personally I'd definitely add a Michael Jackson video in there somewhere. Dude really laid out the blueprint for extravagant music videos with high production value. He legit treated them like short films

a boy is a gun by tyler the creator is honestly a cinematic masterpiece

2D animation in music videos is really cool. I remember being entranced by the Gorillaz videos when i was a kid. Super influential and timeless stuff. And thanks for the video btw.

All Caps - Madvillain Hey Ya - Outkast A BOY IS A GUN* -Tyler, The Creator I've Seen Footage - Death Grips Karma Police - Radiohead Alright - Kendrick Lamar Virtual Insanity - Jamiroquai Once in a Lifetime - Talking Heads. There are more but this is a sample of my favorite music videos.

Always loved the music video for The Weeknd's "False Alarm" and that's exclusively because it was directed by Ilya Naishuller, the same guy who directed Hardcore Henry. I also adore the video for BROCKHAMPTON's BUZZCUT. It's abstract visuals are so incredibly creative.

Cellophane is honestly so beautiful why didn’t it win a grammy?

Once In A Lifetime - Talking Heads edit: all talking heads for that matter

I'm so early that Harrison hasn't referred to any of Kanye's videos yet, lol. Keep up the good work, tho🎌

I think you forgot the GOAT of music videos. MJ pushed the music video format to the next level. My personal favorite of his is Scream with Janet

Okay but any of A$AP Rocky’s videos could definitely be on this list, all of them are wildly beautiful

Can't emphasize enough on how much I love the mise en scène in Humble by Kendrick, while rappers usually rely on fast editing to convey dominance and look hard, Kendrick can hold a shot for 15-20 seconds and still be powerful. that shot with all the mens bald heads is incredible

A$AP Rocky got some of my favorite music videos. L$D, A$AP Forever, and Praise The Lord are all super dope.

Gaga has some of the best music videos oat, and I’m glad people are aware of that

Bold of you to talk about music videos and not mention Michael Jackson.

To me, the BEST music video ever is Johnny Cash - HURT. Something about it just fucks me up bad. The fact he's basically DYING of old age while recording the video is just heartbreaking. And the editing and cinematography also really shows his regrets with his life of being a famous folk singer and songwriter, knowing that all of that fame is for nothing at the end.

The Jamiroquai video was achieved by the camera being attached to a small set that moved about a larger room. So the floors are never actually moving, it's all the walls, but because Jamiroquai's dancing is so good, he effectively gave the impression that he's moving about on a moving floor.

The story of oj and this is america are easily some of the best modern music videos period

Every music video for Daft Punk's Discovery, played in album order tells one big cohesive story and thats why it'll always be the top of my list.

Kanye’s “no church in the wild” and daft punk’s “instant crush” both have amazing videos

Some of my favourites are Aphex twin- rubber Johnny MGMT- Little dark age The Strokes- Ode to the Mets Radiohead- karma police

I feel like music videos are kind of a gateway into the artists mind and where they were at when making the song

The Ghost of You transition from dance floor to ocean water running across the screen rivals some of the best feature film transitions

Rammsteins Deutchland made me rewatch it 6 times in a row

My favorites (not including the ones you mentioned which I also like): Radiohead - Man of War Radiohead - Daydreaming Tons of people - Frontier Psychiatrist Reanimated They Might Be Giants - Unpronounceable IDLES - Colossus Crumb - Locket Edit: IDLES - War

Stromae - quand c'est. This just looks really artistic Stromae - papatoui. Most beautiful of the two

Fka twigs videos are absolutely a spiritual experience. Home to you made me cry so hard. I also suggest Panda bears boy latin if you like trippy visuals and animation. Radiohead's just is such a intresting and mysterious video.

The music video Cloudbusting by Kate Bush. It’s like the best music video that could be a short film ever.

