Favourite Music Videos!

bugler

I refrained from a top 10 or top 5 or whatever. Just a simple question, what are the music videos you like most and why?!

The two that stand out in my head, and I suspect always will are:

RATM- Sleep now in the Fire. (Funny, ferocious. The "who wants to be filthy f**king rich" sketch is funny, and manages to be quite informative and worrying at the same time)

A Perfect Circle- Three Libras (Beautifully shot, striking imagery, just...brilliant, and a great song too. I think the video and music compliment each other excellently)

I'll actually mention Rammstein- Links 2,3,4 too. Saw it for the first time in a while there today, funny and clever. Goe Ants!

Dustaz

Didnt we already do this a few weeks ago?

George Michael Freedom 90. Simply for the editing. It redefined the genre

U.N.K.L.E. Rabbit in Your Headlights.

Most radiohead videos


and a special mention for S Club 7 - Natural. Rachel. in a waterfall. nuff said

col_nicholson

This post comes round every now and then and i always say November Rain - Guns n Roses because slash is cool.
The happy clog dancer has spoken.

No idea, I'm just a blow in

I think that the The Frank And Walters videos to "This is not a song " and "Afer All" are superb.

The Best Of cd is out pretty soon.

well i seen 4 ton mantis a few months ago on tv, must have been no disco or mtv2 or something, anyway theres two or three available for download on http://www.ninjatune.net (along with a lot of other great videos)

Fidelis

Nice one, Kali.

Both worthy vids alright, that dodgy Zane fellow off mtv had picked "Drop", so i saw it for the first time last night, good stuff

He screwed up bad though, putting in "Judith" instead of "Three Libras", there's an only one vid from each band rule in effect :-/ Anyone watching his countdown?

zAbbo

The Beastie Boys - Sabotage

70`s Starsky+Hutch / Mexican Porn Actors Stylee with Bonnet Jumping driving through cardboard boxes action

"Listen all O yawl, It`s a Sabotage"

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

cornelius - drop

great vid

Makaveli

2pac - Do For Love
For the cool claymation and animation.

Company Flow - End To End Burners
For the animated graffiti that travels through the video morphing into words and such. Pretty damn cool looking.

Great video ain't it? Didn't know he had a countdown going on, is it a Top 100? I used to have a *bit* of respect reserved for that guy up until he started doing radio + tv promo's for bands that were clearly not "wicked" "cool" or "great". Furthermore, he idolises the bands he interviews, as if he's a teenage fan: tut, tut.

deco

Zane also put in "Do The Evolution"By Pearl Jam....

That video was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cool;)

Kopf

I saw some of Zane's countdown, there was a great video by the roots in there. very funny.

but....

the greatest music video by far, of all time is.....


1979 by the smashing pumpkins. pure beauty.

33 is also a lovely video (by the pumpkins too), shot with a camera (not video camera). adds a cool effect.

chunkychewie

Anything from Tool. I'm not that crazy about their music, but their videos are brilliant! U know when you have a dream and you think to yourself, "how did i ever come up with that?" its just so weord. The cool thing about Tool videos is that you kind of get that same feeling.

deco

As much as I despise the band, Linkin Parks new video "Points Of Authority (Remix)" is absolutely spectacular...

Like something out of Final Fantasy....

Kopf

oh one i forgot, definatly requires a mention:

aphex twin - windowlicker.

(on another point, don't see what the big fuss was with the "Come To Daddy" video. totally overhyped in my opinion. great song though.)

D-Generate

Beastie Boys - Sabotage
Aphex Twin - Window Licker
Weezer - Buddy Holly
Radiohead - Just (any lip-readers out there)
and the majority of the Pumpkins videos are well done.

ykt0di9url7bc3

freak on a leash > KoRn
window licker > Aphex twin
do the evolution > Pearl Jam
atom bomb > fluke

Kali

massive attack videos must really get a mention too..

protection (again michael gondry directed, can't say enough about him)/karma coma/teardrop/unfinished sympathy all amazingly great and above all original videos which (apart from teardrop) have been copied and parodied time and time again.

their dvd is well worth the purchase (as is bjorks volumen).

for those interested the director of bjork's "all is full of love" (my favourite music video as already mentioned earlier), chris cunningham done the aphex twin "come to daddy" video and "windowlicker" videos as well.

Robbo

Chris Cunningham has directed loads more stuff aside from Aphex.

Squarepusher's "Come on My Selector", Portisheads "Only You", Madonnas "Froze" and "36 Degrees" for Placebo.

All top quality vids.

Anything by Roman Coppola is usually good as well, like Daft Punks "Revolution 909".

Makaveli

Was watching MTV earlier, they were doing flashback of 95.
Showed Protection and Bjork - It's Oh So Quiet.
I'm not a big Bjork fan, but I do like that song and video.

deco

Apparently in the "Just" video what the guy says is "you'll never know what I'm saying"...

Which, if true kind of suxs....

Fidelis

Well, if any lip-readers actually figured out what he was saying, then surely they would be lying at home infront of their tv in a comatose-like state.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Nirvana - Heart Shaped box and In Bloom

Just love them.

Aha - Take on me

Cracking video, still one of my favourites after all these years.

dougal

Thriller - Michael Jackson or
Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel

Dont you folks know anything !!!!
I have watched all the MTV best video shows and they always win!

Harmo

The prodigy - Smack my bitch up

Took the words right outta my mouth.

Also:

Pearl Jam - Do The Evolution

Add N To X - That saucy one with the robot...

Basement Jaxx - Where's Your Head At?

D-Generate

It's called "metal fingers in my body", the Add N to X video i mean.

The Gopher

Not the best ever video but the Prodigys new one Babys Got a Temper is a good one:) Basically it shows a group of naked girls feverishly milking cows(and one girl seems to be enjoying it too much if you know what i mean,ya sick whore!:eek: :eek: )and its promptly sold to a group of milk addicts who watse no time in drinking it(it must be a drugs metaphor or something).
Also,not the greatest ever video but i love that bit in Alien Ant Farms smooth criminal where your man gets on top of the car,lets out a huge roar and the car windows explode:cool: California Love is also a cool vid.Theres just too many to choose from to pick a best ever.

Can someone tell me what jackson video this is ripped off from? Ive been trying to remember and i just cant. Its the one where hes 'sexily' coming on to a girl as they dance down the street.

Kali

isn't that dirty diana?

koneko

The Foo Fights Evil Dead stylee video, can't for the life of me remember what it was called.

Also Dustaz was right on the money, Radiohead used to do great videos. Rabbit in your headlights, and Paranoid Android in particular.

The Gopher

I love the Offsprings Original Praknster video-there are some hilarious parts in it,including the kid feeding his dad sandwiches filled with dog****e and the bit where the guy bursts into the principals office with a camera after paying two girls to get it on with him for the photo:D
Also there are some fine girls in that vid too:)
Battlingcheese-I agree Tribute is a classic,great song as well as great video.Too bad this seems not to have got a minute of radio airplay-twould be a very popular one if many people heard it.
