Michael Jackson's video for his hit single "Thriller" has been voted the most influential in pop music history, according to the results of a poll released Monday.

The survey, commissioned by MySpace, interviewed more than 1,000 music fans. They made their choice from a long list of 20 videos selected by music and entertainment critics.

Thriller, credited with breaking down the boundaries between music and film making, garnered 15.2 percent of the votes, ahead of "Here It Goes Again," the 2006 internet hit featuring OK Go dancing on treadmills.
