I'm surprised no-one has mentioned this yet....
^^^ I can't watch that one because I really, really, really effing hate that song. I loved Green Day way back when, but that slow drawn-out whining they do these days just irritates me to no end. Sucks, because their videos are definitely good!
There have been some awesome videos in this thread! Keep 'em coming! Here's some more I like...
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Nd-A-iiPoLg Is just, something I've caught myself returning to in the last couple of months.
Of course, I would obviously pic Metallica's One for just great use of "Johnny Get Your Gun"
I also always think of Type-O's Psychadelic video "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend"
More:
Landscape - Einstein A Go Go pre Thomas Dolby
Midge Ure - Breathe the textures, earthy color scheme, the camera rotation and constant movement, strangely soothing
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop minimalist set design with some random punches of color, garbage can backup singers, wormhole
...I love you.
Lapaholic mentioned my favorite music video, Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer. I still love that video.
Also, Southgang's Tainted Angel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42u6THtPEew Just for the 80s hair-metal cheese factor. And Butch Walker on the guitar. So hilariously bad, it's awesome.
Yes, I have more!
I like a LOT of Missy Elliott videos, but this one is definitely my favorite.
Crappy quality, but I have always loved this video - Pre-surgery Rainbow Kim!!:
I can't forget
Just beautiful:
This one used to make me cry every time:
deserves a mention too.
Still love the Bjork 'Human Behaviour' video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOepheinkCM
'Everlong', by Foo Fighters. I just like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHdwZCVZmg8
most anything by Spike Jonze...um, the Daft Punk one with the dog head is pretty genius, and yeah, Sabotage.

ETA: I'm lame...all this time, and I don't know how to embed links!
I'm gonna jump in and throw in a warning about the Skinny Puppy video Alexxxa mentioned. It's an anti-vivisection song, and the video is scenes from "Plague Dogs" and then pretty much crazy shots of animal testing. It's quite unpleasant. Just a disclaimer.
Has Bjork made a bad video? They're all pretty awesome.
^^^ Oh, what's the Bjork one where she's dancing on the flatbed truck as it drives through Times Square? That's a great one!
I've got a ton of favorite videos, too many to name. But, my all-time favorite?
No question---
"Take On Me" ~ A-Ha
Still rocks my world. Always will!
Yek, that was "Big Time Sensuality".
Right. Der. It's just my favorite Bjork song and all. *smacks forehead*

http://youtube.com/watch?v=2FjO_n9q9Ko Tricky, Christiansands
http://youtube.com/watch?v=qpN819k4sQA The Presets, Are You The One
That is all for now
+1 on ol' Bjork... She did "IT's so Quiet" live on the Tinght SHow and she was spot on... So much sound from a little body.
What is the Chili Pepers video where they imitate famous bands - via dress and performance style. I remember them acting like the beatles and Buddy Holly and the crickets.
Edit---
Oh and this is cool The Arcade Fire- "Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)" -> http://youtube.com/watch?v=Iz-WDk7Tbsc
I think she was struck by lightening, but here are 3 theories: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXT1cl30els
Classic burlesque, modern format!
WWJD. I am going to hell for sure for this. I wanna hump Jesus!
Yeah, I'm an odd duck. :3dglasses
Thanks for this thread! I've just killed almost 2 hours of work.
Ultravox - Thin Wall - early 80's attempts at optical illusions
Nu Shooz - Point of No Return Phantom shoes
Capitol Years - You Can Stay there Lumberjack Pancakes
Tupac & Scarface - Smile The camera angles make the guy look like Tupac. At the time this video had a lot of impact because people wondered if he was still alive.
Leslie Feist - 1 2 3 4
I've always liked music videos done in one take.
^^ I know someone who danced in that! Choreographed by Noemie la France. ;D
