    One by Metallica is pretty thought provoking


    As far as I'm drunkenly aware, the song was based on the Dalton Trumbo film Johnny Got His Gun. And to avoid paying royalties on the video, Metallica bought the rights to the film.

    It's a brilliant song and it ties in perfectly with the video/film.

    I’ve always thought Pearl Jam’s “Do the Evolution” was really impressive... you certainly have to admit a lot of work went into it.

    Bjork had some that stood out. I remember when these came out and i think a lot of her songs take time to grow on you so the unusual videos kept you watching and listening.

    Good shout with Bjork. She was always good for a standout video. I know she had a few made by Michel Gondry whose videos never disappointed. Massive Attack Protection would be another good one from him actually.

    Well first time I watched it it just looks like crappy train footage,I didn't get it. Only when you look closer the various sounds correspond with or are represented by the various objects in the footage which is a neat idea.

    Ye that really is an iconic one. Such a difference in how he looks and moves compared to his last video and the last footage of him on film! I appreciate his last video though.

    Saw a documentary and it was very difficult for him physically to do because he was so sick and you can see that. They said even his clothes touching off his skin was painful and they had to shoot in black and white. It must have been a very emotional time for the band on set.

    Johnoy got his gun
    Edit Johnny / Metallica bought it cos the film was worth soo much less than the royalties they were paying

    Ditto!

    I pretty much like any "concept" music video. My personal faves are the ones Meat Loaf did for all the singles from Bat Out Of Hell II through Welcome to the Neighbourhood.
