Can't argue with that one. One word: intense. Damfine job they did on it, too, I still remember my thought patterns the first time I saw it.
"Pyramid Song" is the one that really opened my ears to the new Radiohead. I didn't "get" them until I saw the video for that.
I really like that Sigur Rós one for (
untitled) off the new album.
That Aphex Twin one is awesome (I forget which one I saw, I think it was "Windowlicker").
Some classics that come to mind:
Yes - "Changes" (the one where it's just the five of them standing there, and they do all this photoshop stuff to them; just plain silly fun)
The Cars one, from the same period was a lot of fun, too. "You might think" I think is the name of the song.
There was a Bob Seger one that made fun of all the movie videos, it was scenes from a movie that doesn't exist. And I really wanted to see that movie, too.
I haven't seen "Buddy Holly", "Smack My Bitch Up", or "Just".
"Black Hole Sun" freaked me out.
"Jeremy" -- such dark topic material.
INXS "Beautiful Girl" -- great social commentary. Ditto Devo's "Beautiful World"
The one for "One" by U2 is pretty good. Moving song to begin with, so maybe it's the song more than the video.
Brothers Quay did some videos for a group called "His Name Is Alive" that are as awesome or awesomer than any Tool video (which are often pretty awesome).
Peter Gabriel's videos were great ("Steam", "Sledgehammer", etc.).
Seeing Walken dance for the first time, like...ever was mindblowing at 2am.
I think "Gantz_Graf" is
necessary, I refuse to listen to the song without watching the video (especially since I can).
And, of course, the classic for pubescent boys, "Girls On Film" by Duran Duran (the long version). Also, "The Night Porter" homage, "The Chauffeur" (a very Kraftwerk-esque song, BTW).
