Paid Members Carbomb Posted February 18, 2022 Paid Members Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) The old thread can't be found, so here's the new one. #megadethtothreads Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar Still one of the best concepts I've seen in a music video. You'd think it'd be repetitive, but it draws you in. A-Ha - Take On Me Anyone mentions great music videos, this absolutely has to be in with a shout as one of the best ever. People today are still impressed by it. Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer One of my favourite musicians of all time, and one of my favourite music vids ever. Jax Jones ft. Ina Wroldsen - Breathe Not many club tracks that have impressive music videos, but this one has always stuck in my memory. Great use of iconic places, and excellent dancing.

The Gaffer Posted February 18, 2022 Posted February 18, 2022 Music videos basically belong to Chemical Brothers, Prodigy and Girls Aloud, don't they? As someone who loves the fuck-the-art-trip, vague meaningless symbolism of pop, I've always found them bloody thrilling. So outside of the obvious I enjoy La Femme's stuff: Perennial pisstakers KLF: And Rammstein need to be mentioned in a thread like this. Seen here attempting to wrap up the music video format for good: Quote

Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted February 18, 2022 Awards Moderator Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) This has always stuck in my mind since seeing it as a kid. Simple, but really striking. Seemed mind-blowing at the time. Edited February 18, 2022 by Frankie Crisp Quote
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted February 18, 2022 Paid Members Posted February 18, 2022 Do you remember those great DVD compilations where they would have the works of directors music videos. I definitely have a few of them in the loft with the likes of Michel Gondry, Spike Jonez? Great stuff. Anyway, I remember that this was available on a VHS and bought it from HMV rather then the usual CD single. He always had fascinating videos, but this was a mind fu$k at the time. Aphex Twin - Windowlicker. Also loved this at the time. Praise You is probably more popular as a video, but I preferred this And then this video oddity. I just think it’s really well done, yet simple. Toe Jam by The BPA Quote

Paid Members PunkStep Posted February 18, 2022 Paid Members Posted February 18, 2022 I saw Merzbow post last and thought 'he's going to post something really, really weird that I've never heard of'. But fucking hell, even that exceeded expectations. This is one of my favourite music videos of all time, and opened up an entire new world of music to me. I was utterly captivated by the song and ultimately Daft Punk. Wow, this is how you announce yourself to the world. Quote
wordsfromlee Posted February 18, 2022 Posted February 18, 2022 Posting a Chris Cunningham video is pretty basic bitch but they're so good. Quote
Merzbow Posted February 18, 2022 Posted February 18, 2022 Ha, ok so serious this time it's one I was reminded of earlier. Micheal and Janet's Scream video was outstanding. Quote

wordsfromlee Posted February 18, 2022 Posted February 18, 2022 Jonathan Glazer was brilliant at music videos too Quote
