Classic Music Videos

[Motterman]

What are some of the Classic Music Videos from over the last 25-30 years?

I'll throw one out there to get it started:

Shock the Monkey - Peter Gabriel

[Glenwood Lane United]

Street of Dreams by Rainbow.

I like Weezer's "Buddy Holly" video.

Radiohead's video for "Just" is interesting, as are most of theirs.

One- U2

There are a few versions of this video, I'm speaking of the one that got played on MTV, etc.

[Spartak]

I think "Karma Police" is by far Radiohead's best video.

[La China Poblana]

"Save a Prayer" - Duran Duran. Filmed in Sri Lanka. Could they have got the point across without going all the way to Sri Lanka? I think so.
"Enjoy the Silence" - Depeche Mode. Lovely.
"This is How it Feels" - Inspiral Carpets. One of my 120 Minutes favorites.
"No Worries" - Hepcat. Perfectly sums up the band's vibe.
"Home" - Naked Raygun. Because seeing them on MTV was almost unbelievable.

Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer
Nine Inch Nails - Closer
Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity
Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up
Pearl Jam - Jeremy
Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees, Fade Out, Paranoid Android
a-Ha - Take On Me
Duran Duran - Hungry Like The Wolf, Wild Boys

Remember when they used to show music videos on TV? :cool:

[servotron]

Ha, I was going to nominate Take On Me as well.

Also you can't beat "You Might Think" by The Cars for 80's wackiness. Where that fly is going around landing on people with Rick Ocasek's head on it.

Daft Punk - Around the World
Chemical Brothers - Let Forever Be
Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood
Lauryn Hill - Doo ****** (That Thing)
Michael Jackson - Thriller and Smooth Criminal (Ok it was from the Moonwalk Video, but I loved the Smooth Criminal part)

"Enjoy the Silence" - Depeche Mode. Lovely.


indeed, the video for Strangelove is a fave of mine as well. Actually, almost all DM videos and songs are favorites of mine. :D

I was thinking of that one as well. It's almost impossible to come up with just one.

"Hurt" - Johnny Cash
"Freak on a Leash" - Korn

There should also be a category for great video, crappy song. My vote for that would be "Right Now" by Van Halen

Daft Punk - Around the WorldAhhh...Michel Gondry. The man can do no wrong. Throw in, from him:
"Fell in Love with a Girl" - White Stripes
"Human Behavior" - Bjork

And let's not forget the Spike Jonze classics:
"Sabotage" - The Beastie Boys
"Drop" - The Pharcyde

I was going to mention "Human Behavior" as well, but thought I'd listed enough. When I saw "Fell in Love With a Girl" the first time, I was sure it was the coolest video I'd ever seen. Pretty much anything Spike Jonze does is cool.
