shaky Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) A quick search, surprised I couldn't find something here....... Music, as much as it is an auditory experience, thanks to MTV etc is also a visual thing. The standard band performing on a set video hasn't cut it for me for years now. A good music video is worth watching whilst my ears are soothed by the tune. So off the top of my head, probably the best 5 I have seen (there would be others I can't think off right now) are these: Thriller- Michael Jackson Has to be No 1 with daylight second Around the World- Daft Punk nothing needs to be said. Video perfection. I dare you not to move during the song too. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s9MszVE7aR4 Sledgehammer- Peter Gabriel- innovative, ingenious, brilliant UNKLE- Rabbit in your headlights. Banned in lots of places but WOW!! Just for the twist. http://www.mtv.co.uk/unkle-0/videos/rabbit-in-your-headlights#!/play/unkle-0/videos/rabbit-in-your-headlights Come to Daddy- Aphex Twin Not my description but IS exactly my experience with this one- This is one of those clips that you probably snuck out of bed and accidentally watched on Rage late one night in your childhood, leaving you horribly traumatised ever since. This is a million times more terrifying than every horror movie ever made, combined and multiplied by infinity. I could have just as easily added Windowlicker to this list too List yours.

ZEN MISTER Posted June 8, 2014 Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) ......this rises above mere video to become cinematic art. ZM. Edited June 10, 2014 by Zen Mister

Guest Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Ugh, so many good ones.... The full length version of Metallica's "One" is pretty damn awesome.
Kaynin Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Pffffttt - this video is easily the best ever made. period. Only bettered by the song itself -
Kaynin Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Seriously though, this one will do your head in (in a good way) - just brilliant, using the video medium to full effect - 1
