Somewhat. There were some amazing music videos done long before Mtv, from the likes of The Beatles and the other great bands of the day that rarely included the band playing and were highly artistic.

As for the list, no one will ever agree with it completly, but save for the HST memorial issue, I ignore Rolling Stone on the whole. They are way too eager to praise everything that comes along in the interest of business.
