Based on the latest surveys from their readers, the NME magazine presented their own version of the Videos of All Times Top 100.
The first place is taken by Johny Cash - "Hurt" track video. Only seeing this video once says more than any word. It's a legend and has an interesting story.
Originally this track was written by Nine Inch Nails and published in 1994 on their album "The Downward Spiral". Cash used the track for his 2002 album "American IV: The Man Comes Around". He changed only one piece of text - from "crown of shit" to "crown of thorns".
Video became a fitting audiovisual epitaph - Cash died in 7 months after this video release, and the house where it was filmed, was burned out in 2007. But even before that, it was claimed a video of all times on many sources, incl. MuchMoreMusic, Country Music Association, The Recording Academy, UpVenue and MySpace. The author of the track, Trent Reznor, said that he cried while watching his own piece of art covered by the Country Legend Master.
