Here Today... Gone To Hell!

My favorites are:
 1. Thriller' by Michael Jackson (Sorry, but you can't f*ck with Thriller.)
 2.  Jeremy' by Pearl Jam (I know Jarmo agrees with me on this)
3. Californication' by the Red Hot Chili Peppers (Love the video game concept)
3. Stan' by Eminem (Don't laugh, it actually was a very good video which actually told a story
4. Losing My Religion' by REM. (The symbolism runs rampade in here)

What does everyone else like?

My personal top five:
1.- Aerosmith - Amazing (so futuristic at the time, still is anyway)
2.- Pearl Jam - Jeremy (cool true story)
3.- Queen - I want to break free  (cool concept)
4.- Bon jovi - Living In Sin (yeah i hate jovi but a good video  :yes:)
5.- Enigma - Return to Inocence (words can't describe it)

I would post at number one November Rain, but ...  ::)

Crazy - Aerosmith - anyone that has seen it knows what i'm on about : ok: :drool:
Give in to me - Michael Jackson - Jacko and Slash the dream line up and such a song!
Jeremy - Pearl Jam - those eyes!
Smells like Teen spirit - Nirvana - fantastic
Learn to fly - Foo fighters - so funny

I forgot about this one. People need to stop making fun of Micheal. He is way more talented then any of them are and are gonna be.

Also Add to my list:

Metallica-Enter Sandman
Faith No More- Epic
NOFX-  Thorn in your eye (So simplistic but awesome)
Micheal Jackson- Smooth Criminal

Weezer - Keep Fishin' (You can't go wrong with the muppets)
                Buddy Holly (The editing/digital splicing job Spike Jonze did on this is   still astoun ding today).

Queen - The show must go on (It's only a sucession of clips from old video, but agian a good editing job. They were even so kind to include bits of some quite rare videos)

Michael Jackson - All 'thriller' and 'bad' era videos (raised the bar for video making)

Metallica - Turn the page
Smashing Pumpkins - Try, try try (full length version)
Prodigy - Smack my bitch up (All of the above are Jonas Ackerlund's work - controversial, but with substance)

David Bowie - 'Life on Mars' promo (simple but effective)

Rolling Stones - 'Love is strong' (a technical marvel)
                       - Sympathy for the devil' (form 'Rock n' roll circus' - great    performance video).
Radiohead - Paranoid Android
Foo Fighters - Learn to Fly (its a laugh, innit?)
Prince - Purple Rain
Eminem - 'Without me'
Pink floyd - 'Another Brick in the wall' (for the animated bits)
Janes Addiction - 'Been caught stealing' (how DID that dancer get his ankle behind his head?)




Oh yes!

Other good 'T and A' videos

Madonna - 'Beautiful Stranger'
Christina Aguilera - Dirrty
Goldfrapp  - 'Twist'
Britney Spears - 'Crazy'
50 Cent - 'Pimp' (uncut version)

Okay, that's enough lowering of the tone for now. Please accept my apologies if I have opened up a new and deeply distasteful can of worms.

E-Hogg

Ozzy-Gets me through
Poison-every rose has its thorn
Foo Fighters-Learn to fly
Blink182-All the small things

The list goes on but I think ill stope here

yeah i didnt know they did a video for this either, but its on the bon jovi "crossroads" the videos vhs

this song describes bon jovi's biggest problem, on just about every cd they have a "dry county" type song, a song that kicks ass but for some reason the band,record label, whomever over looks it and never releases it as a single

they are an extremely accomplished and popular band, but i just think if they released songs like "dry county" etc it would help remove some of the "hair band" or "arena rock" stigma the band has.

live version is awesome!

Fatboy Slim-weapon of choice
Bj?k-joga
Blind Melon-no rain
Blur-song 2
Chemical Brothers-let forever be
Duran Duran-ordinary world
Fiona Apple-criminal
Garbage-Only happy when it rains

Meshuggah - New Millennium Cyanide Christ is simply hilarious :D The whole video consists of the guys moshing in the tour bus. The thing is set up in a really cool way, and the song is great as well. It's a sort of underground classic among a certain group of people.

Marilyn Manson - Beautiful People / Tourniquet - just love the design and ambiance. all the "little" effects that are used. great inspiration.

ColdPlay - Scientist - even the band sux, i love the idea in the video. the whole "backward" thing is so well done, really.

Tool - most of them. they are interesting.

NIN - Closer - amazing. exactly what marilynmanson is trying to do since day one.


but the BEST video ever, that blows me away everytime i see it

* REM - Imitation of Life *
the video shows a garden party with a pool, and well, its from a unique point of view, but as the songs goes on the cameras sometimes zooms on a scene, and then go back to its original P O V, so u see scenes twice sometimes and u understand how it began .... i dunno...its magical.
man, i'm still trying to figure out how they did, is it chronological ? is it a long unique shot ? is it a montage ? fake ? composing ?

TECHNICLY master piece.

The ones that I can think of right now...

Pixies - Velouria. The concept is so simple. The four members of the band running down a mountain in slow motion. It's so simple, it's stupid...but it's just the Pixies way.

NIN - Closer

Radiohead - Fake plastic Trees

The dandy Warhols - Godless

STP - Sour Girl

Bon Jovi - Misunderstood
Electric 6 - Gay Bar  :hihi:

Faith No More - A Small Victory
Radiohead - Just
Mr. Bungle - Quote Unquote (Travolta)
Metallica - One
Sepultura - Arise
Nine Inch Nails - Head Like A Hole
Misfits - Braineaters - nice one - Chris!!!!
Carcass - Corporeal Jigsore Quandry

aerosmith-love in an elevator, ragdoll
faith no more-epic
weezer-buddy holly, keep fishin
metallica-whiskey in the jar
and I don't know if this counts but theres a performance vid of aerosmith doing dream on with an orchestra for mtvs 10th anniversary that is fucking awesome.

Green jelly - Three Little Piggies
