Favorite Music Videos and why?
 
"I Feel Love" by the Blue Man Group featuring Venus Hum

Just such a beautiful rendition of that song. Check it out if you want, I watch this video seriously every day, it just makes me smile.

White Stripes - Fell in Love with a Girl
An original concept, to be sure, the fully-lego music video is visually stunning and incredibly creative.

Michael Jackson - Thriller
Probably the most cinimatic of all music videos and the quintessential music video of the 80s, Thriller is everything that's right about music videos. Also, Vincent Price is incredible.

Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight
Mesmerizing music with an incredible facsimile to the old 20s and 30s silver screen science fiction fantasy movies, paying homage to classic From the Earth to the Moon.

I'll skip Take On Me because I don't like the song....

Röyksopp - Remind Me
Really quirky video using the visuals you might get from directions and such. Cool stuff.

Ok Go sucks.

SecretMethod70 04-08-2007 09:17 PM

I'll start off with a little Mark Romanek genius:

Nine Inch Nails - Closer
I really like how this video captures the feel of old film while having modern technological inventions throughout, and manages to fit the song extremely well.



Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug
Can't beat Trent Reznor playing Edgar Allen Poe in a rather surrealistic environment :)



Next, a long, but intriguing video:

Tool - Schism
Awesomely creepy.



Finally, I was going to post a Björk video or two, but then I realized pretty much all of her videos are awesome. So, I'm posting just one, but encourage people to check out others on youtube :)

Björk - Human Behavior
Fun. Crazy. Appropriate.



Almost forgot...

The Avalanches - Frontier Psychiatrist
Seriously...this one is just weird.


Daniel_ 04-09-2007 02:53 AM

Men Without Hats - Safety Dance



It's just barkig mad.

Glory's Sun 04-09-2007 07:21 AM

Bjork--Pagan Poetry


Best she's ever done

Tool--Prison Sex



love the little dude

Marilyn Manson--Coma White..so good for some many personal reasons.


The greatest of all time?? Pink Floyd--The Wall


mixedmedia 04-09-2007 07:33 AM

I agree on the Closer video. It is an awesome and beautiful piece.

I like Mark Romanek videos more than most of the songs they are made for, lol.

such as...

Madonna's Bedtime Story.

Scream by Michael & Janet Jackson.

Janet Jackson's Got Til It's Gone.


You can tell that I haven't been a regular viewer of music videos in many, many years, lol.

Radiohead's Paranoid Android is a classic.

I also have always like Madonna's video for Vogue...it's very pretty and I love the throwback to old Hollywood stuff.

oh! and Aphex Twin's Come to Daddy video freaks me the hell out, but I like it. :)

Glory's Sun 04-09-2007 07:50 AM

forgot a couple:

Deftones--Digital Bath



Rage Against The Machine--Killing In The Name Of (live)

Cynthetiq 04-09-2007 09:47 AM

I love the white stripes vid...but it pales in comparison to the stop motion originator and innovator Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer.


Leto 04-09-2007 09:53 AM

Seldgehammer: Hated the song. video was cool tho.

Johnny Cash - Hurt (NiN cover)

Beautiful song, and also I believe it was Mr. Cash's final video.

Cochise - Audioslave . its just kick ass

Mephex 04-10-2007 08:56 PM

Coolest thread, ever. -edit Excuse me, let me thank you all for sharing, the videos kept me entertained for quite some time. Love it. Maybe some love for youtube is in order, but the framework never made people smile, it's always the ones that use it.

MexicanOnABike 04-10-2007 09:29 PM

pearl jam - Evolution : awesome animated video. and the song is great.


Pink Floyd - The wall : entire movie is the best music video! and i love the style. it's 2hrs long. i wont be posting it!

The Cardigans - My Favorite Game : this video was just intense the 1st time i watched it and it stayed with me forever since. plus the girl is hot!


The Offsprings - The kids aren't allright : nice morphing and style and the song rocks!

Every tool video and the two nin vids linked are awesome.

Two favorites:

Slipknot invited a bunch of fans to a house to trash it while playing Duality:

Glory's Sun 04-11-2007 06:23 AM

Nice ones spec!