Clipping not only has great stories within songs, some impressive experimental hip hop, and some great videos. Also the unsettling videos of Jack Stauber

Star Guitar - The Chemical Brothers - Crazy Concept Run Boy Run - Woodkid - He did it himself and it's just beautiful

I made a short list of favorites, but "Tonight, Tonight" by the Smashing Pumpkins is a beautiful homage to one of the first films ever made. Its imagery crossed with the theatrical goth/alt sound of the music is amazing. The peak of the orchestral music near the end followed by soft guitar strumming gives me chills.

Some of my favorite music videos are Jewelry by Blood Orange, Nikes from Frank Ocean and Cellophane and Sad Day by FKA Twigs. Side note, FKA Twigs has gotta have the most underrated music videos ever. So artistic and well shot / acted. Specially Sad Day which was directed by Hino Murai, the director behind tv shows like Donald Glover’s Atlanta and HBO’s Barry.

ASAP Rocky and Travis Scott have some pretty dope ass music videos 🔥🔥

Check out Deutschland by Rammstein. That video is packed full of lore and symbolism in one epic rendition of the history of Germany. Five Finger Death Punch's A Little Bit Off about making the best out of a bad situation in the background of the pandemic, and Puscifer's Apocalyptical for ...just watch it.

I still imitate Christopher Walken's dance moves to this day lmao

Taylor Swift's look what you made me do is quite amazing

Now we just need a playlist with all those music videos

a lot - 21 Savage ft. J. Cole is up there for me, it just paints a great picture to an incredible track

Surprised there was no Lana Del Rey mention, her videos are always an experience

Revolution 909 by daft punk is one of my favourites It takes a girl leaving a rave encountering a cop, and she notices there’s a sauce stain on his shirt. Then the rest of the music video shows a tomato growing, being harvested and processed, being sold in a store, being bought and cooked into a pasta sauce, then it shows how the cop spilled sauce on his shirt. It’s the best kind of weird

How “subterranean homesick blues,” isn’t on this list is beyond me. One of the most original and classic videos of all time.

My all-time fav music video is Nirvana - Heart-Shaped Box.

2:25 I feel like the fact that he worked on Breaking Bad, and more specifically Ozymandias, often gets left out here. Sadly Rian's gotten a bad reputation because a lot of people didn't like the new Star Wars movies but they forget he played a big part in creating literally one of the best tv episodes of all time

I can't believe "Baby I'm yours" by Breackbot wasn't on the list. The animation is sureal, smooth, and honestly breathtaking.

One - Metallica. When it came out it was unlike anything and uses the monochrome color and movie clips in the best ways possible.

Rammstein - Deutschland is fantastic. Many hidden references

Come to Daddy by Aphex Twin and My People by The Presets are both examples of electronic songs with really trippy visuals in their music videos

My top 3: - Vogue (Madonna) - Bad Romance (Lady Gaga) - Thriller (Michael Jackson)

aries has such a distinct music video style, love every one of them

Some of my favourites Jay-Z - The Story of OJ - The aesthetic is unmatched and the visuals are the best I’ve seen in a mv Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy & Enei - Sinking - These are both just terrifying Flying Lotus - Putty Boy Strut & Noisia - Could This Be - I love this cyclical stuff in music videos, I’m sure there’s so many more Kendrick Lamar - HUMBLE & Stormzy - Sounds of the Skeng - Cool rap videos with cool shots are cool Mura Masa - Wherever You Go - because I’m British and that’s reason enough Porter Robinson - Shelter - One of the most emotional experiences I’ve ever had listening to music All the Daft Punk anime/esque stuff - because And OKGO’s everything

Naughty by Irene & Seulgi has some of the best choreography I’ve ever seen in my life

That Aphex Twin's Windowlicker short characterisation was on point :D

Some of my favourite music videos (in no particular order) would be: Deutschland by Rammstein The Universal by Blur Read My Mind - The Killers Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve Angels - Robbie Williams

one of the most vivid memories i have from my childhood is sitting on my dads bed in his apartment watching the alejandro music video on his bulky 2000s tv

A song that would have been nice to see here would have been Deutschland by Rammstein. Great cinematography and a critical take on Germany's history

i love when artists use mvs to make a world and when certain videos connect together it's just satisfying to me

Baby Keem - Hooligan is a great video for a great song. It’s simple, but it’s so dope how he has models rapping the song while he is sitting there with a disinterested expression on his face.

