Whats your most favourite music video? Mostly the ones included should be story based music videos,but some other types are fine.
Mine is Ed Sheerans Lego House, a really recent addition. Watch until the end otherwise you won't get the full effect.

If you like naked women you'll like this video

But really, who doesn't like naked women?

I might get flak for this but oh well; I think the video is pretty cool.

Kanye West has freakin' awesome music. People just assume because of his reputation that he sucks as a rapper (which is so false).

OT:

Andrew W.K. making banana smoothies while playing guitar at 1 AM. Your argument is invalid.

Similar theme, same language, different genre. (obviously NSFW)

For some reason, I really liked this music video when I was younger:


Also, probably the band's only good song.

As far as mesmerizing goes, there's this:

Sorry, can't remember any of the ones I genuinely like. Meh, they'll come to me.

Can't go past the song that made me love Muse.

It took 15 posts to get to LRR? For shame!

Anything by OK Go

That one got me interested in them when I first saw it so I checked out some of their other songs and they make some great videos.

My go-to music video choice.

More people need to be exposed to Koji Morimoto.

 
19   POSTED: 28 Feb 2013 20:50

Definitely We've Got a Situation Here by The Damned Things. It's a bunch of rockers becoming rock-based superheroes who shoot lasers out of their instruments to hilarious effect, what's not to like?

One pound FEEEEESH

Yes! MJ had loads of top videos to be fair. I'm surprised this hasnt come up yet either, if only for its comedy value.

Also; I only just noticed this thread has been majorly necro'd - it's from October 2011, what the actual fuck?

I also took the liberty of correcting your lyrics.
If you want to serve me, serve me correctly.

Again, for those who like naked chicks, this one's a bit more creative with it.

This. Just... this. Here is your definitive proof that Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are more than a novelty act. It's beautiful

What really needs to be said about this guy?

And then there's this. Absolutely my favourite video of all time. Just so creative, so well pulled off, and Jay is so fucking smooth

 
27   POSTED: 1 Mar 2013 12:07

Oh there are so many choices out there ... Which one matches today?

 
28   POSTED: 1 Mar 2013 12:56

Rammstein in my view do the best music video's, certainly within the genre of heavy metal at least.

Kind of helps if you know the lyrics translated to English though :P

Pretty much this, I'm a sucker for robot and battles!

This. If you know anything about Slipknot, you know that they wear masks and they go by numbers instead of names. I think they do it because it's supposed to criticise the modern music industry and how you can almost swap out anyone with anyone else. This music video shows them playing without their masks but you still don't see their faces. Very cool to see for a long time fan.

This one is a winner in my book. The moment when the big guy starts dancing is pretty much my favorite thing.
