So what is the best music video of all time?

[perks-a-beast]

Yo Kanye. I'm really happy for. I'm gonna let you finish making a fool out of your self but beyonce did NOT have one of the best videos of all time.

Don't get me wrong, i love watching it, and Beyonce is INCREDIBLY sexy but you cant call that one of the best videos of ALL TIME.

So that got me thinking...What is the best music video of all time?

A few that come to mind:

Thriller by Michael Jackson (obviously)and more by Michael
Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
The Real Slim Shady by Em
Jeremy by Pearl Jam
Gangstas Paradise by Coolio
Float On by Modest Mouse
Sabotage by the beastie boys
take on me by A-Ha
Cult Of Personality by Living Colour
Give It Away by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Mo Money Mo Problems by Biggie
Need You Tonight by INXS (still love that one, ha)

People always say november rain

[ChampKind]

Paranoid Android - Radiohead
November Rain
Sabotage
Weapon of Choice - Fatboy Slim
Most of Peter Gabriel's crazy crap
A little respect - Erasure

One of my favorite's has always been God Lives Underwater's From Your Mouth.  Really simple, single shot camera work, for whatever really I always thought it was really cool.

Any of Chris Cunningham's stuff is usually really cool but pretty weird too.

Come on Over - Christina Aguilera

Thriller #1 by far. Practically invented the modern music video


Losing my Religion by REM

When the Beatles came out with Free as a Bird and Real Love I cried seeing those 4 guys so young dancing around knowing two of them will die relatively young and tragic deaths

Cry me a River by Justin Timberlake where he goes in Britney's house

I like Dani California by RHCP

A lot of stuff by the Smashing Pumpkins like Disarm

I kinda like Mary Jane by Tom Petty

I found that Aerosmith often made videos I wanted to watch for songs that were so so like Crazy with Alicia Silverstone and Liz Tyler

One of Us by Joan Osborne

That one with Madonna where she's like "Express yourself. Don't repress yourself" but I can't think of the name of the song.

A lot of those early Beatles things in Help. Those are music videos.

I thought Heart Shaped Box was weird and scary, but the song is awesome.

I liked What a Man by Salt and Peppa

This is an awesome thread

  I like the ones on youtube with highlights of Larry Bird and music in the background.

7 ) Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
8 ) Weapon of Choice - Fatboy Slim

I love how RHCP did Dani California, paying tribute to the artists that gave them inspiration to be who they are.
