Your Favourite Music Video Clips

Submitted by souri on Thu, 11/12/2003 - 3:08pm

What are your favourite music video clips? I don't generally watch any of the music video shows, but there have been some absolutely brilliant video clips I've seen on Rage at times. Here are a list of my all time favourites.

[url="http://www.sva.edu/salon/salon_10/artwork.php?artwork=66"]Bjork, All is full of Love[/url] - by Chris Cunningham. This is my favourite video clip of all time, and I'm sure all of you would love it too. It's won so many awards as well. Great android design, nice set, and it all fits great with the song.. I think Chris Cunningham spent about a year working with Stanley Kubrick on the android designs in A.I (which I'm sure you know Spielberg took over later on when Kubrick passed away).. [url="http://www.sumea.com.au/simagesmisc/bjork.jpg"]Here's a pic of Bjork as an android[/url]...

Aphex Twin, Come to Daddy - another clip by Chris Cunningham. Great directing and photography, and it's an interesting clip. To sum it up, an old lady and her dog stumbles onto a tv in the 'burbs which strangely flickers on.. then some children run a riot past her (all of whom have the same head model on - it's quite a bizzare but great imagery), grab the tv, terrorise some guy in a car, then take it to a room where an evil being morphs out of the screen.. I think MTV in America stopped showing this clip because it was too bizarre and evil. [:)]

Leftfield, afrika shox - Ok, another clip by Chris Cunningham. Most of his clips border on strange or bizarre subjects, and this is another one of them.. The clip has a paranoid kinda guy running running through a city, and bits of him break off. [:)] I won't list anymore of the video clips by Chris, since he's done so many good ones. He has a DVD out with lot of his video clips and commentary if you want to check it out.

Roykson, Remind Me - All graphic designers love this music clip. It's an animated sequence on a persons day from waking up till finishing work. Lots of isometric artwork, industrial diagram-like pictures/animated sequences, and stuff in the style of the airline safey pictures you see in Fight Club.

[url="http://www.inmusicwetrust.com/articles/62e06.html"]Enon, In this city[/url] - Designers will love this one too. Made by the same people who did the Queens of the Stoneage clip (forgot the song, but the clip has them playing on a truck/car, on a highway through the desert.. flat colours, lots of psychadelic imagery)

Gorillaz, Clint Eastwood - Most of you would have seen this one. Nice animation.

REM - Ok, I don't know the song name, but it's the clip where the band is singing at some pool party. There's tonnes of people everywhere, and the clip forwards, rewinds, zooms up close to people - and their mouths will match with the words sung in the song. Ingenius - no idea how they did it. [:)]

[url="http://www.mill.co.uk/engage_search_articles.php?id=1331"]Radiohead, Go to Sleep[/url] - Great clip. They just scanned Tom Yorke singing in 3D. No touching up whatsoever, so you get a tonne of bad edges, but hey, it doesn't matter because it all looks very arty. [:)] Lots of crashing 3d buildings too.

Junior Senior, Move your feet. Love the pixel art animation!!

Street Spirit - Radiohead. Black and white, speeding up and down in time while other parts of the clip in normal time.

Beastie Boys, You gotta fight (for your right to party) or whatever it was called. Just a really corny cool clip.

Radiohead, that cartoon one where he plays table tennis with the angel. This was just a whacked out clip.

Any flim clip with the scantily clad ladies isn't bad either.
CYer, Blitz

All the Tools videos - Adam Jones (the guitarist) is just a heck of an artist, and he worked on Terminator 2 also.

Some of the White Stripes videos are cleverly shot, like the lego one, or the one where they zoom repeatively into each other with that red white and black theme, or the latest one where they leave all the instruments everywhere... They're not brilliant, but they're good.

I also like a fair few of the Chemical brothers videos, especially the new one "Get yourself high"...

Aphex Twin of course... all of their stuff rox0rz my jox0rz.

Electric Six - Gay Bar... thats the best clip ever if you ask me. Its the funniest thing you'll ever see.

Atari Teenage Riot - Revolution Action. Destroy 2000 years of culture is also damn good, but its impossible to find.

Daft Punk - Around the World... *dances*

Glassjaw - Cosmopolitan Blood Loss... pissed off looking guy strutting and being mean to everyone.

Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams.

Primus - Winonas Big Brown Beaver... COWBOYS!!!

Presidents of USA - Peaches... NINJAS!!!

Prodigy - Babys got a Temper. Mmmmmm.

Ween - Push the lil Daisies... cool retard hat. Also Freedom of '76 for just being weird.

Rollins Band - Liar.

Smashing Pumpkins - Ava Adore... for being artsy and cleverly shot.

Ohgr - Minus... Has Nivek Ogre from Skinny Puppy... who nobody will know or understand. [:P]

I would have to say any Cannibal Corpse clip. They look like they have just grabbed their mates, an old black and white video camera, and gone to work! :)

Also the first Cradle of Filth clip (From the Cradle* to Enslave) was good, with deformed midgets (sorry, height disadvantaged), amputees and daemons with large phalluses everywhere. Great stuff! Hanging out for the new Dimmu clip though... :)

*Replace 'Cradle' with 'Sellout'

Not every single one [;)].. most pop music videos are pretty generic and forgettable. I'm talking about the video clips that are like shortfilm, and are works of art in their own right - and in some cases are a lot more interesting than the music they're promoting.
If you haven't seen it already, try and get a look at that Bjork video clip!

And yeh, Radiohead and Aphex Twin have the strangest and most interesting video clips. Another cool video clip is Judith by A Perfect Circle. It's directed by David Fincher (Seven, Fightclub). Very grungy effects, like what you see in the opening to the movie Seven.

Benny Benassi - Satisfaction ?? There were two versions of that. One with the group standing still and mouthing the words while a lot of design effects were happening.. and then there's that other one with the females in bikinis with powertools. [;)]

At the moment I'd agree with Inglis, that video clip is excellent! And the Chemical Brothers: Get yourself high.

Firstly you got to love wayne statics hair. This video clip starts of with all of them frozen and one by one they come to life. But that is about it. Nothing to fancy but i love it.

The new Powderfinger music clip is okay. Like a mix between Samuri Jack and Dragon Ball Z. When I was a kid I used to love the clay animation music clip "three little pigs" (sorry I forget the band).
