Johnny Cash - "Hurt"

Radiohead.. the one where that guy is lying on the ground and there are ppl all around him asking what's wrong. i forgot the name.. that was a really cool vid..

I'm not sure what the song's name is but I believe the group is Jurassic 5. Even if you don't like rap (i don't really) I highly suggest you see this video.

Tool - Sober

hell yeah prodigy's smack my bitch up, best one ever

afi's the leaving song part II is nice, simple premise but excecuted insanely well.

There are sooooooo many.

The first ones that came to my mind instantly without thinking:

Basement Jaxx: Where's your head at (Creepy & funny)
Madonna: Frozen (also Vogue, Human nature & many other good ones, her dancing style has been so influential it's kinda impossible to neglect)
Björk: Human behaviour (also All is full of love, which cd version is way crappier than video edit of that song)
Fatboy Slim: Weapon of Choice (Yeah, I feel like dancing around and hoppig to tables when I see it)
No Doubt: Ex-Girlfriend (Good story, pretty video, has sort of different aspect to give so you can see the lyrics a bit differently so it's not so easy to sink into your own life with em)
Garbage: Stupid girl (Works for me when I am in the right mental state)
Prodigy- Smack my bitch up (also: Firestarter)
Mirwais - Discoscience

I prefer Windowlicker of Aphex Twins videos. Sometimes I get mentally hooked on some videos with great dance numbers and wana see em again and again to see how it's done. :) I like Radiohead and Massive attack as movies, but can't say the music videos would have blown me away. Rammstein's videos are nice, but none of the videos is really spectacular. Like with Radiohead, the music is better than the videos.

I'm glad that someone mentioned Micheal Jackson's Thriller. That was an awesome production.

some close runners up:

Weapon of Choice : Fatboy Slim
Fuck her Gently: Tenacious D

Shake Your Blood : Probot

It's a badass song, and the video is filled with some hot suicidegirls.

Sabotage- Beastie Boys
Prison Sex -Tool
Smack My Bitch Up -Prodigy

Got my mind set on you- George Harrison

Tool - Parabol(a)
Prodigy - Smack my bitch up

Prodigy-smack my bitch up
Anything by BJORK

Forgive me if I already posted this, I went through all three pages to see if I did, didn't find it, but I swear I remember posting it! Anyways....
It has to be "Is this Love" Whitesnake,
I just love the provocative way Tawny Kitaen dances around the bed.

Oh yeah, while I'm on this provocative kick, I also liked Billy Idol's "Cradle of Love" video.

Currently my favourite video is "Everlong" by the Foo Fighters.

For all you music video fans, I highly recommend going out right now and buying "The Work Of Michel Gondry" on DVD. I love just about any video directed by him, and many of them have been mentioned in this thread already.

"The Work Of Spike Jonze" and "The Work Of Chris Cunningham" are also quite good, but if you are just going to by one of the three, get the Michel Gondry one. He did many of Bjork's videos (all the best ones, in my opinion), and he has very original ideas.

Just Like Heaven - The Cure
Enjoy The Silence - Depeche Mode
Sabotage - Beastie Boys
Hot For Teacher - Van Halen

Any Tool video, hands down.

Nine Inch Nails - Pinion, Happiness in Slavery, and Closer (there are more, but those 3 stick out in my head the most)

I can't help watching intently any time I see Whitesnake's In the Still of the Night....Tawney....MMmmmmmmm......

Drive by Incubus is pretty good.

Do The Evolution by Pearl Jam was a crazy video.

Also, one that I enjoyed but would by no means call great but merely good would be Awake by Godsmack.

Anyone that has big booty ho's in it.

Land of Confusion - Genesis


Haha...that one kicks ass. Check it out, even if you 'have' to mute it, at least watch it. :P

Ohhhhhhhh im loving this thread

but people, if you want to see a trippy as hell music video get this one.... no foolin' people:

The Pharcyde - Drop

get it now people.... NOW

oh... and:

Tool - Schism
J5 - Format

[edit]

OHHHH forgot

Meatloaf - I would do anything for love

You're kidding right? My friends joke around with me about this, but this is definitely one of the sickest, most scary music videos I have ever seen in my entire life. I remember watching it as a kid and I had nightmares for YEARS about this video. I don't see how anyone in their right mind could watch this willingly, much less more than one time. Phil Collins is a sick fuck and whoever made the video should be committed. Just had to get that off my chest. Those fucking puppets. How could anyone watch more than 1 second of this shit. Oh man I hate it. I hate it BAD.

Haha I had nightmares too, Redjake! I thought I was the only one.

Yep. Definitely my favorite from the Foo Fighters.

I like Judas Priest's Breaking The Law video. They point their guitars at the bank vault and it magically opens! How cool is that!

Tool - Sober

Prodigy - Firestarter

I'm going to go with From the Inside by Linkin Park. I don't think it's been released in the states yet, found it on kazaa.

that might be Depswa, not Linkin Park

Well it actually had the members of Linkin Park in it, so I'm pretty sure it was by Linkin Park.

haha I LOVE that video! always makes me laugh

but seriously people... you NEED to get

Pharcyde - Drop

its hip - hop, but mute it and listen to it along with a different song if you wish... its just so damn tripped out

that makes sense

Cochise by Audioslave. Loud shiny things and chris cornell. what more could you ask for

nine inch nails ~ broken

If I have to pick just one then:
Thriller with Billie Jean and Smooth Criminal battling for second place
for 90's videos:
Don't Speak by No Doubt

Really like November Rain by Guns N' Roses.

Aha - Take on me

Devo - Freedom of Choice (an award winner, btw ;) )

lots of good videos out there, but i'd have to say, my favorite would be Utada Hikaru's video for Hikari. It's the best expression of the incredible sexuality that normal people can possess that i've ever seen. everyone should watch it. :thumbsup:

I like changes by tupac, not even that I like the song, I just like the video. I also like Pearl Jam - Jeremy.
