Guest EricMM Report post Posted November 23, 2002 I would like to ask what you all think the best videos are, period. I think they should match the song, and be good in their own right as well. I'll kick it off with Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" It matched the song perfectly, and they images of Jeremy standing in front of the flames with his arms in the V still give me goosebumps. It's the song, the images, the message, everything. What say you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Spaceman Spiff Report post Posted November 24, 2002 Pearl Jam's "Do The Evolution" is a good video, too. Nirvana's "In Bloom" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Musou Report post Posted November 24, 2002 Poem by Taproot is one of my personal favorites. Californication by RHCP rocks. Urhmmmm..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheyCallMeMark Report post Posted November 24, 2002 "November Rain" is unquestionably the best music video ever. It actually enhances the song rather than just looking cool. Never have I ever seen a music video that actually made the song better than it already was. The closest competitor just didn't fuck the song up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest godthedog Report post Posted November 24, 2002 tie between 'sabotage' and 'closer'. runners up: 'free as a bird', the beatles 'smack my bitch up', prodigy 'human behavior', bjork 'wynona's big brown beaver', primus any tool video. and shame on kinetic for not mentioning 'subterranean homesick blues'.

Guest Kinetic Report post Posted November 24, 2002 Yes, shame on me. The whole film from which it's derived, "Don't Look Back," is well worth the time and effort involved in seeing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DawnBTVS Report post Posted November 24, 2002 Stereophonics - "Mr. Writer" Singing in a snowglobe and the clown makeup at the beginning just kicked ass. Realistically It's so F'n simple... "Beat It"-Michael Jackson Enuff Said right there! It's one the pioneers of music videos and even now is great to watch and I think it enhances the song as well.

Guest Respect The 'Taker Report post Posted November 24, 2002 Why the hell hasn't Michael Jackson been mentioned yet!? 'Thriller' by Mr. Jackson blows the shit out of anything ever made. However, 'November Rain', 'One', 'You Could Be Mine' and 'Black or White' (hey, morphing RULES) deserve mentions as well.

Guest TheyCallMeMark Report post Posted November 24, 2002 Use Your Illusion, Axl is looking at me in that picture like I am a little boy and he's trying to get me to get into his van so we can have some sort of encounter of the illegal kind. Anyway, I hate MJ's video's. They're so LONG. It's like "When the fuck is this song gonna start?"Agh I can't freaking stand them. WE'RE ZOMBIES AND WE'RE GONNA DANCE FOR TEN MINUTES BEFORE THIS MEDIOCRE MICHAEL JACKSON SONG STARTS BUT FIRST HE HAS TO WAVE SOME BABIES AROUND! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye Report post Posted November 24, 2002 CoreyLazarus416 Posted on Nov 24 2002, 11:55 AM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With the exception of "You Could Be Mine" (mainly because I haven't seen it), I have to agree with Mr. Use Your Illusion's list. "You Could Be Mine" is good for a movie hype type of music video. Nothing special but well done to hype the song and the movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Hamburglar Report post Posted November 24, 2002 A good music video is a thing of beauty. Prodigy - Smack My bitch up. Prodigy - Firestarter - simple, but it fit the song so perfectly. Rammstein - Sonne, Mutter as well. Fatboy Slim - Right here Right Now. Moby - Why does my heart feels so bad ( the little guy and his dog are so heartwarming....boo hoohoohoo).

Guest KoR Fungus Report post Posted November 25, 2002 I say Jeremy also. I also liked the videos for Stan and Freak on a Leash. Stan just does a really good job of showing the images that the song is describing, and Freak on a Leash has great special effects and is just a lot of fun to watch.
