Nerve.com, the "literate smut" site, has put together a list of the 50 sexiest music videos of all time. It's very thorough and generally right – our jam, "That's the Way Love Goes," is at 31 – but our 11-year-old self takes issue with the omission of "Hot for Teacher."

Go here to see if your favorite is listed, and then use the comments section to complain about the top pick (which is questionable at best).

@ Chelsea

We're both wrong–it's 30. Forgive me, I'm on West Coast time and am slowly unraveling.

Wow! I would never have guessed those top 10 cliche for sexiness videos. Nerve gets an F for originality.

No. 4 Keeblerkahn says:

Not a bad list, I don't agree with some of them. In my book, Chris Isaak's Wicked Game is hands down one of the sexiest videos ever made. That video is way hotter than Addicted to Love. Some don't even make any sense, No Sleep Till Brooklyn, Love Shack? Great songs but not sexiest videos of all time. This list is a good example of sex appeal being subjective.

Oh, D'angelo. What a way to start the day. *sigh*

Sadly I can't see the list (access denied at work), but fezzig, I agree with you, that D'angelo video is sex.

No. 7 em says:

I'm sorry, there's nothing *less* sexy than anything that has to do with "Love Shack". The last thing I want to associate with sex is that voice saying "LOVE SHACK BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Er…maybe that voice replaced by, I don't know, James McAvoy's might make me change my mind, though.

I like Lenny Kravitz's video for "Again". And I love that damn "Baby did a bad bad thing" video.

No. 8 Kate says:

Wicked Game. That should be the only video on the list.
When you go to karaoke night and you see a bunch of overweight nerdy-nerds singing Love Shack like they're the first ones to ever do it, you know that there is NOTHING sexy about that song. Not the lyrics, not the tempo, not the video. This list is crap.

No. 9 Bigshot says:

There's no doubt Wicked Game is up there. On most lists it's No. 1.
But Helena doesn't look that good anymore.
But Chris Isaak does.

No. 10 killorn says:

Dubbing "Addicted To Love" as the sexiest video is like dubbing "Hip to be Square" the coolest song.

Vintage Helena Sandy Buttcheeks > Tiny hunch-mullet with a metronome.

No. 11 cerebratious says:

The fact that Bjork is even on there shocks the wee wee out of me.

No. 12 halfsmoke says:

"wicked game" has to be number one! how many of us when we were little felt like we were doing something bad when that video came on?
i'd put "pagan poetry" as number two. i'm happy it made the list at all.

Yep, Wicked Game most definitely. I could never figure out who I wanted to bone more, Isaak or Helena…or both ;-)

No. 18 flori-duh says:

The first record I bought was really a record and was "Meet the Beatles"..I had a huge collection of 45s. We owned a Beta Max before we got a vcr. I had a tv in my room that I actually had to get up and turn a dial to change the channels…shit…back in the old days. Most of what I can reference I remember as an adult. That's scary!

No. 21 Ashley says:

Wicked Game should have been 1, but I think Fiona Apple should have been higher, too. I almost became a lesbian the first time I watched it.