The one and only version of Hurt in my book (yes Cash's version sucked)



Skinny Puppy--Worlock



Sepultura--Refuse/Resist



Fear Factory --Ressurection (goddamn they kick so much ass)



Twisted Method--Reach (live) These guys are pretty good for straightedge kids



Mudvayne--Death Blooms (back when they were actually good)


Cynthetiq 04-11-2007 06:28 AM

I dunno.. this video by SadKermit of Hurt is pretty compelling...



imma watch the NIN version again... been a long time...

Jetée 04-11-2007 09:47 PM

I just find art direction and the perfect integration of a song's meaning conveyed by a music video is lost on some people. Here are some examples of what made me convert: (By the way, I agree with about 92% of the choices you guys before me made choosing those as great music vids. kudos!)

Daft Punk: Around the World

{Recommendation: also check out Da Funk}

Blur: Coffee & TV

{Recommendation: also check out Beetlebum}

Enjoy.

Smashing Pumpkins - Thirty-Three, I think it's an awesome song and video.

MexicanOnABike 04-12-2007 09:40 AM

jetsteam: damn! i forgot that one. Around the world was the 1st great video i saw that made me want to watch it over and over again!

gotta add a favourite from back in the days:
KMC featuring Dhany - I feel so fine : obviously picked for the girls and i liked the song too. so simple yet perfect.

And you aren't even watching the good version of that video. Go to http://www.blueman.com/multimedia/video/ , then navigate to the I Feel Love video. (If you can figure out how to download it, let me know!)

My addition: Rockit by Herbie Hancock. Love those robots.

This is one of the best live performances of pop music I've ever seen. KT Tunstall puts on an amazing one-woman-band performance with her hit, "Black Horse and a Cherry Tree." There's something about her performance that is simply mesmerizing.

I can't list my favorite music videos without NOFX. When I was a teenager growing up in a conservative Christian household, NOFX and other pop punk bands allowed me to escape the neoconservatism and imagine myself in a completely different world. Fat Mike may be too political nowadays, but he rocked when he was younger. I present to you NOFX -- Stickin in my Eye

Nirvana "You know you're right"
It shows Nirvana live and that's why it's the best video at the moment. (If you like it you should also watch Nirvana "Lithium")

More of the Greatest Music Videos
 
Cibo Matto - Sugar Water
http://www.mtv.com/videos/cibo-matto...ar-water.jhtml

Quote:

Director Michel Gondry evoked the concept of a "visual palindrome" via his split screen narrative for Cibo Matto's "Sugar Water" clip.
Within their respective frames, Miho Hatori and Yuka Honda rise out of bed and take sugar water showers.
The women exchange a threatening note between frames before a black cat enters the picture and prophesies a vehicular accident.
Perhaps more so than any other music video ever made, "Sugar Water" demands multiple sittings in order to tease out its many ambiguities.
The palindrome structure is merely a point of departure here.
In four short minutes, Gondry both contemplates a cosmic relationship between cause and effect and the existential connection between Hatori and Honda themselves.
The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony

Quote:

Life sucks, especially when the government milks you dry and doesn't so much as give you a wider sidewalk for your troubles. Walter Stern's video for The Verve's "Bitter Sweet Symphony" begins on a fascinating note. Disenchanted that life has reduced him to an emotional zombie, ex-Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft chooses to move only to the beat of his own drum. One may ask, "Who's to say that they're not bumping into him?" Which is precisely the point of the video. Ashcroft's subjective reality declares that the world should move for him and not the other way around. This is his passive response. Both song and video pessimistically acknowledge humanity's smallness and oppression by big business and government. But it's not until the song's hopeful bridge, precisely when Ashcroft stares at his reflection on a car window, that he's forced to acknowledge his responsibility to the world around him and his disenchantment turns into something entirely more hopeful.

Sorry not sure how to post videos, anyway the 2 that come to mind are Johnny Cash - Hurt. I'm not a Cash fan but that video just got to me, especially knowing he died soon afterwards. Also Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy. A very good video that came out when I was in my early teens, it made think about how gay people were treated at the time, and made me more sympathetic towards people.

Baraka_Guru 07-22-2007 04:55 PM

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.

Nirvana - "Heart-Shaped Box"

Mr. Oizo - Flat Beat


Basement Jaxx - Where your head at


Weezer - Buddy Holly (ya know that stole that video idea from nirvana's in bloom.. jk)


Electric Six - Danger! High Voltage



Dave Chappelle - Piss on you..

