I'd say a great deal of those are shit.

[Reply #368 on:]

Yeah, although there are some that I'm glad got in, that before reading I didn't think would... For example; Jamiroquai's 'Virtual Insanity' and Lenny Kravitz's 'Are You Gonna Go My Way'. Where's Prodigy though, damn it!...

Is that the one where Jay Kay is standing in a room and it "moves" all around him? I really can't remember. I liked Jamiroquai's Canned Heat video too 

[Reply #370 on:]

Yeah that's the one Impy, the floor keeps moving and the sofa and stuff, it's awesome  The 'Canned Heat' video rules too, so does the 'Deeper Underground' vid, and 'Little L'. Damn it, I wish he'd just put a DVD of all his videos out, instead of that live DVD, I want videos!...

Deeper Underground, that's such a cool video  The other day I saw the video for Bjork's 'Hunter' ... pretty weird but cool

That list is appalling, absolutely appalling.  Man, music videos suck.  But on the subject, what the fuck is wrong with you European people?  I've just seen the video for this "Ding Dong Song" and it's apocalyptically awful.  This is popular entertainment in Europe?  What the hell?

I don't understand why this stuff is popular too, luckily I never heard the Ding Dong Song (I don't think it was very popular here)...but have you heard that O-Zone song? On second thoughts, don't bother. Oh man, the humanity! ...

Yep. I think it's a bear, although I thought it was a lion. I used to love the video for It's Oh So Quiet when I was little

(For those who don't know, F. Gary Gray directed The Negotiator and the remake of The Italian Job.)

As for the list, it's got some good stuff, but also a lot of junk and a lot of stuff I've never heard of.

EDIT: Because "lto" is not a word.

[Reply #379 on:]

I saw The Hives' new video "Walk Idiot Walk" recently and I liked it a lot. The concept was interesting and there were some nice shots and creative things with the scenery. It's nice to see different and interesting videos made by someone that is not called Michel Gondry or Spike Jonze.

Aphex Twin- On
Bjork- Army of Me
Alice in Chains- Rooster
Metallica- One(the late at night version)
Michael Jackson- Thriller(all his mini-movie type vids are good)
Londonbeat- I've been thinkin' about you
Enigma- Sadness
Deep Forest- Sweet Lullaby

Since I don't seem to have posted it yet on this page, I shall reiterate that the best music video ever is the Gap Band's Party Train.

[Reply #383 on:]

I managed to see the video for Peter Gabriel's Big Time today. It's made by Aardman Animations, the same people who did Sledgehammer, and it's pretty cool stuff 

[Reply #384 on:]

I always preferred Big Time to Sledgehammer.

[Reply #385 on:]

Big Time was way cooler. I like the song way more than Sledgehammer, and the content was just too neat.
Train- Ordinary
Linkin Park- Breaking the Habit
Poor songs? Sure. But this is a best VIDEO thread. And when I can see Molina in a trench coat and anime back to back on MTV, it's a good thing.

Yeah, I was told that if I liked Sledgehammer, then I would instantly love Big Time    At least there are no phallic references in this one ...

pfft, there were only about 1 or 2 bands on there I even occasionally listen to.

[Reply #390 on:]

Same here. I just add the exclamation points to get people ready to vomit. From the videos I've seen from the nominees list, the only one that's really outstanding is Walkie Talkie Man and I don't even like the song too much. Gondry should win Best Director for that.
Probably I'll just skip the show this year.

[Reply #391 on:]

Mmm, I'm only interested in the Rock videos, of those, I like "Breaking The Habit".

Out of the rest, "Maps" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs I've always loved.

[Reply #392 on:]

At the moment I'm really liking Badly Drawn Boy- Year of the Rat, Chronic Future- Time and Time Again and Scissor Sisters- Take Your Mama. Very unique and fun videos..

[Reply #393 on:]

I don't care what anyone says, I like Jay-Z's video for "99 Problems."  Even though the facist FCC won't let you say "strong-arm a ho," which ruins the pace and beat of the song.  In fact, I like two other hip-hop songs on the list: Outkast (duh) and the Kanye West video for "All Falls Down."  On the basis of the "video," all three are pretty visually interesting.

On the rock side, I hope the YYYs win, even though they probably won't.  Franz Ferdinand and Modest Mouse both put out pretty interesting videos in the same "retro, turn of the century" vein, so it's a toss-up for me between the two. The other rock videos, frankly, suck.

Gondry should win for The White Stripes or for Steriogram.  I'd like his Stripes work to win, because, frankly, that song is better.

+I like a grand total of 7 of those videos.  Which I think is an improvement from last year.

[Reply #394 on:]

I like the Hey Mama video by the black Eyed Peas, then there's this.

Hmm I want to see that video and the movie looks good. I hope they can show it on MTV or The Box (those are the music channels that I got along with VH1)

Has anybody seen that video Eric Prydz Call On Me? The video shows most females working out in the gym and their workout instructor was wearing a sort of a revealing costume. Basically you can see her naked butt and there a lot of hip thrusting going on.

It is ridiculous and sexist.

Edit, Oh and Bowling for soup – 1985 is a great video.
