lipsinking.
At 96 in the Channel 4 100 greatest music videos was the So Solid Crew with 21 Seconds which was released in 2001. The song involves 10 of the So Solid Crew members singing just 21 seconds each. As the group were mostly black youth from inner London the image of the band was mostly negative and were thought to be an aggressive group.
