many ppl wuld think 2days videos lack the creativity and sparkle that old videos possess, but have seen a video made recently that u really rated? whats ur view?

For me, it was Meatloaf's 'I would do anything for love (but I won't do that)' That just did something for me that no video ever has.

Noobs.

It's obviously Paul Simon, You can Call me Al.

That videos genius.

He does it like a talkie.

It's awesome.

I'm listening to it next.

That was a good one, I don't much care for Chevy Chase, though.

Kind of old, but still..."One" by Metallica

I still hold All the Small Things close to my heart, but Whats my Age Again...for obvious reasons

I don't watch many videos, but I have those two on DVD.

Don't like nor do I have an appreciation for music videos. I find music videos to be thieves, robbing people of their imaginations.

well i do enjoy all the videos with sexy female singers in them, oh yeah

but on a serious note a prefer the simple, not over the top videos, but i don't have a favourite, well not that i can think of right now

But You can Cal me Al is genius. That'll teach all the modern videos. Fools.

It really was Bohemian Rhapsody that started it all off, wasn't it? The craze, I mean.

Bohemion rapshody hasn't got anything on You can Call me Al.

Bohemian Rhapsody is a very wonderful video, if you consider the year in which it was made.

Any way, it is like the best song ever.

No, its got nothing on the video 'You can call me al'.

I also love Pretty Fly for a White Guy by The Offspring video. Very funny.

Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel was awesome! It is one that stays with you.

I've always liked the Tool music videos.

My fav video:

1) "One" by Metallica: This video is awesome. I still remember the part where the dude says to the nurse "kill me, kill me!" and the ending was just AMAZING.

The video for "passive" by a perfect circle is great...

check it out sometime...

LBD

River Below-Billy Talent
It was such a great video.The little girl skating around on her shooter then they open up the garage and start playing.
Then the crazy guy blows up an atomic bomb.

Michael Jackson's "Thriller"!

Because I like to watch horror movies and I also like Vincent Price.

^^ Thriller is definitely one of the best music videos ever.

Other music videos I really like are David Bowie's 'Thursday's Child', Smashing Pumpkins' 'Tonight Tonight' and Queens of the Stone Age's 'Go With the Flow'.

Smashing Pumpkins Tonight tonight is an AWESOME music video, one of my favorites...

Right now, I cant exactly think of one music video i like, now, its just either people standing in a parking lot playing loud power chords or scantily clad woman lip synching to their crappy, talentless songs

Notorious BIG - Hypnotize ... action thriller video.

Michael Jackson - Thriller (obvious best)

Tool - Parabol(a)

'Tonight, Tonight' is a classic, beautiful video. Another one of my favorites is 'Nemo' by Nightwish. Dark Tranquillity's 'Monochromatic Stains' video is cool in a bizzare kind of way...

The Beautiful People's one rocks.

mine is now red Hot Chilli peppers Bani California.

I liked Dire Straits "Money For Nothing"... but some of those others ya'll mentioned are pretty good (Sledgehammer, Thriller) Faith No More's "Epic" was pretty cool too...

Edit: Yeah, thinking about it, Metallica's "One", Slayer's "Seasons in the Abyss", and Megadeth's "Hangar 18" were pretty dang cool also...

And the J. Giles Band

oo oo... and that one that's half black and white drawing, like by the police or phil collins or something... I forget what it's called... he like goes through a mirror to get to this pencil drawing of a chick... was a cool video...

That was a-ha's "Take On Me"

Lol

They were HOT....

Thriller, of course...and that a-ha's take on me...I always wanted to be that girl

Great video & great band!

The Verves "Bittersweet Symphony" is wicked....just the singer walking down the sidewalk, not giving a damn about everything, haha.

Twilight Zone Golden Earring
Smuggler's Blues Glenn Frey
Can't Let You Go-Rainbow
No One Like You-Scorpions

Adam Ant

Rage Against The Machine-Sleep Now In The Fire-they just started playing in wall street and shut down the bank early.

Marilyn Manson-Coma White-Where he redreates the kennedy assanination

'Fix You' by Coldplay.

All of the TOOL music vids... they aren't just music vids, they are art. A huge amount goes into them, and they all have some symbolic meaning... check'em out at toolshed.down.net if ya don't beleive me...

ALEX JONES RULES!!!

Definately "Highway Star" by Deep Purple...the song is groovy and the video is constantly all psychedelic looking and keeps changing, even though they just show the band playing.

Good heavy metal lacks a large ammount of music videos that are anything more than the band playing in a weird setting. I'd say some of my favorite videos would be Bathory: "One Road to Asa Bay", Kamelot: "March of Mephisto", and Dragonforce's "Through the Fire and Flames". Not that the DF video has a whole lot of amazing visual appeal, but it gave me an even better grasp of how complicated the guitar pieces are for that song. Also, the solo part was just so cool to watch.

Exactly... music vids focus too much on the bands... that's why i love TOOL's music vids; because the band isn't in it, so we focus more on the art used in it...

I actually think the band should be in most music videos, but they shouldn't be the entire focus of it. One example of a decent music video was Nevermore's "Final Product". It has the band playing so you get a sense of the technical applications and the way the music is presented, this for me helps me connect with the music more. But also, it has some activity representing one way of viewing the song (the dude in the cave-like place). My opinion-I have my own way of visualising the song. A music video is just something cool to watch when you're bored.


All right-done hyjacking the topic.

I still enjoy working out to MJ thriller video - the rythm matches my stepper pace nicely

Thriller was a creepy video back in the day!

hmm....does the entire fil "The Song Remains the Same" count as a music video? because if it does thats the one

I love that one!

Definitely White Snake's "Here I go Again"

Strawberry Fields Forever is the Best

It was among the very first purpose-made concept videos that attempt to "illustrate" the song in an artful manner.

I thought AFI's vid for "girls not grey" was a good video. with the girl going into another world and becoming an anime girl with a giant head.

Damian Marley - Welcome to Jamrock

"Silver & Cold" + "Days of the Phoenix" are much better AFI videos.