These probably wouldn't be my absolute favorites but I don't wanna link something that's already be linked.. and I just think these vids are cool :)

Jetée 10-26-2007 02:06 PM

Great additions by all. I just wish this thread didn't need to be revived every so often because of a lack of participation.


Oh, the surreality and trip-factor of this video plays right along with the lyrics. A definite favorite.

The Pharcyde - Otha Fish

Jack The Lad 11-01-2007 04:42 PM

Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush. I admire the fact that it's a such a simple, but memorable, video.

My favorites have already been mentioned. I saw the title and instantly thought of "One", "Thriller" and "Weapon of Choice." Pretty easy favorites.

Oh, this is easy
 
This video has two songs, i like the second one the best (too animalistic).
The whole video is only like 3 and a half mins.

The Voms- Im in love with your mom/Too Animalistic

:thumbsup:

If you liked "Closer" by NiN you should check out the still photography of Joel-Peter Witkin: Link to JPW info. Almost every image in the video was borrowed from JPW's book "Gods of Earth and Heaven."

If you like the Tool stop-motion animation videos (and Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" video) then you should check out The Brothers Quay: Link to Brothers Quay info.

cibo matto: sugar water



i really like michel gondry.
i like this gondry video best of all.
there's so much going on visually in it and the concept is smart and th emesh of visuals and audio make a sum greater than the parts.
what more can you ask from one of these?

cornelius: smoke



it's simple and effective and a great song.

an old fave, mostly for the lyrics.
xtc: complicated game



a couple hiphop treats.

this i've posted a few times before, but i still think it is, in the parlance of our times, the shit..
ultamagnetic mcs: poppa large



freestyle fellowship: innercity boundaries



i just like this for the way the jazz/hiphop thing works
both sonically and visually.

"Here It Goes Again", OK Go

Ok, I know this video is liked by half of the world, but that doesn't mean it's undeserving of recognition here too! It's a lot of fun, and I enjoy how low-key the filming is (apparently a home video?). You've gotta appreciate the amount of work and practice that had to go into the choreography. Supposedly, they can do the full dance live!


"Let Me Know", Róisin Murphy

Nothing outrageously unique in this video, but I love the mixture of her beauty, amusing dancing, and clothing. She's very talented, and I am just enthralled. I can't stop watching her, or this video!


"Eh Hee", Dave Matthews

This video is thought provoking, bizarre, and very unique. It's filmed in the style of playing the music slowly during recording, then speeding up the film later, creating the creepy and strange effect of quick, jerky movements. The dancers in the background are very creepy, and Dave is definitely showing off his acting skills with this song and video. There's a lot open to interpretation, which I like, and allows for me to watch the video over and over again, noticing something new each time.


"Learn to Fly", Foo Fighters

A video with a story is always a plus as you're entertained throughout. Having a wonderful song, both by lyrics and sound, in the background is a huge plus - especially one by the Foo Fighters. The video is a lot of fun, with the band playing many characters in their "short film". And hey, even Jack Black has a small featured part. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

"Oh Mandy" by The Spinto Band. It's artsy, the song is amusing, and they're great performers.

Hoppipolla, by Sigur Rós

Old people having fun. Id say more but itd kill part of the awesomeness of the whole thing. Its hilarious, touching, and great. I dont understand the song so much (theyre Icelandic), but its superb nonetheless.

I lit their concert here last year. They are indeed a fun live show

I would have to say that "the bleeding" by Five Finger Death Punch has to be one of my favorities. It's a perfect metal video, and on top of that that, the chick in it is SMOKIN'!

Sun Tzu 02-14-2008 09:15 AM

As already stated tw ovideos from the wall are amoung my favorites- great animation.






thespian86 02-14-2008 05:18 PM

Don't know how to put up the things so if anyone wants to add them to my post go for it friends.

My favorite would either be C'mon C'mon by The Von Bondies, The Other Man by Sloan, or Reptilia by The Strokes. Not so much because they are super cool visually, even though I think The first and the last are, they capture the song better then most videos I have seen. I love the video for Ron Sexsmith's Strawberry Blonde too; very good. He told me the story behind it and since then I've loved it.
