I'm gonna list a TON here, sorry. I haven't watched music videos in a while but these ones always stick out in my mind...whether it was being confused and creeped out but totally fascinated by Genesis' "Land of Confusion", loving Spike Jonze's beautiful contributions like "Buddy Holly" and "Sabotage", staying up late watching Headbanger's Ball when I was a teenager, or THE greatest video of all time, Michael Jackson's "Thriller", I will now list (linked) my favorite videos of all time...so far:

Ween - Roses Are Free

Ween - Transdermal Celebration

DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince - Parents Just Don't Understand

Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy

Cold - Stupid Girl

Avalanches - Frontier Psychiatrist

Weezer - Buddy Holly

Pearl Jam - Jeremy

Radiohead - Paranoid Android

Blink 182 - All the Small Things

Primus - Winona and Her Big Brown Beaver

Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer

Genesis - Land of Confusion

Aerosmith - Cryin'

Entombed - Wolverine Blues

Beastie Boys - Sabotage

Morbid Angel - God of Emptiness

Tool - Sober

Ice Cube - It Was a Good Day

Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al

They Might Be Giants - Istanbul (Not Constantinople)

Michael Jackson - THRILLER

TOP THAT!

U2 - where the streets have no name

And I'm biased, but my favorite Arcade Fire song Rebellion (Lies)

I have more but I'll have to think about it

Well, 'werewolf bar mitzvah' would rank up there

i know there are others too but those ones are the ones that were sticking out in my mind first.

another one i liked a lot was no doubt's "don't speak".

"bittersweet symphony" by the verve.

i just wanted to pop that cocky fucker in the face throughout the whole thing. i like videos that make me angry and want to hurt people.

solid list, W_Z, weezer and radiohead are good. radiohead has had several cool videos, this is my favorite, karma police:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LeLAELIxKY

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aeFt-p3eqM - the wedding present perform "flying saucer" on top of the pops wearing biohazard suits

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKIGg21pPQE - death in june perform "bring in the night" live @ amiens, france, 1991

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ft1Nc5eP5vg - momus "hairstyle of the devil" promo video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3PgZ9bqShc - ugk feat. outkast "int'l player's anthem (i choose you)," instant classic

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21tzc4GI3wc - amon düül ii "between the eyes" live on german television (i think)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VElg2CNpJSY - black mountain "druganaut"

here's another one that's pretty great...sexy, sexy chick in the yellow too but funny as hell, inspired (obviously) by benny hill and such...

Blur - Country House

i love the song as well...

They still make music videos? I thought that was passe, like vinyl and 8 tracks.

Being a big fan of Beavis and Butthead back in the day, I still get a laugh out of the detachable penis video.

Great video but it was so long.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=siBoLc9vxac

The have videos for music now?

Sounds kind of pointless for me.

Music is meant to be heard.

Great thread W_Z!

here are some of my favorite videos. to be honest, i think bjork should be in a category all by herself. each and every one of her videos are works of art. So colorful, unique, and interesting.

"It's Oh So Quiet" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8Z1MpcyqQU
"Human Behaviour" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPyTgmC3 ... re=related
"Venus as a Boy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXXckQcW ... re=related

Others

"Sabatoge" by Beastie Boys

The first two are by Michael Gondry whose music videos are always great. He also directed "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."
Daft Punk - "Around the World
Chemical Brothers - "Let Forever Be"
Youtube doesn't really do this video justice, but it's quite outstanding on TV
Madonna "Ray of Light"
A video I'm endlessly amused by
Wubble U - "Petal"
Because I'm a sucker for break dancing
RUN-DMC vs. Jason Nevins - "It's Like That"
The funniest thing I've seen on TV this year
Sarah Silverman - "I'm Fucking Matt Damon"

My Dear Friend FatFavreFan,
I cannot believe you. I cannot believe you said that. What kind of fanboy are you? You actually said Touch of Grey. My, my, my. Ask a read Grateful Dead fan like Coast2Coast and see if that answer is acceptable. Are there other deaders out there? I know this is not right. You were going fine there in J.A.C.K.s world until a saw that.

Your Friend who recommends you never say that again,
Evil

Its not my favorite song by them but my friend Bruce was at the concert when they told them they were going to record their first music video. They ended up staying till 5 or 6 AM and played the song like 100 times so they could get the video right, and all of the fans you see stayed there the whole time to watch it. he said it was pretty cool but they alll hated the song for like the next 10 years. Anyway I know its not the most "deadheadish" song out there but its a good tune still.

My Friend Farts
I tell you that I do not take issue with your choice of song. I personally loved the Arista years and this was among the top 20 of that time. My issue is with the video. You saying this is a top video is like a Metallica fanboy saying he loves the "One" video. I do not understand you, but I still love you.

Your Dear Friend,
Evil J.A.C.K.

Great song (though it reminds me too much of the Seattle Seahawks) but yes it is an odd video. I do, however, need to visit his neighborhood. In 4 minutes he walked past more nice looking women than I see in a week.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRlj5vjp3Ko - Johnny Cash-Ring of Fire 1963

Bad link, at least on my computer, so I don't know which version you meant to post. I get the chills every time I see the 2002 Super Bowl performance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq08ouOwiqQ

Thriller is probably the best.


Notorious BIG feat 112 - Sky's the limit. They use kids for the video since BIG had died by then.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZDbbvVy7eaU


2 pac - Do for love - The use CGI and cartoon images since Pac was dead.

Queens Of The Stone Age - "Go With The Flow" - Done before Apple hijacked this animation effect for iPod commercials. So much thinly veiled sexual innuendo.

The Lawrence Arms - "An Evening Of Extraordinary Circumstance"
Rise Against - "Swing Life Away"

Both have great neighborhood shots of the city.

i had no clue tool made a video for sober.

this isnt a video as much as it is part of a live show and it was played on the big screens at the concert but

finally free by dream theater
http://youtube.com/watch?v=GZAerNMyhsI

its really friggen long. just fast forward to about 1:30 when the orchestral part is over.

That semi-hot, semi-troll looking chick from the early 90's singing "I Touch Myself" was a classic. Then again, Video Killed the Radio Star and Youtube killed the TV video so what does it matter.

Asia, "Heat of the Moment" all time worst.

Gotta run, Old Country Buffet is having buy-one-get- one special on Meatloaf tonight.
