Best Music Video

[Guest EricMM]

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?

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

Pearl Jam's "Do The Evolution" is a good video, too.

 

Nirvana's "In Bloom"

[Guest Kinetic]

The Replacements' "Left of the Dial."

[Guest Youth N Asia]

Bad Ronald "Let's Begin (Shoot the Shit)"

 

*crickets chirping*

 

Just kidding.

 

I really like George Harrison's "Got My Mind Set on You"

[Guest Nevermortal]

Cradle of Filth - "From the Cradle to Enslave". Blood, Suicide, Chained Men, Midgets, Demon Gods, Titties, Bush, this video has it all!

[Guest Mark4steamboat]

I second In Bloom.

 

Im going to add Sober by Tool and Closer by NIN

[Guest Musou]

Poem by Taproot is one of my personal favorites. Californication by RHCP rocks. Urhmmmm.....

[Guest TheyCallMeMark]

"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.

[Guest dreamer420]

White America by Eminem

 

I'm A Slave 4 U by Britney Spears (well it's the hotest anyway!)

[Your Paragon of Virtue]

Beastie Boys - Sabotage is a personal favourite.

 

Another unspeakably cool one is Radiohead - Just

[Guest godthedog]

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]

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.

[Guest DawnBTVS]

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 HollywoodSpikeJenkins]

Dirrty - Christina Aguileria

[Guest spiny norman]

Madonna - Material Girl

Michael Jackson - Thriller

Queen - I Want To Break Free

Fatboy Slim - Praise You

Dire Straits - Money For Nothing

That will do for now.

[LaParkaYourCar]

Enter Sandman, Unforgiven, and One - Metallica

[Guest Respect The 'Taker]

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.

 

Illusion - Music Video Material

[Guest spiny norman]

I thought I saw Michael Jackson in mine and dawnBTVS's lists?

 

Maybe it's just those hallucinogens again.

Illusion

[Guest TheyCallMeMark]

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!

[Guest Flyboy]

"November Rain" -- Guns N' Roses.

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

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.

[Guest goodhelmet]

van halen- hot for teacher

[Guest The Hamburglar]

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 CoreyLazarus416]

I completely forgot about the Rammstein videos. Damn those things are pieces of art...

 

German industrial metal + Quentin Tarantino = Rammstein videos

[Guest crandamaniac]

I dunno, for some reason I've always liked Genesis's video for "Land of Confusion"

[Guest Kingpk]

Beat It - MJ

Thriller - MJ

The one Fatboy Slim video with Christopher Walken dancing around a hotel lobby.

About 99.99% of Weird Al's videos.

[Guest KoR Fungus]

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.

Riiiiight...are you sure your not just seeing things you secretly WANT to see?

 

I so need to change this thing anyway...

 

Illusion - Likes girls...really
