What do you think is the best music video? (1 Viewer)

[Blu]

I was watching Johnny Cash's Hurt and it lead me to wonder what is the best music video out there.

I'd say this one is near the top.
One of my favs is also Metallica's One.

The Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" is still tops in my books.

[John Milton]

a-ha's "Take On Me"

 

[Thomas_Berg]

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication
A-HA - Take on Me
Korn - Freak on a Leash
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

Any of Tool's videos...take your pick

 

[Leif Wall]

The new White Stripes video is quite visually appealing. Bjork has some great stuff as well. Gotta rank Beck up there too.

 

[Colin Jacobson]

Bowie's long-form "Jazzin' For Blue Jean" - nothing gets any better than it!

 

[Ken Seeber]

Roy Orbison's "Drove All Night" video stars Jennifer Connelly looking her best, so that's hard to beat. The video single of it is virtually the last VHS tape I own.

 

[John Watson]

I wish it was possible to get decently edited compilations of favorite music videos. :frowning:

 

[Dominik Droscher]

Two that come to mind:
Radiohead's Karma Police
R.E.M.'s Loosing my Religion

 

[Dominik Droscher]

Oh, and Smashing Pumpkins' Tonight, Tonight and Ava Adore

 

[Rachael B]

I like's Fred Shneider & the Shake Society's MONSTER.

 

[Mike Broadman]

Agree with the Tool videos. Eerie stuff.

Thriller is still the best, though.

 

[RobBenton]

My vote goes for ah ha's "take on me"

 

[Ben_wood]

Judging from the number of votes Ah-Ha has received, I bet that I'm not the only person who wishes that he had recorded full VHS tapes of 80's era MTV to view now. The old videos are the best in my opinion. Two of my favorites are:

1) "Shock the Monkey"
2) " You've Got Another Thing Coming"

 

[Leif Wall]

You can find some rare videos online. I download them all the time and make them into VCDs. The worst video of all time is the Chicago Bears - Superbowl Shuffle.

 

[JonZ]

Megadeths "Anarchy in The USA" with the animated chicken blasting Ronald Reagan with a machine gun.

 

[Scott L]

The easy answers:

1) Thriller
2) Smooth Criminal

 

[Tim Markley]

Any of Tool's videos...take your pick

Exactly what I was going to say.
