Coolest Music Videos?

[TheAceTheOne]

Okay, so, I just saw three pretty hardcore music videos.

Spoiler: Skeletonwitch: Submit to the Suffering

Spoiler: GWAR: Zombies March!

Spoiler: Slipknot: Duality

These 3 are my personal favorites.

This one just made me think "What were they on when they made this?"

Spoiler: Skeletonwitch: Bringers of Death

Okay, so what are YOUR top 3 music videos? (and maybe one that made you think "What were they on?")

One of my all time favourites is defiantly Dire Straits "Money For Nothing"(great song, amazing video for the time)
thats all i can think of right now i don't watch music videos much (btw apologies for no link)

I like these threads. I'm gonna open with some Autechre, because they attract uncanny numbers of REALLY GOOD original fan video productions.

Autechre Fan Videos:



Autechre Official Videos:


Watch these and be entertained.

 

[Link_to_Future]

Oh yay! Music videos:




These three are fairly profound/trippy. Plus, the songs are just entertaining.

Spoiler: ...

What?

Okay, okay, here's a proper one:

 

[Sir Boss]

What about our own Miracle of sound? those are pretty damn good videos

 

[Arisato-kun]

I consider this one pretty damn awesome.


Let's not forget Muse either.

 

[GiantRaven]

 

[Grabbin Keelz]

I got sunshine inna bag baby

 

[KefkaCultist]

Yay, I love music themed threads! Top 5 incoming:

1) Obscure by Dir En Grey: The video is so horrible messed up and I LOVE it!

Spoiler

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Code Monkey by Jonathan Coulton: While its not an official video its one of the best AMVs I've seen.

Spoiler

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3)Toki's Cat Dream Song by Toki of Dethklok: Okay, so this actually part of a Metalocalypse episode, but I'm counting it because its fucking hilarious

Spoiler: Have to watch on Youtube unfortunately, but click the video and watch it. You wont regret it.

You kinda have to watch the episode to know what the hell they're singing about though.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4)El Manana by Gorillaz: No comment. It's just good.

Spoiler: Again, have to watch on youtube (I never understood the point of disabling embeding...)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5)The Gun Show by In This Moment: Maria brink in sexy clothes with a gun... 'nuff said.

Totally this:


Semi-joking aside..

 

[Rayne870]

This one never ceases to amuse me it in how simple it is.


Not sure if it's the video or the song but love this so much!

 

[octafish]

Chris Cunningham's film clip for Aphex Twin's Come to Daddy.

[StriderShinryu]

Anything directed by Floria Sigismondi. A couple of examples are Blue Orchid by the White Dtripes and Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson. She just has such an eye for creepy but beautiful.

Spoiler: Best. Music Video. Ever

 

[Pinkiequasar]

One of the greatest single continuous take videos, Here It Goes Again by OK Go.

http://youtu.be/dTAAsCNK7RA

One of the greatest rock songs ever, Sabotage by Beastie Boys.

http://youtu.be/z5rRZdiu1UE

One of the funniest songs ever, I'm On A Boat by The Lonely Island.

http://youtu.be/avaSdC0QOUM

A really crazy video. They made it grayscale, then added in whatever colours they wanted. Basket Case by Green Day.

http://youtu.be/NUTGr5t3MoY

And finally, "[t]his is the greatest and best song in the world", Tribute by Tenacious D

[Asuka Soryu]

I present to you, Smooth Criminal.

 

[RandallJohn]

I present to you, Smooth Criminal.

Dangit, Ninja'd. Good choice.

 

[=Paranoid=]

Oh how many videos i could post here... I'm going to break the rules and post 5 though.

One band still not mentioned by anyone so far has been Radiohead. They have had quite a few gems that have really stood out as spectacular music videos, but none as prolific as "Just"

Radiohead - Just


Something strangely satisfying about watching the next video =P

Fatboy Slim feat. Bootsy Collins - Weapon Of Choice


Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity


On a side note - liking/loving a song has no merit on what makes a great music video. Case and point, Bjork.

Bjork - All Is Full of Love


*PS- I hate Bjork*

Lastly one that may be fairly unknown but definitely up there as a must see.

U.N.K.L.E. featuring Thom Yorke - Rabbit in Your Headlights
