I picked these mainly because they culminate my high-school experience. These videos are appealing for their variances in energy, moving from aggressive to restrained... a common enough style at the time, but effective nonetheless.

In both of these videos you get a good harmony between the visuals and the music. Excellently produced in both cases.

I give you this one, because these guys rock, and they show that even with a low budget you can be incredibly cool:
