These came to my mind:
Meat Loaf - I'd Do Anything For Love But I Won't Do That
Madonna- Bad Girl,Like a Prayer
Kaoma - Lambada
The Christians - Words
Stromae - Papaoutai
R.E.M. - Losing My Religion
Mano Negra- Mala Vida
Ultravox- Wienna
Falco - Jeanny
Soundgarden-Black Hole Sun
Michael Jackson- Black or White,Who Is It
etc.etc
Just on the basis of the quality of the videos, not *necessarily* the songs, and in no particular order:
The Avalanches - Frontier Psychiatrist
Genesis - I Can't Dance
Fleetwood Mac - Everywhere
Godley & Creme - Englishman In New York
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Don't Come Around Here No More
There are plenty of others, of course, but these just come to mind instantly.
Dancing in the Street – David Bowie & Mick Jagger
Call On Me - Eric Prydz
Rock Me Tonite – Billy Squier
You're Beautiful – James Blunt
Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) – Journey
Country House – Blur
Nitro - Freight Train
Liberian Girl – Michael Jackson
Wired For Sound – Cliff Richard
Misery – Maroon 5
Jackie Wilson - Reet Petite
Fatboy Slim - Weapon Of Choice
Dune - Hand In Hand
Scooter - Rebel Yell
Snap - Rame
Weird Al Yankovic - White & Nerdy
Michael Jackson - Earth Song
Enya - Carribean Blue
OMD - Maid Of Orleans
Eminem - Real Slim Shady
But, realistically, a hell of a lot more.
I love most of Michael Jackson videos, even though I'm not a huge fan of his music. The 30+ minutes version of Ghosts is great, or the 13 minutes long version of Thriller.
Metallica's One is great too, I have to watch the movie once

If we're going there, I'd like to add Bowie's "Jazzin' For Blue Jean".
For the record, my top ten was copied and pasted from the Guardian readers poll of the top 10 worst music videos. Therefore my assumption can only be that nobody is actually interested in what's listed here.

Or perhaps people here just tend to make...assumptions...about your taste?
I have to admit I stopped reading your list after I saw it was topped by Dancing in the Street. I did look up a couple of other videos mentioned here that I didn't know yet, though. I may be the only one, but at least this thread was useful to me :)
I also like the video wich thomasquinn 32989 mentioned: Genesis - I Can't Dance
I would add some more that I didn't mention before.
Aerosmith - Livin' On The Edge
Extreme - Tragic Comic
Richard Marx-Hazard
Pet Shop Boys -Domino Dancing
Anyway,my list is too long and there is no chance that I will not miss something.:D
