let's name some of the best videos out there...or just the ones we love
so i'll start with RHCP- Otherside, Californication
Incubus- Megalomaniac
Nirvana- Smells like Teen Spirit
or the funny Foo Fighters- Learn to Fly; the classic Pink Floyd- Another Brick in the Wall;
yeah i'm aware these aren't the only ones so you're free to share your opinions...i'm out of ideas at the moment

I have to agree with AAnother Brick In the Wall (but the whole movie of The Wall is great to. Gerald Scarfe's cartoons are incridible) Also rjcp californication and otherside, also that one by Korn... freak on a leash.

Since I listen to music most - and hardly ever watch a video - its a tough one to comment on - but how about Dire Straits - Money for Nothing? Or how about Meatloaf and his epic video's (to go with his epic songs!)

I'd watch a Bon Jovi video over and over again just for Jon Bon Jovi - I can't imagine why! :P

Heh me neither :S

The dire straits one is a good call -groundbreaking in it's day - of course bohemien rhapsody should get a mention as well.

i think we have to appreciate the producers' efforts
the truth, however, is that music videos are just instruments used to "procure" fans all over the world through television, that already "kills" people's minds

anyways, if they're really good, they could be considered "pieces of art".
and why don't you face it? rock music was ruined by people...maybe by those that you consider your idols...they made the videos, videos didn't appear just like that...we all know what their purpose is, though
and another thing, i can't listen well to music while watching a video, so i listen to it again, separately...the video doesn't change the music at all...it just makes that band more popular, which is the problem; some videos have a message...c'mon! you can't say you don't like music videos...it's like saying you don't like movies...even movies made after a book can be good (that happens rarely, though, like only one in a million..)

I don't watch music videos

Possibly because we don't have any good channels, only mtv and the likes, or possibly because I dont care anyway, its the music that matters to me. It's like adding pictures to a brilliant book - interesting to look at, but complelety unnecessary

The music, the concept, the cover, all came together. For me, it was the first time we'd had great lyrics. David Gilmour on Dark Side Of the Moon.
