I've not ever thought of it like that. Music videos do indeed employ a visual style, for lack of any access to "talky" gimmicks. This is refreshing. Now...to find the ones that do it best.

I did a blog post not too long ago about a recent example of this: <a href="http://lancestrate.blogspot.com/2010/05/yesterdays-day-after-tomorrow-doris.html" rel="nofollow">http://lancestrate.blogspot.com/2010/05/yesterdays-day-after-tomorrow-doris.html</a>.
