Your bestestest music videos!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

So then, what are your favourite few music videos? Keep em ten or under and if there's a link to the video in YouTube or somewhere, link it so we can see the genius!

Forgetting lots of loved videos I'm sure, mine would probably be:

Firstly two for Sigur Ros:

+ Hoppipola http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDxMQaMqsig (Old people acting like kids! Whooo!)

+ Glosoli

(Just a really beautifully shot video)

Some of Chris Cunningham's excellent work:

+ Aphex Twin's Windowlicker http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1P3Wc-37pC4 (Ten minutes of genius)

+ Bjork's All Is Full Of Love

(Robot love)

+ Squarepusher's Come On My Selector http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLGfAUfmSc8 (Bizzario)

Some Polysics: (They're incredible to see live and if you get the chance, do it!)

+ I, My, Me, Mine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g80kfYYHHrc (Random)

+ Each Life Each End

(More randomness)

Other stuff: (To be added after TouTube temporarily went offline)

+ UNKLE's Rabbit In The Headlights

#1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQTisB1mhc8

Everyone can probably guess which one that is ¬_¬

#2:

Blackbeard's Treasure by Cap'n Dan. Truely the greatest music video ever made. g'yar! (Except the one above, obviously).

I'm not the most artsy-fartsy person in the world, so I just pick stuff which I think is cool, or fits the song well, or whatever. The song generally has to be good too. If CSAMH hadn't posted them "Window Licker" and "Hoppipola" would be right up there as a couple of my favourites. But what's the point in posting them twice.

These are in no particular order;

"Brothers On A Hotel Bed" by Death Cab For Cutie : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7euMj2ZK5g

A real simple, sweet song. The video is perfect for the music. The BEST indie band around today, no doubts.

"7-11" by Eskimo Disco :

PINGU!!!!!!!!!! And a really funky dance-rock tune to-boot.

"Around The World" by Daft Punk : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e56vQ0kmaYg

Real clever idea. Each movement represents a line of the music, plus it just looks awesome. Classic song too.

"No Surprises" by Radiohead http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqsyXdj_p_I

Probably such a clichéd choice by now. But it is really effective, and the song is absolutely amazing too.

"The Passenger" by Bad Astronaut : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbD6POvOQ1o

Not really sure what I like about the video, I just do. A really, really beautiful song though.

"Blind Pilots" by The Cooper Temple Clause :

A real catchy song, CTC are one of the most underrated bands out there IMO (The new album is top notch stuff), fucked up video too.

Can't think of anymore at the moment.

Special mention to this awful but horifically catchy dance number; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM5IJR-zFKI

She can't sing, but boy is she hot. The comments are awesome, "Whey! I'm Egyptian", has me pissing myself.

And not a music video, but a live video. But I wanted to share with you the greatest (Strung Out) song ever written;

"Gear Box" by Strung Out :

If only that tone-death arsehole wouldn't keep singing along.

The first three minutes of Windowlicker has so far been the most boring experience of my life. I hope it gets better

[AnnIQ Edison]

"Freestyler" - Bomfunk MC : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkRLMdxUGHQ

Great Song followed by a great video clip. The thought of actually being able to play with time on an MP3 is just plain awesome

[YI]

bwahahaha, Bomfunk MC, awesome. That's weird, you totally forget about something for years and twice in two days it gets brought up.

[Farmer Reil]

Ooooh, forgot that one. I hate the damn song, but the video is actually very cool.

Another one I forgot: Disturbed - Prayer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPRTFAFJ3vY

Edit: And another one, although I don't really like the song or the band:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNRyY7j09eI

Korn - Freak on a Leash

As for videos of music (as opposed to videos made for music), nothing can beat the Blind Guardian video where the fans render Hansi Kürsch completely obsolete ¬_¬:

[SeanDMan]

Okay.

Matt Good Band's Anti-Pop. And Carmelina. http://youtube.com/watch?v=5t7X1ZoYq3k. And The Future Is X-Rated. And Weapon.

Also, there's Rabbit In Your Headlights, Hey Boy Hey Girl, Smack My Bitch Up, Voodoo People, Combat Baby, because I'm a sucker for syncronized tank dance routines.

[YI]

What's the Prodigy song with the video where all the people are blindfolded and running? That's the GREATEST video ever, hands down, no doubt about it. Fucking brilliant.

Oh, SDM posted it. "Voodoo People". Great video.

Edited January 28, 2007 by Steve Mandela

Voodoo People is badass. Never seen that before.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

The running blindfolded in that video is a takeoff from the movie "Intacto" - a Spanish film about luck. In one scene all the competitors who believe themselves to be the most lucky are blindfolded with hands behind their back and run through a forest until only one remains without having hit a tree, proving they're the luckiest.

Brutal Truth - "Collateral Damage"

This video is record-breaking and has made it into the Guinnes Book Of World Records. Amazing stuff.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=f0vYmXIrmUI Bwahahaha Zombie Nation. Great video!

Fatboy Slim's classic Right here Right Now: http://youtube.com/watch?v=So63IT29HUQ

Even better - Ya Mama:

Okay okay, The Scientist by Coldplay is cleverness: http://youtube.com/watch?v=VhOUlo1VLBY

SEXY BOY! (by Air) http://youtube.com/watch?v=S49USY0uOsQ

Remind Me (Royksopp)

Also the original video for "Muscle Museum" by Muse is great cos the back of my head's in it!

[Only In Dreams]

Bad Astronaunt - The Passenger

This song by far is my favorite off the "Houston We Have a Drinking Problem" Album they released. I wish they made more videos because I love the cartoon astronaunt.

Bad Religion -

My favorite song off the album Generator. Also Greg Graffin is wearing a suit, and looks quite studly doing so.

The Early November -

This video has to be cheesy in the special effects value, but the song itself, off of probably their greatest album to date is a good listen.

Blink 182 -

This is a funny video, them doing a parody of themselves for all of their funny videos from Enema of the State with midgets.

EDIT: CSAMH I raise your Fat Boy Slim Video with...

Don't they gamble with their luck or something? I remember reading a review in an old Empire about a film that was like that.

Yeah, to start with they take instant photos of what they gamble with (car, house etc) and the winner gets everything. Then they start to take photos of people and gamble with the luck of those people. Great movie. I also have The Cooler with William H Macy which is also about the exploration of luck - they make a great double feature.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Pah Weapon Of Choice is nearly as overrated a video as Praise You!

Well then, time for Sabotage by the Beastie Boys: http://youtube.com/watch?v=lzTxuDUfzzM

Has it got subtitles? Because it sounds fucking good.

Mostly subtitles, some English though I believe.
