Awesome music videos

Its been a few years since I've had a music video a thon and I am compiling some good ones for this go around.

What are some good, creative, inventive, well directed videos that either tell a great story, are visually interesting or are just simply amazing?

a buddy just turned me on to this one tonight.



So hetero yet so good. You owe it to yourself to watch it in high quality on YouTube

others I'll be showing are Robbie Williams-Rock DJ, Nickelback-Someday, Madonna-Like a Prayer, Aha-Take on Me, The Lonely Island-Dick in a Box+Jizz in My Pants, some greats from Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead stuff, Feist-1234, Pearl Jam-Do The Evolution, Stone Sour-Through Glass, lots from The Work Of Director's discs, and of course Thriller.

Nine Inch Nails's "Closer"(NSFW!!!), also "Only". (I cant find the video anywhere...)
Linkin Park's "Leave Out All the Rest" is pretty cool, inspired by Danny Boyle's Sunshine. "Bleed it Out" is also pretty fun, with the bar room brawl in reverse while the band plays in real time.

Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer

The grand daddy of all music videos. This still puts 99% of all music videos to shame when it comes to creativity and originality today.

Sledgehammer is on the list already as is some Nine Inch Nails (like Closer which is on the Mark Romanek Director's disc) and Marilyn Manson. Sledgehammer really is one of the greats of all time. I'm so sick of unimaginative videos with the band playing in a club, or just on stage (and then the roof catches on fire). How hard is it to come up with a decent video concept? Apparently very hard.

The video for Only can be found on the HD DVD and Blu Rays of NIN Beside You In Time Live.

I hear ya on that assessment. But you gotta give it up for Angus and company for taking it to another level on the tried and true cliche.

The ultimate, gratuitous, pack-as-many-bikini-clad-chicks-in-a-video-for-no-other-reason video.

I take your Benny Benassi "Satisfaction", and counter with this...



This is a cover of the classic Yes song, Owner Of A Lonely Heart, by Max Graham.

No that is NOT a cover. A cover is when someone with even the smallest amount of musical ability picks up an instrument and re records a song. That someone being someone other than the original artist.

That right there is what is on the same level as rap, which is on the bottom of the musical barrel. The 12 year old kid picked an 80s song, found a beat track plugged it into Acid or some such program and then layed the original P song over it. People who do remixes like this are about as creative as Milli Vanilli.

Im here to make people smile...by way of hot chicks in bikini's.

As for embedding. Go to the YouTube page with the video in question. On the right side of the video, theres a URL box and an Embed box. Left Mouse select inside the Embed box (it will turn to blue color when selected). Now right Mouse Select this blue code, and choose copy. Come back here and Paste into your post and your all set.

One of my all time faves. This is how you do a music video right.

I have the DVD of Beside You In Time. I have the Only video on my Zune, but I cant find the video on Youtube or other video sites. Watching the video, you can just tell it was directed by David Fincher.

Well, keep up the smile generator, it's working and people appreciate you for it. I have the same philosophy for myself.

Here's my attempt folks...

There are links for embedding flash/wiki/spoiler/youtube and imdb links into your post.

For youtube, you just need the part of the URL that defines the video. (So, for the previous video: GMk208Op1Jc&hl )

Just paste that inbetween the youtube tags, and you get this:


Wiki's look like this: LoftWiki

etc...
