Best and worst music videos (any genre, any era)

Recommended Posts

I anxiously waited for @ to create this topic after it was mentioned in the new music video releases one, but she never did & I'm really bored right now, sooo. :hooker:

 

Here are some of my all time favourites (cba with least faves rn, will do them some other time).

 

NIN - Closer

Simultaneously very disturbing / creepy and really sexy (this era Trent Reznor could SO get it tbh). NSFW.

 

 

 

The Smashing Pumpkins - Stand Inside Your Love

Maybe a bit over the top but I love the whole ~b&w tragic love story thing.

 

 

 

The Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up

Very NSFW. Jonas Åkerlund's masterpiece tbh.

 

 

 

Blur - Coffee and TV

The cutest and also the saddest video clip EVAH. RIP little cartoon milk. :poordat:

 

 

 

Pulp - This Is Hardcore

This one's really great in an almost kitschy way, love it! Also, awesome film noir pastiche. :hooker:

 

 

 

Sigur Rós - Viðrar vel til loftárása

Simply one of the most beautiful and meaningful videos I've ever seen.

 

 

 

Arctic Monkeys - Suck It And See

Just visually stunning and very Lana Del Rey-ish imo, with all the Americana references and the crazy / toxic / intense relationship thing. NSFW-ish.

 

 

 

The Strokes - Someday

Because how could I not mention them tbh. Probably not even their best, but it's the most special one for me because ~dat nostalgia. :ohno:  :rip:

 



MOD NOTE: Please put all music videos UNDER A SPOILER

Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights :legend:

 

 

 

Martin de Thura makes amazing videos. Honorable mention: James Blake - Limit to your love

 

 

 

Shakira - Did it again. The choreography<3

 

 

 

 

For the worst I nomitate every German schlager video ever. My friend and I stumbled over a schlager channel by accident  and we just couldn't look away, it was like a car accident. :mj3:  :mj3:  :mj3:

The Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up

Very NSFW. Jonas Åkerlund's masterpiece tbh.

 

 

 

This one reminded me a LOT of Nicolas Winding Refn's first movies (the first 2 Pusher & Bleeder particularly), very similar style! Ever saw them?

My favorites:

 

Flying Lotus - Until The Quiet Comes short film directed by Kahlil Joseph

The most beautiful video clip I ever saw, hands down!

 

 

 

The Shoes - Time To Dance directed by Daniel Wolfe

Ultra violent, Jake Gyllenhaal completely nailed it. :smirk:

 

 

 

DJ Mehdi - Signatune directed by Romain Gavras

Because dude's gone too soon, RIP Mehdi. :(

 

 

 

Daft Punk - Da Funk directed by Spike Jonze

Most random clip EVER, love it. :toofunny:

 

 

 

XXYYXX - About You directed by VASH

SO hypnotizing & chill... :defeated:

Of all time is so hard, oh my goodness but here are the ones that I automatically think of
 
Best~

Barbie Girl by Aqua

 

This is not a joke! Aqua's first album 'Aquarium' is the pinnacle of pop music, I can't recommend it enough. All of Aqua's videos tell a story but at the same time don't take themselves too seriously.  Their 'Dr. Jones' music video is what Katy Perry's 'Roar' tried and failed to do. Plus Lene is super qt.

Mr. Brightside by The Killers

 

I still watch this video at least once every couple of weeks. It's so stunning and its sequel 'Miss Atomic Bomb' is just as great.

Take on Me by a-ha

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kemivUKb4f4

 

Buddy Holly by Weezer

Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve

The video is so simplistic but I think it fits the song perfectly.  The lead singer is walking with complete disregard to others in his path, knocking them to the ground, etc. This is my favorite song.. I know the video may have cost them next to nothing but I just love it.

It's My Life by No Doubt

(Also 'Trapped in a Box' and 'Cool' by Gwen)

Like a Prayer by Madonna
