Heres my 3 favourites:

1. Michael Jackson - Black or White

2. Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice

3. Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer

Aphex Twin-Windowlicker

UNKLE-Rabbit in your headlights

Aphex Twin-Come To Daddy

LOL! slh - I got to admit i love the video to Windowlicker, makes me laugh out loud everytime i see it. Especially the beginning with the 2 guys argueing in the car!!

The uncut version of the video to Holly Valance's Kiss Kiss, for obvious reasons...

I know Sidla doesn't think she's all that but meh, each to their own.

Alternatively I'd go for the video to Meatloaf's I would do anything for love (but I won't do that).... Not only is it one of THE best music vids EVER, it's also probably one of the longest...

Not in order.

Take on Me - A-Ha
Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Thriller - Michael Jackson
Buddy Holly - Weezer
Learn to Fly - Foo Fighters
Novermber Rain - Guns N Roses
Billy Jean - Michael Jackson
Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel

Tenacious D - Tribute

Its good, but i think the fact everyone likes it so much is because its rarely shown so you don't get too sick of it. There are far too many outlets for videos that after a few weeks your so tired of it you'd rather die than sit through another showing, 'Californiacation' being a good example of this.

Also:-

Beastie Boys - Sabotage

A lot of Spike Jonze's music videos have been great.

Chris.

:thumbsup: Muse: Sing for Absolution

For me, it's gotta be:

Michael Jackson - Thriller
Guns n' Roses - November Rain

I agree, this is a good one.

Two of my all time favourites...

Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer

Michael Jackson's Thriller

They don't seem to make good videos anymore... Although I did quite like the video for Danger High Voltage!

Oh yes! Laughed me socks off:)

Does anyone know of a place where you can watch music videos online, apart from launch (http://music.uk.launch.yahoo.com/) ?

Found
this (http://virtualvideos.net/) on Google that might interest you :)

The link just diverts you to a search engine. Can't find anything in it.

Byork - All is full of love
White Stripes - The lego video, dont know the song

Three of my many, many faves -

Boogie Pimps - Someone To love : Sky diving babies and a nubile young lady in lingerie - what more could anyone want!

Gunter And The Sunshine Girls - The Ding Dong Song : Yes really - a fab 70s porn pastiche

Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up : And not just for being banned!

I liked a video by Bjork where she was in the dentist... really scary one! I don't remember which song it was though... might be Army Of Me ??

What's that Frank Zappa one with the claymation that goes on for 20-30 minutes? It's really good but I've only seen it a couple of times.

Nomme

BRITNEY - TOXIC

or

HOLLY VALLANCE - KISS KISS

phhhhhwwwwwooooooooorrrrrrrr

:D :D :D :P :P :P :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ;) ;)

I love Britney!! I watch all her videos with the sound turned off.

that would be 'Fell in Love with a Girl' and is one of my favourites.

In fact, most white stripes videos are good.

Blurry by Puddle of Mudd is a good emotive video and Big Me by Foo Fighters is a good spoof video.

That's from the film Baby Snakes. And the claymation was by a bloke called Bruce Bickford.

EvildrNeil, The Boogie Pimps video is great! I knew the song but couldn't remember the name of the group. As you can imagine, when the video is played all other thoughts go out the window.

This is going in best and worst music video.,..its that bad and cheesey that it's bloody amazing

Lionel Richie - Hello

Im sure you've all seen it, if not, it's a must.

Yes that one is quite horrific, I love Blink 182 all the small things-I still laugh after 4 years when I watch it

Has to be........

No One Knows - QOTSA... Lovely Josh Homme being tied up by a deer :D
Daydream - I Monster... Inspired use of a Barbie doll, makes me laugh every time I see it :thumbsup:
Weapon of Choice - Fatboy Slim... Shake that fine ass Mr Walken I salute ya! :cool:

I have been known to select Weapon of Choice 3 times simultaneously on the juke box in Cav :roll: it never gets old!!!

Praise U - fatboy slim, still makes me laugh, mainly because me and my friends dance like that and when the video first came out, we were annoyed because they stole our dancing!

A few of Radiohead's vidoes are good, daft punk's around the world, very clever.

Aphex twin do good videos, although some people find them disturbing.

That Kylie one where she walks round and round and under ladders, then there's 2 of her, then 3 and so on. I don't particularly like her, but that vid was good.

Any Duran Duran 'classic' eg Wild Boys, New Moon on Monday, Union of the Snake.

