Since Geo started some music threads and I used to be a music video junkie.. what's your favorite music video? Here's one of my favorites (and usually old music videos are lame... but this one is cool): New Order's True Faith: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrNVeaXkfZs
Aphex twin = come to daddy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cFlaWxWDhI Tool = sober http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtlbteGQZnk Portishead = Only you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWsPJPEXJJw
Stuff by Chris Cunningham rules! Rubber Johnny (Music by Aphex Twins) All Is Full of Love (Bjork) Come To Daddy (Aphex Twins)

I haven't watched tv other than on dvds in years but Do the Evolution (Pearl Jam) has always stuck with me.
More by CUNNINGHAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://youtube.com/watch?v=MCxCYYfsCiY http://youtube.com/watch?v=l7ovoPCZSQw&mode=related&search= http://youtube.com/watch?v=RRiqps32F4s&mode=related&search=
To add another Chris Cunningham selection, his video for Squarepusher's "Come on my Selector" is my personal favorite, aside from that crazy video he did for Leftfield.
Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer ...and that Bjork one with John K's animation just a couple that come to mind.......god i haven't seen videos in a LONG time, like YEARS! ( anyone here old enough to remember "Night Tracks" on TBS? ) Ha, FETCH, Bjork, FETCH!!........good GIRL!!
Anything by SPike Jonze: Weezer's Buddy Holly. the Pixies slo-mo one, the one where the dude is on fire in slo-mo down the street, the Daft unk one..etc... (sorry for vaguness)
of the top of my head: All Cunningham ACROSS THE BOARD. robert palmer - addicted to love Madonna- Justify My Love Michael Jackson - thriller Billy Idol - Dancing With Myself A Perfect Circle - Judith (anything by fincher, really) Smashing Pumpkins - Ava Adore Prodigy - Smack My I FART A LOT up NIN - Wish Interpol - Obstacle 1 Beastie's - Sabotage Pantera - I'm Broken and Walk (tied) Some Girls - Warm Milk I could really keep going, but this was really the first several that came to mind. I forgot Bjork - Human Behavior and Army of Me (tied) great thread, by the way. Oh yeah...Duran Duran - Rio
Yeah, I highly recommend the trilogy of DVD's put out by Palm of Chris Cunningham, Spike Jonze, and Michel Gondry... amazing how most of the videos that have stuck in my mind were directed by them. It's a shame they don't have ALL the videos they have made... but it'll keep you happy. Prodigy's Smack My I FART A LOT Up has probably the greatest ending... I remember watching it at midnight-ish for the first time and i was like, hey... there's boobies on TV
Forgot about smack my I FART A LOT up, good call. btw, I dont listen to marylin manson, I just thought the video made fun of Gangsta rap videos and had hot chicks in it.
^ unfortunately, I don't think he was making fun of them. It was kind of more like his version of one. I do think he's involved in making some of the better vids out there though...beautiful people, sweet dreams, coma white, etc.
Fave video ever, aside from all videos by Devo. 1979 The Flying Lizards- Money http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtRkztckzkU&mode=related&search= The Stranglers- Dutchess (all Stranglers vids for that matter!)
I have the vinyl single of the Flying Lizard's "Money" - bought it when it came out (forgot all about it - thanks for reminding me!).
usually i think older videos sorta suck.. but this one is dope! I love youtube here's some others I like eels-last stop this town (because I like singing carrots) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8hyCWH1Ww0 massive attack - teardrop (because I like singing fetuses) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfp45lGemWc Blur- Coffee and TV (because I like dancing milk cartons) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYJOF8drAkw Bjork - It's Oh So Quiet (because I like dancing mailboxes) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8Z1MpcyqQU Basement Jaxx - Where's your head at (because I like singing monkeys) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Er6Qa-04j4
