Greatest Music Videos Ever

[ange7]

Ok... first topic of my own.
Sorry if this has been done already.... I did a search and found nothing so I'll just start one myself.

Which music videos were SO amazing that they made your jaw drop!

So beautifully made, so technically amazing, so ground breaking or arty or shocking that you remember the song BECAUSE of the video.

Post youtube live links so we can watch them on this page.
eg type

Type "enter the youtube address here"

Aphex Twin's video scares me, but I love the Bjork ones.

These stick out for me:

Weezer - Pork & Beans [won't make sense if you don't watch much YouTube videos.]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eOugiYlB0I
Foo Fighters - The Pretender

and, although I'm biased because it's my favourite song of all time:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGYRvIOZfZ8
Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy [and also Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve, because they did the same thing.]

[Novo]

ooooh radiohead "street spirit" ... or fadeout?
Loved this video! I'm a fan of time lapse photography and super slow motion .... makes the characters seem timeless and magical. This clip has the director mix the frame speed of different elements/characters within a frame which adds to it's trippyness. Cool effect and works so well with the song too. Cheers

...........

Another from me....this vid was pretty ground breaking in the late seventies but I've listed because (besides being a fan) I always remember the imagery in this vid where as I kind of forgot the tune.
Joy Division "Atmosphere"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSh7444zG4Q

... later as New order they made lots of amazing videos that had a beautiful film look ...my fav was this one. Simple idea that looked great.
New Order - "Round & Round"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kHgMvWmIs4

Remembered one more!!!

Sonic Youth "Kool Thing"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARdNyWEKAFY
Kim Gordon and the Chuck D from Public Enemy

Finally some super old school ( showing my age lol)
LL Cool J - Going Back To Cali
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eG9MBXHBtE4
Take some art deco architecture, film it in a "film noir"style add one LL Cool J ...serve chilled.

[NettoSuperstar!]

Cant beat a bit of the New Order they had some good vids blue monday, true faith...And Public Enemy love em Old Skool in the house

[NettoSuperstar!]

Had to dig this out love them and they opened my eyes to **** I didnt know about. Theyre one of the most important artists in the world ever