Toro Y Moi's Rose Quartz & MGMT's When You Die are top tier psychedelic experiences.

I’ve always loved “Razzmatazz” by idkhow, it’s equally modern and extremely 90s.

i loved the span of videos you used- from the different genres and visual techniques! it definitely gives me a different way of looking at music videos!

That Aries mv in the beginning got me off guard Love to see Aries getting recognition he deserves

“Sacrilege” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs is easily one of the greatest music videos ever. Also love “Afterlife” by Arcade Fire with their live, in-one-take masterpiece.

Music videos is genuinely one of the coolest genres of film imo so much cool stuff is made with the neat songs

So happy someone else remembers that avalanches song and clip! It was a fever dream. I also loved Daft Punk’s Big City Nights and Whitetown’s ‘Your Woman.’

beyond grateful for this video, thanks! Been hooked on Brockhampton vids lately and I've started to fall back in love with music videos

Kendrick’s got some insane MVs

for me, Square Hammer by Ghost is a jewel in the metal genre. The green pallette, whack acting and cinematography are perfect my other favorites are: Papaoutai by Stromae Thriller by Michael Jackson Gibberish by MAX (this is truly a masterpiece) Cracker by Gorillaz and a bunch more

The Hi This is Flume visualizer deserves a shoutout. Imo the greatest music video of all time is Hurt by Johnny Cash though. A haunting look back at the flaws, love, and life of a legend made all the more powerful by the masterful editing.

With the Hey Ya video, I think it just adds to the meaning behind the song itself. We're having fun just like the people in the audience dancing to the song without really listening to what he's saying. Also I've been binging your videos, I love these

ariana grande's god is a woman and no tears left to cry are some of the best pop music videos of the last decade. some of my favorites also include MJ's thriller, travis' sicko mode and beyoncé’s formation

If you ever do something like this again, you should include at least one Rammstein music video. Most of their videos are SUPER over the top, and that isn’t a bad thing at all, since that always means awesome visuals and crazy storylines attached to them.

- 6:12 That effect was used in Wang Chung's Everybody Have Fun Tonight video

Weapon of choice by fatboy slim was my introduction to fat boy slim and i haven't looked back since, that video is fucking electric

*Tranz (Gorillaz)* - the character design in the animation is absolutely unreal. The fictional band members of 2D, Hobbs, Noodle, and Ace have wildly different looks and demeanors, perfectly encapsulating the look of a band that's been through the machine and is hitting their breaking point as a group. *After the Storm (Kali Uchis)* - I almost have nothing to say about this video besides how vibrant and expressive the art direction is. Both extravagant and casual, and makes me feel the air of springtime in my soul. *Rattlesnake (King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard)* - The greenscreen and visual effects of this video are so lackluster and dated-looking, even after just 4 years, that I can't help but absolutely love it. It looks like one of the band members got his brother to make a music video in their garage in under 2 hours, and encapsulates the goofy charm of the band wordlessly. *Let It Happen (Tame Impala)* I don't think I can think up a music video that fills me with more of a sense of dread than this one, picturing a businessman dying of an overdose in an airport. It's one of the trippiest, most cerebral, terrifying things I've ever seen. *Harder Better Faster Stronger (Daft Punk)* No need to explain why this one is great. Everyone knows it. The animation sequence is gorgeous and perfectly represents the sense of progress and improvement that themes the song. *Still Feel (Half Alive)* Possibly the best choreography I've ever seen in a music video. Nothing else to say, it's just so smooth and charming. *Just a Cloud (Lusine)* This one is amazingly simple and effective. We see an introverted girl listening to synthwave on the bus in the dead of winter, and it's the moodiest thing you've ever seen. Oh, and then she sees god.

