David Bowie - Dead Man Walking, Ashes To Ashes, I’m Afraid of Americans, etc.
The Cure - Lullaby
to name a few…
Korn - Freak on a Leash
New Order - True Faith
Radiohead - Street Spirit
Multicyde - Not for the Dough (Doesn’t really count since it’s actually footage from Flåklypa Grand Prix. Very cool though.)
How could i forget True Faith…what a silly silly video…i love it! A couple of more i forgot to mention:
Pearl Jam - Jeremy
Laibach- i forget the name of the song, but the vid had a real neat Metropolis feel to it.
Front Line Assembly- mindphaser…slightly cheezy, but the song makes up for it.
I second these.
Also, “Voices Carry,” by 'Til Tuesday, and that REM video with the skinny naked girls and the one guy. Pop Song number something?
“Pop Song '89”.
Since there are metal-heads in this thread, I’m surprised no-one’s mentioned Metallica’s “One.” THE classic anti-war metal video.
Pearl Jam - (Do the) Evolution
Aphex Twin - any
Tool - any (Note, Tool DVD/CD with live mixes and 4 music videos coming out for the holidays)
Bjork - Human Behaviour, Army of Me
Chemical Brothers - Let Forever Be
Many more that I cannot for the life of me dredge up - any of you that have M2 (i.e. MTV2) know how nice it is to have a station that shows 100% music videos with no commercials. Their mix is eclectic and entertaining. If your cable doesn’t carry it, ask for it.
Anything by Blondie
Bif Naked - Moment of Weakness
The Cardigans - Been It, Favorite Game, Erase/Rewind
Sheryl Crow - All I Wanna Do
Any Go-go’s
KiTTie - Charolette
Beth Hart - L.A. Song
Sarah McLachlan - Sweet Surrender
Ace of Base - Don’t Turn Around
Meridith Brooks - Bitch
Any Fiona Apple
Sonic Youth - Bull in the Heather
Woah, you chose my 3! Except I would’ve added “Wish”
I also liked “Pink” and “Livin on the Edge” by Aerosmith
The only reason i didn’t pick Wish…is because the sight of trent in those short shorts and the black hose…kinda grossed me out.
Lenny Kravitz - “Are You Gonna Go My Way”, even though there’s not much to it.
The Offspring - “Pretty Fly for a White Guy”
Twisted Sister - “We’re Not Going to Take it”
Ahhhhh he looked SO hot in fishnets…damn, that video was awesome…a bunch of sweaty, angry long haired guys trying to get at Trent Reznor and NIN was just <i>perfect</i>. That reminds me…I forgot to mention “Perfect Drug”! That video was sooooooo cool
you betta be a girl and if you’re not…yeah trent did look HOT, i just didn’t wanna say it the 1st time cause i was afraid you guys would judge…Oh, and the guy with the giant black dildo in the Sin vid, always brightens up my day.
Damn straight! Yeah, I’m a girl, and I don’t care what people think, Trent is MAD hot…I don’t care WHAT he’s wearing! The less the better, acutally;)
Wasn’t the Take on me video the one where a guy gets sucked into a comic strip while grabbing a bite at a cafe. If so, yeah, it is an awesome video and deserves inclusion on this mighty prestigious list.
Other nominees:
Aerosmith’s Alicia Silverstone trilogy: Amazing/Crying/Crazy.
Britney Spears’ “Sometimes” and “(You drive me) Crazy”. Hey, don’t look at me like that. Her awesome looks add a new dimension (sexual, of course) to the video.
It’s my life–Bon Jovi. My all time fave. Great song, hot girl, Matrix bullet time effect. It has it all.
BTW, isn’t that girl the one who plays the role of Liz on Roswell?
