Just the VERY best only please. No lists of more than ... say ... three.

Mine are "Walk This Way", Aerosmith and "Legs", ZZ Top.

Anyone else?

Dave

"Mummer's Dance" by Loreena McKennitt

I've always like the "Time an Time Again" video by Papa Roach. Awesome cars and good music. Sure its not anything vituosic, but its still a great song. If you haven't seen the actual video, the Pepsi Blue commercial has segments of it.

ZZ Top - Rough Boy
Megadeth - Hanger 18
Primus - Mr. Crinkle

But if I had more than three I'd add:

Tool - Prison Sex
Run DMC w/ Aerosmith - Walk this Way
Beastie Boys - Fight for your right (to party!)

Favorite is "Cold Feelings" by social distortion

i thought SUM 41 " the hell song " was funny as hell. especially when the solo came and "angus" was there. i like videos with a sense of humour.

These go way back.

"Hyperactive" - Thomas Dolby
"Girls Just Want to Have Fun - Cindy Lauper (Let's hear it for Capt. Lou Albano!)
"Parents Just Don't Understand" DY Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince

Three videos come to mind immediately. You might tell that I've been out of the US since 1990- I'm dating myself a bit here.

1. "Going Crazy"- David Lee Roth
Remember the one with the fat girl screaming "I gotta take a laxative!" at the beginning? Too cool. A real must see. David knew how to have fun.

2. "I Wanna Rock" - Twisted Sister
This video was just too much also. Great intro, "What are you gonnna do with your life?!?!?!" Then the kid turns into that painted face wild haired, uhmm..... thing.

3. "Sledgehammer" - Peter Gabriel
Good stuff here, good music. Gotta like it.

Peter Gabriel...Shock the Monkey
Peter Gabriel...San Jacinto
Presidents of the United States....Peaches
Anything by Bjork
Clannad....Harry's Game
REM.....Stand
Thomas Dolby....Blinded me with Science
Timbuk 3......Life is hard
Tracey Ullman....They don't know about us
Bonnie Raitt.....Thing called Love
Georgia Satellites....Red light, road block, bridge out ahead
Junior Brown.....Venom Wearin Denim
Marty Stuart.....Thats Country
Dwight Yoakam.....1000 miles from nowhere
Nanci Griffith....Troubled Fields
Johnny Cash.......Rusty Cage
ZZ Top............Girl in a Tshirt

Gotta modify my list. I have to include "Once In A Lifetime" by Talking Heads.

I second 'Sledgehammer' as the best video
also getting votes...

One - metallica
Alice in Chains had several good ones
Paradise City - GNR had cool live footage.

wait, I have a new number one, Warrant's video for Cherry Pie.

Anything with explosions, nekkid chicks and skulls.

3 new, 3 old:

New:

Oh, what the hell. I could name 3 just from Spike Jonze:

Bjork "It's Oh So Quiet" - I'm not a Bjork fan, but this is a great piece of film.

Fatboy Slim "Weapon of Choice" - Christopher Walken. Dancing. Who knew?

Weezer "Buddy Holly" - OK, it's a gimmick. But I still think this is major league clever.

Old:
Kate Bush "Cloudbusting" - Film fits music beautifully.

Godley & Creme "Cry" - An old school version what became the overused "morphing" effect. They got much recognition for the outstanding "Every Breathe You Take" video, but I like this one even more.

Art of Noise "Close to The Edit" - Kids, don't take chain saws to your parents' pianos.

WOW! I never thought anyone from this crowd would bring that one up. It's a cool video.

I liked some of the old Huey Lewis videos for humorous quality. The one where Huey was Frankenstein, and all the severed heads were singing harmony in the lab. And the one with "Myott"...hilarious.

I generally like more experimental videos...rather than just concert footage. Like the Cars' "You might think I'm crazy", Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer", etc. I'm not too big on big dance numbers, but the Janet Jackson one where she went back in time and met a young Cab Calloway was cool.

Right now, as I mentioned on another thread, I like Nickel Creek's "Smoothie Song"...not only is it instrumentally great, but it really caters to stuff musicians can relate to.

WOW! I never thought anyone from this crowd would bring that one up. It's a cool video.

Thanks, I thought it was a great video, very artistic, and brought the old Celtic custom of "mumming" back to life. After seeing that video, I had to see the band live, and went to their show at Massey Hall, which was recorded, and later released as "Live From Paris and Toronto." The live concert was fabulous, and one of the best sounding concerts I've ever heard, I was totally blown away by Loreena and her band.

1. The background video used for "Scenes From A Memory" on the live New York DVD by Dream Theater.
2. "Going Under" by Evanescence
3. Any video that Adam Jones has made for his band Tool. Now that's some brilliant stuff, both their music and videos. I hear that they put on quite the light show as well to complement their music live.

The Romantics - What I Like About You

These guys just released a new album. They've got Clem Burke (Blondie) on drums now. They've got it at Amazon with a couple of soundbites.

They were my first concert at the Royal Oak Music theater in the suburbia of Detroit. Oh for the days of skinny ties and leather pants!

I'm not a fan of electronica/technoish music, but I saw the video for the Prodigy's "Smack my bitch up" last night on MusiquePlus, and wow! It's an amazing video that really plays on your preconceptions...one of the best I've ever seen. Kudos for such an original idea. I won't be buying any Prodigy albums tho!
