73-Basement Jaxx-wheres your head at-2001

72-Robert Palmer-addicted to love-1986-  The music video, directed by legendary British photographer Terrence Donovan was one of the most iconic of the era. The video features Palmer performing with an abstract "band," being a group of models whose pale skin, heavy makeup, dark hair and seductive, rather robot-like expression follow the style of women in  Patrick Nagel paintings.



71-Bjork-all is full of love-1999-The video starts with a robotic Björk lying on a white platform in the centre of a sterile room being assembled or repaired by mechanical arms in what appears to be a clinic for robots. Even before finishing the assembly, the first Björk robot meets another Björk robot, who joins in the song with her. They start to kiss passionately as machines work on assembling electronics in their backs.





70-The Police- every breath you take-1983
