Favourite Music Video.

[Mr.Magnetichead]

Be it for its style, its content, its director or for the song itself.

Would music videos have hit you like a truck and dragged you along for the ride?


Id have to go for:


Bjork - All is full of love.

Tool - Parabol/Parabola

All the tool videos are excellent but this one just had that bit more, plus it was ten minutes long.

And

Aphex Twin - Come to daddy

Any Tool music video...and there are some really nice Smashing Pumpkins videos as well...dunno much more than that, as I dislike most of the mainstream music...
I guess the music is what really makes me like a music video or not -- not how good it actually looks.

As for live music videos (meaning full concerts), I'd have to say that Yes' "Symphonic Live" beats the crap out of everything I've ever seen before, when it comes to live videos. Great concert, great songs...

tool vieos in general are pretty badass.

my style and music wise favorite is pain - end of the line, though.

[N D Hill]

"Somebody Someone" and "Make me Bad" by Korn and "Do the Evolution" by Pearl Jam.

[bytemap]

can't remember anything off hand, but bjork all is full of love hit me hard when i saw it.

but then again, i think she is HOT:D and her music is phenominal

[motorowl]

A Perfect Circle - Judith ( i think it's directed by David Fincher )

[kaini]

Fatboy Slim - Praise You

[Wizard of KOZ]

I'd have to say the video for "Last Cup of Sorrow" by Faith No More. It was based....on the Alfred Hitchcock movie Vertigo..a fav flick of mine.

[Clodhopper]

This is easy. Rammstien - Sonne, I didn't know it before whatching it, but aparently i definatley have a thing for 9 foot tall weman dressed like snow white. -and its a cool music video.

[Manta_Ray]

Easy. "Wheres your head at" by Basement Jaxx. Had to be four of the most scary minutes that Ive ever watched a video. Aphex Twin...mmmm scary too.

[Jason Manley]

both aphex twin and tool vids kick ass...

anybody better than that? looks like art to me...smells like art to me...well damn, IT is art to me!

well, i've only seen it one time, i'm not a radiohead-fan or something, i don't even think the song itself is very good... but the video for "rabbit in your headlight" is the best piece of music television i have ever seen in my entire life. i thought about downloading it i think i would watch it too often and it could lose this feeling i got from it.
great video. i'd really like to see that one again.

[wes9000]

just about anything directed by michel gondry or chris cunningham is good

[Lono]

YES! Last cup of sarrow is my fav aswell! jenifer jason leigh all betty paged out... Sexelent.... Mike Patton is pretty funny too. i had to buy the video comp to get that one.
i love Vertigo,,, i love Patton,,, i love Jenifer Jason Leigh..
good video.

and,, oh my shit,, The Aphex Twin video for Windowlicker made me laugh so hard that i reccomend wearing a daiper if your gonna watch it. the violent laughter may cause your bowels to release. another video i had to purchase.

Spumco did a couple of funny videos. Bjork and Tenacious D i do believe. more joy..

im pretty out of date with videos though since i dont watch TV.

you can watch those aphex twin videos and other videos by chris cunningham here : http://www.director-file.com/cunningham/
the video for afrika bambaataa is one of my favorites...also the commercials for nissan and playstation.
he's also working on a film version of Neuromancer right now...that should be pretty cool


tarsem singh(dir. of The Cell) has done some really cool videos too.... the REM "losing my religion" video and a video for Deep Forest. i really like his lighting and staging...great stylist

i was interning in a broadcast company a while back and had the Director Reels of all these guys at hand...so i just watched tons and tons of awesome videos and commercials...gondry, cunningham, finchers, ilm's, etc...there were probably a thousand reels
