nice!!!

I love this post, It is not only Out of the box thinking, it took some time and thought to compile! And you had to watch them to make sure they were great! I love most all of the videos in this collection already! Aphex twins are AWESOME! I am glad that you decided to put them in the list, since they don’t usually get mainstream listening, along with some of the others you placed in the list. Great Job!

lol for the last one :D

What about Kanye West’s Heartless? http://vimeo.com/2184757?pg=embed&sec=2184757

No Madonna on this list is blasphemy!

1. Bedtime Stories
2. Rain
3. Ray Of Light
4. Die Another Day
5. Vogue
6. Bad Girl
7. Bedtime Stories (Re-invention Tour version)

And the list goes on and on. All cinematic masterpieces. She’s also partly responsible for discovering and making big new music video talent, as she’s worked with all the greats from Fincher to Romanek to Cunnoingham and Traktor…

Well, I think Radiohead – Paranoid Android video deserves to be here! ;)

Great, this post just let my mac freeze 4 times now inside my feedreader (Vienna). Time to delete the feed, together with your german derivate dr.web. Interesting content is already missing for a long time…

I think, that Special Cases by Massive Attack is worth looking at, too.

All of Tool’s Video’s should be there. Good list, thanks

10. says Pharcycle, it’s Pharcyde. CL = D

This is a great list. I really enjoyed Daft Punk’s animated videos. Good to see them on this list.

Good list, unsmashing page design.

Oh, and RJD2’s Work It Out is very well done as well.

Haha, Ashley, you betray your age and musical influence here. Definitely an Aussie who grew up enjoying Rage, particularly during the 90s. Nice list.

Wow, really stunning! But don’t exaggerate, 60 at once are much^^

please dont every refer to Samwell again :o

Seen most of it before, actually…

Here’s an alternative to “Star guitar”, “Akai densha” by Quruli:

Kraak & Smaak’s “Squeeze me”:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYqaX3QYXZs

Kanye West’s “Flashing lights” also deserves a mention IMHO.

I agree that A Perfect Drug should be up there.

My personally fav music vid is that of Evil Bee by Menomena:

What about Pink Floyd – “The Wall”?

We are an unsigned northern band called Laboratory Noise who release music on our own label and we had a video made for our song ‘You Created A Storm’ by a friend Jon Yeo. It is awsome and can be found here in high quality http://www.virb.com or on our own site here http://www.laboratorynoise.co.uk

There are also lots of other smaller bands around who have their own cool videos and a lot of them are also really good. We managed to get ours on MTV2 after a year of trying!Sorry for the self promotion…

Eh. I can’t believe that forgot about the most beautiful music video of all! :]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDxMQaMqsig

Bjork – Bachelorette – http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=x5nNfbTS6N4

Or any Michel Gondry music video really. He also did the “Daft Punk – Around The World” video in this post.

Long before the Lego videos got tiresome – Ether Real produced this in 1991

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4oloLHqjd8

It was a little known (but I think rather excellent) tune from the ravey/chillout era of the early 90s and I will do whatever I can in my power to have people around the planet finally give this video it’s due respect.

ajd

Nice videos – good to see some aussie bands are up there in the mix!

Tool has only one video on the list??! come on, every tool’s video is piece of art, I think they deserve more

I really, really like the clips that are made for Tool.
They also have great music.

Cool MV. from Thai electronic band.

Acho que faltou “Tonight, Tonight” do Smashing Pumpkins, porém todos os citados acima também são obras de arte.

…

Where are the FEIST videos?

WTF no madonna!

The Faint: Aganda Suicide

Good Vids! Another great video from the Chemical Brothers is “Let Forver Be”.

IMO a-ha’s Take on me is one of the best videos ever.

“Brothers in Arms” by Dire Straits is also made similar to “take on me” with pencils. Great video and amazing music :D

Where is Michael Jackson???????

This one is not only a good song but also a fantastic video

Great list! I love SmashingMagazine! But I would like in the end WATCH these videos!!! My computer hangs when I try to load this (using Firefox in Ubuntu on 3Ghz CPU and 2GB of RAM). I am writing from Vista on a laptop, and it doesn’t hangs, but there’s no sound!!! Could you create a playlist with 60 tags? I’d be thankful.

A fantastic post…. I think that Fatboy Slim – Right here, Right now is also a superb clip

Where is FEIST: 1, 2, 3, 4 ?

Very good list…love every one of Daft Punk’s videos (amazing stuff there)….but one band you didn’t include is Sigur Ros. They have some very beautiful videos, glosoli, and untitled 1 (vaka). Great list nontheless!

Damn, you really listed a lot of my favorite stuff! A pretty thorough job…

The Avalanches love is deserved; they also have “Since I Left You”, which is damn good, and not just
Sledgehammer, but anything and everything by Peter Gabriel is awesome – the man knows how to do videos

Still, you’re only human, and some great stuff got left out. Others already mentioned some of it, like

Feist’s “1 2 3 4″ and
“Squeeze Me” by Kraak & Smaak

but somehow forgot

“Knights of Cydonia” by Muse and
The Go! Team’s “Ladyflash”,

which is odd, since they’re brilliant. I also crawl YouTube for music videos, so let’s see some of my other favorites…

The “Fan Version” of Barenaked Ladies’ “Wind It Up” totally rocks,
“You Can Call Me Al” by Paul Simon is totally cute and funny, and
Futureshock’s “Late At Night” is… odd. Oh, let’s not forget
“she loves the CREAM” by m-flo and DOPING PANDA,

for when you want some anime lovin’. I really don’t know why we don’t see more anime videos, this one shows how good it could be done. Honorary mentions go to:

Hell Yes by Beck
Cold Hands, Warm Heart by Brendan Benson
16 Military Wives by The Decemberists, and last but not least
Let Me Know by Róisín Murphy

Also, Madonna’s videos for the most part aren’t really that good, but Vogue totally is (David Fincher made it, after all)

Most of this stuff is available on YouTube, by the way. I’d put direct links, but how do you hotlink in comments anyway?

Oh, so THAT’s how you hotlink!

Now, how do you edit posts, so I can link the videos in my list? :-)

Glad you included the exceptional vids by Aphex Twin in there!

Be sure to see this sad but beautiful video about loneliness, old age and more at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz_TK8HEne4 … not a high-budget job like some of the bands above but very good nonetheless.
