Still censored though. Wink One of my very favorite songs from the 80's regardless. Interestingly, I think the extended version was the one played on mtv(I could very well be wrong though).

This one’s really funny. David Cross & Bob Odenkirk (of Mr. Show) help out in this video making fun of how YLT are often accused of being unexciting performers. So they get sent to “Rock School” or something. Love it.

Not really keen on the music, but I loved the rich animated imagery in this video:



Then here's the music video for The Nature of Things by Herbert Bail Orchestra which tells a story. Much of it is without music and acts as a short film/music video.



I don't watch a lot of music videos, but my favourites would be ones that tell a story, have interesting aesthetics, and I am inclined towards the surreal. I'm not as keen on the ones which have the musicians just playing their instruments in it. I like those often which feel cinematic.

One I liked as child was The Police's Synchronicity II which has a cheesy Mad Max quality about it.

This one is interesting:



A favourite of mine was Air's Cherry Blossom Girl, which I found poignant (and rather depressing). It is age restricted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO7WNYUIvho" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO7WNYUIvho

David Lynch has directed many music videos, this is one I liked done for Moby:



And The Big Dream:



Sorry, so many videos that I know page load will be difficult for some.

A simple but wonderfully effective early video from Bob Dylan in 1965. Hell, it's even got beat poet Allen Ginsberg hanging out in the background. To top it off, the cue cards were written by Dylan, Ginsberg, folk singer Bob Neuwirth, and Donovan, of all people.

Maybe it's just me, but I think most of these metal bands and videos look pretty much the same. If you see a still from the video before you click on it, you can almost tell how it is going to sound.

My favourite music video might actually be "Heroes" by David Bowie (and not "Ashes to Ashes"). Because it is minimalistic, and yet it does express a hell lot of emotion. I think that Bowie was one of the relatively few artists who really made the format work, probably because of his acting abilities.

Most music videos today seem to be made just because it has become a sort of obligatory thing. I have always felt that you should only make a video if there is an artistic point in doing so.

And then there are all the clichés. I can't count the number of videos where:
1) The artists are performing in a forest
2) The singer is seen performing through an old fashioned TV set
3) The singer looks like (s)he is some sort of mummy or zombie, or breaking out from a shell

Instead of thinking of my favorite music videos I ended up exploring all those female fronted metal bands. Thanks!

Mutum, Volturian, and Evenoire sound pretty good. The problem with me is this: I found out that although I like metal it tends to get too repetitive after 3 or 4 songs.

Another problem is that I don't like growled vocals, male nor female. So although the song you posted from Vintersea was very good and the vocalist is pretty hot, the other ones I watched on YouTube were not to my liking because of the growls.

And a third problem that I find with female fronted metal bands is that half of them double track their voices. I don't know why they do that. Maybe to give the voice more power, but I feel it becomes too generic in time. The other half have operatic voices, and still some of them double track their voices too, I guess to give them a choral feel. That doesn't sound so bad at first, but after a while it gets a bit stale too.

Don't get me wrong though. I really liked those songs, but I realized I can only listen to symphonic metal in small doses.

Hi,

I'm a great fan of the stuff that Kevin Godley directed in videos, as they are really special in the way they were presented.

I have to watch some of the videos posted here, because I have not seen a whole bunch, but in general, I'm not a great fan of the videos of a lot of work, because they are not artistic for the most part, but just an illustration of the lyrics and/or the band ... and we keep wondering where the "depth" of the music went?

Kevin's films were much more than a video ... an art form, that years later ended up helping people like Lars von Trier and other film makers ... get adventurous with their own camera in many films.

But, if based on the average over the years, I would say that around 90% of the video are narcissistic exercises about each and every band ... and sometimes, they are just sordid and ugly for my film tastes.
