Today's Sibling Rivalry Countdown!

We didn't quite get through the twenties today, but we will catch those last few songs next week. This week's songs offer a great mix of music videos to check out-- including a Grammy Winner (Where the Streets Have No Name, U2). Check them out, and don't forget to tune for our next installment of the countdown next Monday from 6-8 PM EST!

Tyler:
30. The Real Life, John Mellencamp, Lonesome Jubilee (1987)
This video is from Mellencamp's October 29, 2010 show in Bloomington, IN

29. Where the Streets Have No Name, U2, Joshua Tree (1987)
This video won the Grammy Award for Best Music Video in 1898 and is real footage of a U2 concert.

28. Thorn in My Pride, The Black Crowes, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion (1992)

27. The Load Out/Stay, Jackson Browne, Running on Empty (1977)
This video was recorded for a BBC Special in London in 1978.

26. Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding, Elton John, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1973)
A concert favorite, this version was recorded at Madison Square Garden in 2000.

25. The Valley Road, Bruce Hornsby, Scenes from the Southside (1988)

24. How Long, The Eagles, Long Road Out of Eden (2007)

23. Don't Come Around Here No More, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Southern Accents (1985)
One of the truly strangest music videos of all time, inspired by the Eurythmics' Dave Stewart's experience at a party hosted by Fleetwood Mac vocalist Stevie Nicks.

Ashlyn:
30. Smooth Criminal, Michael Jackson

29. Ocean Breathes Salty, Modest Mouse

28. Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own, U2

27. American Girl, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

26. I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues, Elton John

25. The Chain, Fleetwood Mac
I misspoke on the show today-- Fleetwood Mac's most iconic music video is of the song Tusk (1979). In the video, the band carried around a cardboard cutout of John McVie, who was not there for the recording with the USC Trojans Marching Band.

24. Rain on the Scarecrow, John Mellencamp
This video is also a classic from Mellencamp's iconic 1985 song.

23. You Can Call Me Al, Paul Simon
This humorous video features Simon and Chevy Chase.
