Just - Radiohead

You may of seen the 'smilie' version, if not it's below.

The conversation is subtitled as the song plays.
A man is lying on the street, and concerned people ask him what's wrong and why he's lying on the floor. Meanwhile, Radiohead is playing in a nearby apartment. Eventually, the man on the floor agrees to tell everyone what's wrong. But when he starts talking, the subtitles disappear and the viewer doesn't find out what's said. At the end, all the people standing around the man lie down also.

Awesome, Mini!!! Yeah, that video is great!

One video that I really love is You Can Call Me Al with Paul Simon and with Chevy Chase in the video. It's brilliant!!!

Another really cool video is Come To Daddy with Aphex Twin. That one almost made me **** my pants the first time I saw it.

[MyRobotSuit]

I love the Paul Simon video. Chevy Chase lip synching the words, it's hilarious.

Yeh Come to daddy scared the hell out of me too. I like Aphex Twin. Saying that most of their video's scare me. Have you seen the video for Window Licker?

[Revenge of Mr M]

One good one is Coldplay - the Scientist. A really fun one is Red Hot Chili Pappers - Can't stop

[Aniko]

I don't normally watch alot of music videos...but I do really like 3 Doors Down~ "Love Me When I'm Gone".


MJ's "Bad" and Weird Al's "Fat" are pretty fun to watch together.


I haven't seen the Paul Simon Video w/ Chevy Chase. Is it a current one or an older one?

Yeah, it's so good! When I was little I was so confused because I wasn't sure who was really singing the song - Paul or Chevy. Paul Simon is great too in the video with his miserable look and the way he plays all those instruments.

I would possibly call it the number one music video ever. For real. That's how good I think it is.

Yeh Come to daddy scared the hell out of me too. I like Aphex Twin. Saying that most of their video's scare me. Have you seen the video for Window Licker?

Yeah, that one is brilliant too. Great track as well.

You haven't seen it??? It's from the Graceland album which was recorded around 1986 or 1987 I believe. Very influenced by african music and I promise that you will recognize the song when you hear it.


I don't know how I could forget about Tool's videos made by the guitar-player (I've forgotten his name now). Those videos are so eerie and mystical and got some ancient fantasy feeling over them sort of... (Do you read me? :rolleyes: ). And musicwise I think they are totally in a league of their own. There is absolutely no band like Tool, and no videos like theirs. I think they are for contemporary metal what Metallica was once in the early 80's. There are so many bands today that bear the mark of Tool on their music - only Tool play the crap out of them all. It's just insane what they are able to do on their instruments, and Maynard is a fantastic singer.

:D I like Tool...

[MyRobotSuit]

I love Tool also. The video for Sober is my favourite.

It's quite scary.

Here's the link (http://toolshed.down.net/video/real/sober.ram) to stream it.

[Dark Wader]

Any video Tool does is great. Um lesse, what else:

Hurt - Johnny Cash
Closer - Nine Inch Nails
Go With The Flow - Queens Of The Stone Age
All My Life - Foo Fighters
Touched - VAST
Weapon Of Choice - Fatboy Slim

[Nikki]

pump up the volume............Dark

[jrs]

AHA's "Take on Me"

[Kong]

The video for Radiohead's Street Spirit is by far and away the best music video ever.

[MyRobotSuit]

Radiohead? Ah, yes the best band in the world, I remember.

Anyone in the uk who watched Jonathan Ross on BBC 1 last night were treated to a live performance by the band and to add if you listen to Radio 2 today Radiohead are in live session at about 10.am uk time. Listen online here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio2_aod.shtml?ross)

I love radiohead. I'm going to seee them in November! :)

[Hondo333]

Buddy Holly-Weezer

[Piddzilla]

That's a good one

[sphericthor]

Best Music video, now that's a tough one!!

Recently there hasn't been many good videos but there has also been a few that stood out

Sum 41 - The Hell Song - The guys made a video using numerous figurines which I found quite hilarious

Linkin Park - Crawlin' - Great video from LP need I say more

I know there's more but I can't think of them because I'm tired, it's 11:05PM here at the minute so I'll think of more and post them 2moro

[Hondo333]

Baggy Trousers-Maddness

[CALICUZN]

Michael Jackson's ~smooth Criminal Video

[marlowe203]

Paranoid Android by Radiohead and Dopehat by Marilyn Manson

[Revenant]

Weapon of choice and Just are two of my favourites. :D

Posting on here, as I've just seen the video for the new White Stripes song, a cover of 'I just don't know what to do with myself'.