Any Adam Ant 'classic' eg Prince Charming, Stand & Deliver

Ha! Old.... ;)

one you ve said already, but its fantasic: tenacious d- tribute! i think this wqas the first one i really laughed about...
then the new phantom planet video, this with the zombies, its so sweet....
and the video from winson-was macht eigentlich peter? i dont like mostly german bands who acctually sing german, but this one is funny, but you need to understand the lyrics....

and the best stylish video, its not because its so extra ordanary, but i think everything is right in there: beatsteaks- hand in hand!

Metallica's "One" the full version. It's dark and twisted!

A few of you have mentioned that your favorite videos are by a french Director called Michel Gondry.
There is a dvd of his finest work out which you can get at Fopp at a reasonable price.
Amongst the videos he has directed are :-
Around the world -- Daft Punk
Protection--- Massive Attack
Fell In love with a girl---- White stipes
Army of me ------ Bjork
Let forever be--- Chemical Brothers
Human Behaviour-- Bjork
The Hardest Button to button--- White Stripes.
Come into my world-----kylie
Like a rolling stone--- Rolling Stones

Some of the Aphex Twins ones are quite brilliantly gruesome.

Marilyn Mansons Beautiful People and Fight Song videos are pretty cool

I always loved Meatloaf's Deadringer For Love video LOL thats just unintentional High comedy.. I particularly loved his dead hard gang with pastel colour cap sleeve shirts and mullet hair do's

or OR

one of my fave bands, Judas Priest's, FANTASTIC Breaking the Law video.. where the goons hold up a bank with their guitars as guns.. classic.

If I had to pick my own personal favourite it would have to be Dave lee Roth's Just A Gigalo video.. love it to death.

Yeah. . . Chemical Brothers. . . Let forever be. . . that red head in the vid is suuuper fine!!!

Also another lesser known chemical brothers video is Star Guitar. .

Its the one with the train journey. . . its just awesome. . . :)

The Chemical Brothers 'Star Guitar' is a top video! every beat is synchronised with an object outside the train window - excellent.:thumbsup:

This is some blurb on the Michel Gondry DVD

THE WORK OF DIRECTOR MICHEL GONDRY

Michel Gondry is currently one of the most acclaimed and respected music video directors in the industry. Gondry got his start while studying graphics at a French art school when he began directing videos for the band Oui Oui, for which he played drums. The clips' success attracted other local bands, and it wasn't long before he was working internationally.
In 1993 Gondry met pop singer Bjork, commencing one of his longest and most successful professional creative relationships. Their first collaboration, the video for "Human Behavior," won practically every existing music video award. Gondry went on to helm another five of Bjork's videos, including "Joga" and "Bachelorette," while also collaborating with wide-ranging artists such as The Rolling Stones, Beck, Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers, Foo Fighters, Lenny Kravitz, Sheryl Crow and Cibo Matto.
One of his first spots, Levi's "Drugstore" (1994), garnered the Lion D'Or at Cannes and is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most award-winning commercial of all time. Among his other notable credits are Levi's "Mermaids," winner of a silver at the Clio Awards and a bronze at Cannes; and Smirnoff's "Smarienburg" (1997), which captured gold medals at Cannes and the Clio Awards. Most recently, Gondry completed a series of spots for Gap's lyrical "That's Holiday" campaign, as well as Levi's "Bellybuttons."
Human Nature, written by Charlie Kaufman and starring Patricia Arquette, Rhys Ifans and Tim Robbins, was released in April of 2002 through Fine Line Pictures, marking the feature film debut of this celebrated music video and commercial director. Gondry began production on his second feature film, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet, in the January 2003.

Doesn't he just! I quite like the drummer meself! I recently downloaded tons of Muse videos...has anyone seen Stockholm Syndrome's vid? Pretty cool. Wonder what the video for Butterflies and Hurricanes will be like.....probably some kind of apocalyptic piano crazyness...

I've just seen Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel on VH 1 and although i'm into dance music both the song n video were good.

Sure this has been mentioned before but wasn't it done by Nick Park of Wallace & Gromit fame? or was that the Housemartins "Happy Hour"? or did he do both?

red hot chili peppers - The Zepha Song

I saw there was a show on tonight on this subject... didn't see it, but here goes...

Hurt - Johnny Cash

I've got a Michel Gondry DVD (I'm a big fan of his work) and it contains lots of featurettes and examples of his work. You can buy it off Amazon.

I have to say, that DVD is inspired! Quality.

The best music video of all time for me (by a long way) is Atmosphere by Anton Corbijn for Joy Division.
