Favourite Music Videos

Post by Moeboid »

A thread for your favourite music videos (not necessarily the music videos of your favourite songs).

I must say I care less about the video than the music, but here are a few videos that I really love:

1. Aphex Twin - Windowlicker
This is just about the coolest thing ever. I like a lot of Chris Cunningham's work, but this is easily my favourite.
Hidden:
2. Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer
Just about everyone knows this one, but it's really cool. Total Jan Svankmajer rip off, but whatever.
Hidden:
3. Madonna - Frozen
Another Chris Cunningham. Not as good as Windowlicker, but still pretty cool.

2. Fleet Foxes - The Shrine/An Argument

3. Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal

I could keep posting Fleet Foxes, because their videos are genius, but, I'll post more another day...

Wow, thanks for posting VirtualWeasel. I'm a big fan of Fleet Foxes, but I'd never bothered to check out their music videos until now. Worth watching :). The Coldplay one didn't work for me. I might check it out later.

Some great ones so far, here are a few more I like:

Muse - Knights of Cydonia
I wasn't sober when I first saw this video and it had me in hysterics and when it got to the part where you could see the camera crew in the mirror, I nearly died.
Spoiler:
Primus - Mr. Krinkle
Yea, it's weird, but I can't leave out my most memorable video form the 90's
Spoiler:
Busta Rhymes - Gimme Some More

I've got one I can think of at the moment, since it's pretty new:

Muse - Panic Station
Apparently, they pretty much came up with and filmed this on a whim during a visit to Japan.

I am a law student and always support the content free from piracy and illegality. Well my favorite most song is "No Promises" by Shane Wards. I just love the music and lyrics of this song. There are many more songs which I love the most, but this is my favorite most

Best song ever and great video.


YouTube Link

Seriously, the video's nearly as good as the song.


YouTube Link

Dat chereography.


YouTube Link

Necessary metal cred. NSFW and stuff if your boss happens to be offended by two seconds of non-sexualised boobs.


YouTube Link

Someone already mentioned it but I don't care, it's Christopher Walken.


YouTube Link

Should have already been mentioned. Possibly NSFW if your boss is a Puritan as it's the most sexually charged thing ever.

Any love for Windowlicker??? That's first for me by a long shot. Anyone bother to watch it (yeah, the intro drags on a bit).

I think the lack of avatar (until recently) and signature makes my presence pretty subtle. Still, surely there's no one else here who argues and disagrees with everyone as much as I do (this and this). Surely that stands out a bit. Been back for about a month now though. Better late than never. It's actually feels nice to know that someone remembers me :). I wondered if anyone did. I remember you too, VirtualWeasel. I remember most people I think. A couple that I don't remember. New faces, maybe? Name change? Not sure.

I should probably post something on topic: Hey Ya! Contender for the greatest song ever, but the music video didn't really interest me. I know a lot of people think highly of it. Maybe I just don't get it. Same with Closer and Lonely Boy. Not saying they're bad, just that I find them overrated. I wouldn't even comment if no one else thought highly of them, but like I said, they're often considered among the best music videos ever. I just find that strange.

I sat thru it. It was certainly creative but I didn't get it.
Liked the Madonna video much more, personally.