Its a damn good rendition of the original, in fact I prefer it to the original by a good distance.

The video is one of the few really captivating ones of late, and no its not because of the stripper-esque woman on it. :) Its in black and white and has a fantasticaly simple yet highly effective cinematogrophy. It strikes the perfect mood to the accompanyment of the song.

[linespalsy]

i dont watch music videos much, dont really turn on mtv or vh1 ever, so dont get much chance to see them, which is probably for the best. i like laibach's videos for 'life is life' [opus], and 'geburt einer nation' [a cover of the queen song, 'one vision'], dey's funny, dem crazy slovenians and der crazy nsk.

for a more serious bit, i recently saw footage of something einsturzende neubauten did, a video for a bunch of songs off the album '1/2 mensch', in particular the bit for 'Z.N.S.', which was sort of like a post apocalyptic, s&m themed take on kabuki theater. dont know how else to describe it, it was really amazing.

also the video for 'weeping song', with the duo of nick cave and blixa bargeld [einsturzende neubauten, heh, wow they pop up in two nonrelated clauses of the same entry. weird, huh?] singin to each other on the little rowboat with the fake stage water and background. amusing, it was.

[undercoverlover]

the reason - hoobastank

it tells a little story that doesnt make sense until the end when its been shown from all angles

I miss you - Blink 182

just wierd but really beautiful

Concrete angel - Martina McBride

its a country video, it absolutely breaks my heart watching this, the song is about a little girl who is abused and eventually dies at the hands of her mother

[Knoxville]

The Perfect Drug-Nine Inch Nails love all the Gothic symbolism

Filthy Gorgeous-the Scissor Scissors camp fun

[undercoverlover]

[Nitzer]

zephyr by RHCP

[AboveTheClouds]

Probably something by Gwar, Gwar is hilarious. http://www.metalblade.de/Photos/gwar2_gross.jpg

[liam5000]

I really liked the clip for the Eminem song "Stan - directed by Dr. Dre, I think. Which makes him a pretty good director then; a very dark tone throughout the whole clip.

[undercoverlover]

yeah stan was pretty good, i like his latest song Lose It, that was pretty funny in the video. A good video is Busta Rhymes - Gime some more

[undercoverlover]

oooh i just saw My Chemical Romance's - I'm not okay (i promise), i think it looks great

Echo by Trapt - starring Michelle Trachtenberg from Buffy (she played lil dawnie, not so lil anymore!)

joga by bjork

[slipknotz10thmask]

I liked "Duality" by Slipknot, "White Wedding" by Murderdolls, "Happy?" by Mudvayne, "Left Behind" by Slipknot and "Get Inside" by Stone Sour.
Also I think "Chop Seuy!" by System Of A Down is pretty nice,too.

[undercoverlover]

Weapon of Choice - Fatboy Slim with Christopher Walken doing what he started out doing, dancing. and hes pretty good at it too!

Epiphany - Staind, this video is really quite touching, watch it!

Helena - My Chemical Romance, this video is set at a funeral and the mourners burst out into dance, it's amazing!

Ocean Avenue - Yellowcard, this vid bought a guy racing to get to a girl but stuff gets in his way but it gets easier everytime he has to run to her its great

Man Overboard and Josie - Blink 182, what more is there to say

[Hondo333]

I liked "Duality" by Slipknot, "White Wedding" by Murderdolls, "Happy?" by Mudvayne, "Left Behind" by Slipknot and "Get Inside" by Stone Sour.

The Daicon 3 and 4 videos. These were a couple amateur fan anime videos that were shown at Japanese Sci-Fi convention in 1981 and 1983 (respectively). The makers of these videos would later go on to form the highly influential animation studio GAINAX (Evangelion, Gun Buster, Nadia, Royal Space Force). This clip contains both videos - the second one starts at 1:35 and is set to the super-cheesy song Twilight, by ELO.

Not much of a Madonna fan either, but I think some of her videos are top-notch.
