Best music video EVER has to be...

Audioslave's Cochise - near as dammit 4 minutes of 36DD rock and explosions, oh baby.

...or am i forgetting Aerosmith's Crazy? :)

Decider: Admin

Nah man...you got it right...Kick meep video. Almost reminds me of Space Lord, by Monster Magnet...but way cooler, and more T 'n A.

I know I'm up there in years but I saw the first video aired on MTV and it still sticks in my mind as one of the all time greats.

BUGGLES-Video Killed The Radio Star

I always thought Cochise, the song and the video, were terrible. Audioslave, which has some good songs, mostly strikes me as 1/2 watered down rage against the machine with 1/2 watered down soundgarden. I stand by this.

If we're sticking in the audioslave vein, I'd have to offer up Sleep Now in the Fire, which was great in art direction as well as content (shutting down wall street takes meep) though I can't fault sach's picks whatsoever.

I watched the top 65 music videos of 2005 that showed up on the swarm a while ago.

The ones that impressed me most were the Gorillaz, Feel Good Inc music video (yeah I know everybody's seen it and is sick of it) and The Arcade Fire, Neighborhood #3 (Power Out). Still, it's been a while since I've seen a really good music video.

This owns your mom. Really. The sequence at the end is amazing.

I've seen some nice choices here but it's hard to decide. I'll break it down like this:

Best Art Direction: Tool (Adam Jones)-Prison meep

meepiest Videos: Tie Billy Idol-Cradle of Love Chris Isaak-Wicked Game

Best Whack-off Material for a Boy Going through Puberty: ...I really don't know because there were soooo many...

Best Music Video by the Worst Artist: Tie Christina Aquilera-Drrty Britney Spears-Slave It's just hard to decide who sucks worse!

Music videos are pointless and lame, especially in the last decade.

Best videos are from Tool.

I really liked Power Out, the Arcade Fire music video. It really fits the music well.

mineralGod: Aphex Twin : WindowLicker

Chris Cunningham is a god amongst mortals, this video wreaks havoc on your mind and I love every second of it.

Aren't they considered from the last decade?

And Aerosmith with RUN DMC doing "Walk this way"

<span class="post_was_edited">On 2006-06-23 at 00:10:19, Acidburn praised Jejus</span>

I'm with Sachsenpaule on the Prodigy video, UK version. Smack My meep up

One that wasn't mentioned here that I also really like is Everlong by Foo Fighters. Everlong

dent: Music videos are pointless and lame, especially in the last decade. Best videos are from Tool.

I agree on both points. And I love the facts that they're never (overtly) in their videos, well not since hush anyway.

Best non-Tool music video hsa got to be Refused - New Noise. It's interesting, really well shot, and suits the song perfectly.

Any video from the Chili Peppers is meeping amazing. No one does videos like them. They meeping rock.

HAHAHA

unkle "eye for an eye" http://youtube.com/watch?v=dr6fUQCwwng

a rare balance between aesthetic appeal and underlying meaning, not to mention no small amount of allegorical reference to contemporary issues (ie war)

i like devo videos.

This one isn't the best ever but it certainly is the best mashup I've seen.
