I feel like This is America should be top 50 at least, maybe even the highest ranked music video of the 2010s.

I could see it higher than where it's at, certainly. Top 50 or 60 seems about right to me.

How about "Paperback Writer" and "Rain" by The Beatles, primarily for influence. Granted, "Subterranean Homesick Blues" preceded them, and each reduces the influence of the other because they were released together. Still, if the list has 500 entries, I'd think they belong on it somewhere.
