Personally, I've always liked the videos that sorta tell a story. The 80's seemed to be the advent of music videos, and instead of being just a fad, they were here to stay. Now we have entire channels devoted to just music videos. Below are some of my favorites: [YT="A-Ha - Take On Me"]RMWXyEHoN88[/YT] [YT="Guns 'n' Roses - November Rain"]siBoLc9vxac[/YT] [YT="Michael Jackson - Thriller"]AtyJbIOZjS8[/YT] [YT="Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends"]5EEg2p-By5g[/YT] Post yours.
[YT="Massive Attack - Teardops"]fG8eQBSp9Ao[/YT] [YT="Muse - Knights Of Cydonia"]G_sBOsh-vyI[/YT] [YT="Badly Drawn Boy - Pissing the wind"]qj44stHz49g[/YT] [YT="Queens Of The Stone Age - Go With The Flow"]9nz6Rq1Pvh0[/YT]
This one always makes me think of the armed forces in Afhanistan and Iraq and the long tours they make... [YT="3 Doors Down - When I'm Gone: with Navy Footage"]7GYXm7n62nU[/YT] [YT="Robert Palmer - Addicted To Love"]F0U5JfGYx4c[/YT] [YT="Anouk - Lost"]miBHxNzlw6w[/YT] [YT="Anouk - One Word"]0gfPtaY9Wc4[/YT] [YT="Bastian - You've got my love"]8cWL89fjfUU[/YT] [YT="Justice - D.A.N.C.E"]fo_QVq2lGMs[/YT]
[YT="ZZ Top - Legs"]yNvOPN1LoQ4[/YT] [YT="ZZ Top - Gimme All Your Lovin'"]5VAavDlZIy8&feature=related[/YT] [YT="The Cars - You Might Think"]c8oZZJojROo[/YT] [YT="Tom Petty - Don't Come Around Here No More"]a7gWzWqJu1k[/YT] [YT="Tom Petty - I Won't Back Down"]yHJMp5bz9u8&feature=related[/YT] [YT="Five For Fighting - 100 Years"]NmoE8_U-JTw[/YT] [YT="Oingo Boingo - Dead Man's Party"]iypUpv9xelg[/YT] [YT="The Eurythmics - Missionary Man"]58AoZzO8lzI[/YT] [YT="Traveling Willburys - End Of The Line"]nSL4Eqpm9l4[/YT]
[yt="Queens of the Stone Age : 3s and 7s"]KUZL2hVUyUE[/yt] [yt="TV on the Radio: Wolf Like Me"]GUB1xSAAADk[/yt] [yt="Foo Fighters: Everlong"]vE5HNnggRx0[/yt]* [yt="Massive Attack: Special Cases"]b4lBST1ySRk[/yt] [yt="Squarepusher: Come on my Selector"]BxEb2FrQUbE[/yt] [yt="Beastie Boys: Sabotage"]-sbqIyeed4g[/yt] [yt="The Prodigy: Smack my Bitch Up"]BW7PHcXwE4s&[/yt] These are all my favourite story driven videos. [yt="Bjork: All Is Full of Love"]EjAoBKagWQA[/yt] That one is just highlighting the sheer genius of Chris Cunningham, but my most favourite, favourite video of all time goes to this.. [yt="Aphex Twin: Windowlicker"]1P3Wc-37pC4[/yt] *The proper Foo Fighters original of Everlong isn't letting me link, so I've used one that is the original video, but a string quartet cover of the song.

Toto: Rosanna. Just because Cynthia Rhodes is the hottest dancer ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gq4ychrRkQA Stevie Nicks' Gypsy, 'cause it's such a cool little fantasy vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56AygasQZx4 Fleetwood Mac: Sarah (Live 1979), 'cause stevie was so freakin cute, and it's a perfect performance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IVCtdQke-w The Who - Won't be Fooled Again from Kids Are All Right. Rock simply doesn't get better than this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rp6-wG5LLqE Heart: Crazy on You live. Nancy's guitar is awesome. Annie is at her sexiest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUE5fc7eiWk Bangles: Eternal Flame. 4 minutes of looking at Susanna Hoffs and a gorgeous song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sxf6Xd75yUo Fleetwood Mac: Landslide (The Chain tour). A pretty song, and the dynamic between the divorcees on stage is wonderful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-4BojWdjRE Til Tuesday - Voices Carry. Very moving song about abuse, and a classic vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zz4pTMN3abw Berlin: Take my Breath Away. I don't care what anybody says, I love this love song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQpPe_xvihA Blondie: Heart of Glass. "Seminal" has so many meanings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUG0GjdoGHE Oh so many more!
I never cared much for music videos, which is strange given that's what the lot of us unknown directors does. But, if I had to choose one? Hm. I've seen this lately and it's good. Never mind the music, tho. That's garbage. From the classics... we already had 'November Rain'. That's brilliant and the song is timeless.
