Some of my favourites have been mentioned: Take on Me Gorillaz videos (Mostly 19-2000, though. Noodlez rocks.) Don’t Come Around Here No More Hey Ya Some others… Every Prozzak video from Strange Disease on (or was Sucks to be You first…? I’m pretty sure Strange Disease was the first, but either way, whichever of those was first, from that one on.) Cradle of Filth - Her Ghost in the Fog and Born in a Burial Gown Now a fairly random list of Japanese vids… Mini Moni - Strawberry Pie, Mini Moni Telephone Ring Ring Ring and Jan Ken Pyon Puchi Moni - Koi ni Knock Out Malice Mizer - Beast of Blood Tommy February6 - MaGic youR Eyes Dir en Grey - Child Prey Puffy - Boogy Woogie no 5 and Circuit no Musume ---

I like the Gorillaz videos, and also Californication, by Red Hot Chili Peppers. I like one of Ludacris’s most recent videos, “Get back”, if only because the models there were different from the standard Hip-hop fare. And the special effects were good, too. ---