Ahem . Michael Jackson , take your pick . Pink Floyd , Another Brick in The Wall . Beatles , Don't Let Me Down , live on the Roof .REM , Losing My Religion . Rod Stewart , Sailing . Evanescense , My Immortal . Enya , Orinoco Flow . C'mon Man .

False Alarm by The Weeknd is my personal favorite. Super creative work with a drone plus the first person POV they used for the whole thing, with action happening at all the right times. It’s something straight out of a video game almost.

I'm so happy that you mentioned OK Go. I really love their videos and music and I think it's a crime that so many people haven't seen their masterpieces yet

This is america and UNLOCKED are some of my favourite recent rap music videos

*DAFT PUNK* also have some wicked videos in their catalogue 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥....

The Bachelorette music video is what got me into Björk! It got reccommended to me on youtube randomly and I was hooked.

i fully expected This Is America to be on this list since its the only song that really comes to mind that is a true multimedia experience, where neither the song nor the video work without the other.

The kids turned out fine by A$ap rocky is a great music video

My Machines by Battles ft. Gary Numan deserves a mention. I've never seen a man fall down the escalator for 4 minutes before.

Omg thanks I discovered some great mvs thanks to this video and more specifically OK Go's amazing videography/discography 😍

Breezeblocks by Alt-J has always been one of my favorites, it's super interesting how they tried to tell a story in reverse from the ending and I had to watch that video like three times over to piece together everything that was going on

New Lands by Justice, Time To Dance by The Shoes, and Turbo Killer by Carpenter Brut. Turbo Killer is especially visually spectacular and fits so well with what Carpenter Brut was doing with his Trilogy album

virtual insanity music video is just phenomenal

thx for including oh baby. the music video is soooo good

woah i love the avalanches and that video, I never thought I would see it in a compilation like this. I am so thrilled

The video for Telephone by Lady Gaga and Beyoncé is absolutely iconic. Beyoncé breaks Gaga out of prison and then they proceed to drive around the desert in a yellow truck with flames painted on it called 'The Pussy Wagon' and poisoning and enitire roadside diner. I guarantee you it will be the most enthralling 7 minutes of your life

Love the circles by posty vid, the song is about well things repeating with relationships and that but the video is about war and violence just expands on the songs meaning 👍

My favourite Music Videos of all time are: 1. Interstella 5555 2. Thriller 3. Take on me 4. Runaway (the movie)

I love all types of music, randomly found your channel. Glad I did! Subbed! Keep up the great work!

I've always loved the music video for "once in a lifetime" by Talking Heads. The video feels hypnotic and so entertaining. He preforms gestures and ritual like actions like a speaker at a church or holy place would preform. Its an all around great video in my opinion.

Great video, the pacing was fantastic

I was hesitant in watching this video as I saw some of the comments and the artists mentioned aren't really my thing. But thank God I watched it because I loved the variety in this! I also like how each and every music video has a different reason why. I still think Ok Go is very underrated, and I'm glad how you didn't select a specific one (cause that's how good all of them are). I've already seen more than half of these videos and I took notes of the rest to watch after. Thank you! Really.

not even big mcr fan but when I checked them out to see what the fuss was all about I was floored by the music videos.ESPECIALLY The ghost of you it had my jaw in the basement. Emotion bled from it and I think that's exactly what they were going for.

this is so random and i'm not even really a bts fan or anything but I've never been more shook than when I saw their Blood Sweat Tears Japanese music video - watch it high I dare you That and anything by Tyler the Creator

If I had to choose a favorite music video, it would be Instant Crush by Daft Punk. The last minute of that video is enough to make me tear up.

Fun fact the video for Frontier Psychiatrist was directed by Tom Kuntz, who also directed a bunch of those weird old spice commercials

Benjamin Clementine's "I won't complain" is absolutely haunting. He is kind of a haunting guy in general
