So what's your favourite Music Video?
 

Title says it all. Just mention one. Probably one other honourable mention.

I can't narrow down my alltime favorite vid, but currently, I still really like Fell In Love With A Girl from The White Stripes, since it's all done in Legoes.

That jammy-jam Jamiroquai one where he's sliding on the floor and all the furniture's moving around, wasn't that Virtual Insanity? That effect was really neat.

Beastie Boys - Sabotage

Just a Gigalo - David Lee Roth.

Anything by The White Stripes

Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up

(For obvious reasons) :P

Come to daddy - Aphex Twin.

Just blew me away.
Before or since i have never seen anything as disturbing/angsty/mean/unique.
Check out the lense flares @ the start.
The way the picture quality reacts to the sounds - seems to be effected by the power of the music in places.
The whole drum/stick/railing thing.
Chris cunningham didnt get enough recognition for his work on that.

One of the greatest videos ever.

yep, yet another one of the greatest videos ever. you guys have great taste.

Even though I am not a fan, Pearl Jam's video for "Do the Evolution" is an amazing peice of work.

As already stated, Do The Evolution by Pearl Jam. It's an animated video done by Todd Mcfarlane, amazing work. A few other of my favorites...

Foo Fighters - Big Me
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside

Cant Stop- Red Hot Chili Peppers

Its great. Check out the guy who inspired the videos art work, its really out there, but its cool. Ewerin Wurm.

anything by massive attack

Go here & D - Load the Move your feet video. Nintendo style graphics - Its really good.

Tim Deluxe - it just wont do :P

Black hole sun - Soundgarden, good one to watch stoned.

cant think of my favorite now, but a good one is Sum41- Hell Song just cuz its so damn funny.

Smack My Bitch Up by Prodigy
One by Metallica
Star Guitar by The Chemical Brothers
Fell In Love With A Girl by The White Stripes

Busta Rhymes - Dangerous ( spinoff of the movie Leathal Weapon )

Go With The Flow - Queens Of The Stone Age
Freak On A Leash - Korn

Do The Evolution and Sabotage are both incredible!

Then upon scanning these I agree with some others.
Korn - Freak on a Leash
Beastie Boys - Sabotage

Atari Teenage Riot - Revolution Action

Runner Up: Prodigy- Smack my bitch up

Hey thanks for the link!

Very, very simple:
Rabbit In Your Headlights by UNKLE, DJ Shadow and some guy from Radiohead

Sing by Travis. I like the food fight at the end :D

*Today - Smashing Pumpkins

*Parabol/Parabola - Tool

*Ava Adore - The Smashing Pumpkins

*1979 - The Smashing Pumpkins

*...practically anything from The Smashing Pumpkins :D

Definately Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy by Chris Cunningham. I think that the greatness of this video has been over-shadowed by Windowlicker. Don't get me wrong, windowlicker is a fine piece of work, but I think that Come to Daddy is just plain incredible.

-C.S. Flim

*edit* I also love just by radiohead. I laughed my ass off the first time I saw that...not everyone's reaction is that however!

Dave Matthews Band - Crash

THE most beautiful music video of all time.

So far three girls have cried when i showed it to them...

You guys should check out the video for Blue Man Group and Dave Matthews's song called "Sing Along". It's pretty cool, and you can find it on KaZaA. I've become a Blue Man Group fan basically over the weekend, and am looking forward to their new CD that's coming out tomorrow.

Tool- prison sex

Molotov - Rastamandita ;)

its a mexican group, I dont think many of you know know about them, but the uncensored version of this video will leave you :eek:

Its my favourite because of the girls in the video. But I also like almost every Red Hot Chilli Pepper video. Their videos rock!!

I still love Weapon of Choice by Fatboy Slim
Gotta love Christopher Walken flying and dancing...I still laugh hysterically when I see that one.

I'd also have to go with Go With The Flow by Queens of the Stone Age.


The sky, the sperm, the girl squrting oil on her chest!

I had to go watch the Go With The Flow video again to find this sperm that everyone talks about, hehe.

any video by TOOL...they freak me out ...in a good way :D

Closer by Nine Inch Nails. If only it could've been a little bit disturbing...

Lost Cause - Beck Pure eye candy

Of course White Stripes videos are cool as well.

Another vote for Fell In Love With A Girl by the White Stripes.

I notice another little detail in it each time I watch it.

Me too. And not just 'cause of the awesome music :)


A bizarre clip i saw recently was Blur's Good Song

Also, Windowlicker by Aphex Twin. Freaky....

western waste - break away
because im in it

I'm liking AFI - Silver and Cold recentely.
It's just.....idk.

Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug

All time favourite is 'Star Guitar' by The Chemical Brothers.

Current favourite is the one about milkshake by Kelis.

GREAT choice!!

another one that comes to mind is Fastlove by George Michael.

You can't forget Aha - Take On Me!!!!

I like the video for Hey Ya too.

That's my all-time favorite. And I don't even like that kind of music.

Honorable mention: Tom Petty - Don't Come Around Here No More

Korn - Freak on a Leash
Staind - For You

Take On Me is still my favorite video...runners up are Boys of Summer (Don Henley) and Wicked Game (Chris Isaak)

There are so many great ones out there.

All Is Full of Love by Bjork

Only You by Potrishead

B Line by Lamb

Man That You Fear by Marilyn Manson, among many others

Just by Radiohead

My Culture by 1 Giant Leap (feat. Robbie Williams)

Coffee & TV by Blur, "The Universal" is another good one by them.

[edit]

Gota add Mr. Krinkle by Primus, a great video and the song got bad ass bass



Some great ones mentioned that I would like to back up.

Rabbit In Your Headlights - UNKLE

Come to daddy - Aphex Twin

Weapon of Choice – Fatboy Slim

Dangerous - Busta Rhymes

A close call between Bowie's Hearts Filthy Lesson, but I think I'll go with NIN and "Closer" instead. The uncut version of course.

Radiohead - Paranoid Android

Do The Evolution and 1979. *nods*

I have a soft spot for "Fat" by Weird Al. Never fails to crack me up. "What it is with you, man, are you on some kind of diet? Is that what they're teaching you in that little sissy school of yours?"

Rammstein - Du Hast.

Im surprised no one has mentioned them. All of their videos are great.
I also agree with what a few others have said, anything from Tool and Aphex Twin is fantastic.

Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up

I really like Coldplay's "The Scientist."

Radiohead - Just
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Every Time I Die - Ebolarama
Podigy - Smack My Bitch Up
Rage Against the Machine - Freedom and Bulls On Parade
any Mandy Moore video as wel

Smashing Pumpkins - Today

Smashing Pumpins - 1979

Weezer - Buddy Holly
Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight
Nirvana - Smells like Teen Spirit

Can't Stop - RHCP
First Date - Blink 182

Tool - Parabol/Parabola
Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet with Butterfly Wings

Beat me to my top 2...:)

Honorable mention:
Fell in Love with a Girl: White Stripes
Smells like Teen Spirit: Nirvana
Are you Gonna be my Girl: Jet
Learn to Fly: Foo Fighters
Time of your life: Green Day

One by Metallica is my favorite all time, I don't watch many videos anymore since MuchMusic turned to crap, the Hey Ya one is pretty damn good though.


Edit: OOH OOH sister's friend showed me a new animated George Michael's one, hold on while I find it...

SHOOT THE DOG by George Michael, I was on the ground laughing so hard I was crying, is a great great video.

Ah, come on everyone.

Epic by Faith No More

Honorable mention:

Opposites Attract by Paula Abdul


I probably would have mentioned Soundgarden, Tool, NIN, Bjork, and Massive Attack if no one else had...

OK, best video of all time is Tom Petty - Don't Come Around Here No More. Nothing else even comes close.

After that, though, there are a TON of excellent videos, so I am hard pressed to pick just one more. That said, after much thought, my honorable mention goes to Weird Al - All About the Pentiums.

Basically everything by Weird Al, Tool, They Might Be Giants, Talking Heads, Tom Petty, and Peter Gabriel is top tier.

Props to willbjammin for mentioning Paula Abdul. The music can be pretty vapid, but the choreography is incredible.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Michael Jacksons "Thriller"
I was meanting to download that at Halloween and freak my kids out...

and of course by looking at my sig its obvious that I like everything from Radiohead...

Aphex Twin - Monkey Drummer.
then Donkey Rhubarb. Something about big furry animal suits with Richard D James messed up face just cracks me up

Oh, and definitely Prodigy's - Smack my bitch up.

Can't Stop - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers

for a new video, I like 'Megalomaniac' by Incubus.

I haven't seen many music videos, but "Breaking the Law" by Judas Priest always makes me laugh.

I like Tool-"Sober". That video is really weird and dark, and I don't know what the hell is going on, but I always stopped what I was doing when I was younger to watch it. Too bad they don't show it on TV anymore, I miss that little clay man.

Most definitely

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.
