_[Seven Nation Army](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mut_jxG1Uhc)_ by The White Stripes is an awesome video, not to mention song. _[Saved](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqQOgNu_JBE)_ by Zug Izland also has an awesome video. Watch it and you’ll see what I mean for sure. 😉 _[What’s a Girl To Do](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1wnOUH2jk8)_ by Bat For Lashes was introduced to me a long time ago by exactly one of these types of threads. I feel it should also be noted that none of these fucking videos are playing for me right now. As documented in The Pit recently, YouTube is being a huge bitch to me right now for reasons unknown. ---

Double post because my internet connection sucks large equine testicles. ---

•Pretty much any of the videos from Madonna’s _Ray of Light_. •Pearl Jam’s [Do the Evolution](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=copOYXvEsRs). •Vangelis’ [Conquest of Paradise](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gHZ2eoOk-I). (This one is probably cheating) •I have to admit a fondness for George Michael’s [Freedom 90](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTugeLRZ6GI). •…and Sad Kermit’s [Hurt](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57ta7mkgrOU), for whatever that counts as. ---

Huh. Woulda thought this one’d get more responses, myself. What the hell—a couple of more, for the road: •[Special](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_m7CuVZTVc) by Garbage. I’m a sucker for air combat. •[Here With Me](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y95-VipidR0) by Dido. 'Cause I’m a big softie. •[Hide and Seek](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cpSv2mNhhc) by Imogen Heap. Probably too trendy, I know. Bah, I like it anyway. •Aaaand…what the hell, [Love Song for a Vampire](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhG8zC4npsE) by Annie Lennox. Because Annie Lennox is very cool and spooky. ---

I don’t think I will ever tire of [Virtual Insanity](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJmX1z1NY2c) by Jamiroquai. ---

Björk’s video for [All is Full of Love](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjAoBKagWQA) is something special.
