heres 39 of my favourite videos
fatboy slim - weapon of choice
its christopher walken dancing like a madman
the pharcyde - drop
probably the best of the 'backwards but forwards' videos
ok go - here it goes again
ice skating on treadmills
unkle - rabbit in your headlights
just watch til the end
daft punk - around the world
in case you never realised, each dancer represents one of the audio elements of the song
rjd2 - work it out
its a dude doing expressive dance using a skateboard on crutches
goodshirt - sophie
NZ one shot video that sent the song to number one
jamiroquai - virtual insanity
moving floor boogie
beastie boys - sabotage
this looks like a 70s cop action movie filmed on $0 budget
people doing cool stuff

visual/animated
a perfect circle - counting bodies like sheep
the animated visuals make the song somehow more menacing
soulwax - e talking
the alphabet never looked so fun
franz ferdinand - take me out
its the dadaist wet dream
blockhead - music scene
probably the trippiest cartoon music video since pink floyds 'the wall'
kora - skankenstein
awesome dragonball z/anime parody that reminded me of fellow NZ band tadpole - better days
dj format - the hit song
at least 10 years old but still the best combination of rap and motion graphics ive seen
korn - freak on a leash
just a really cool idea
the chemical brothers - let forever be
let forever be is classic surrealism, but you cant look past star guitar by the chemical brothers either
rihanna - rude boy
so much dope colours in this one
gnarls barkley - crazy
very simple but clever concept
the white stripes - seven nation army
mesmerising use of triangles and red, white and black
battles - ice cream
check out the chick who does a self-interactive dance about half way through this
the prodigy - smack my bitch up
definitely in my top 5
other, generally awesome clips
trinity roots - little things
probably the only hangi ive ever seen on screen
the avalanches - frontier psychiatrist
people acting out a completely sampled track
scribe - not many (the remix)
still the best new zealand hip hop music video, in my opinion
wu tang clan - triumph
straight up classic
johnny cash - hurt
powerful last testament from the man in black
kylie minogue - come into my world
like a computer generated dream thats stuck in a loop
rage against the machine - sleep now in the fire
occupy wall street way before it was cool
cypress hill - lowrider
a west coast guilty pleasure
NERD - lapdance
villain theme music
benny benassi - satisfaction
i admire their superior workmanship
justice - stress
like the movie 'kids', but more violent and french
fucked up
im not even gonna try explain these ones, watch them if you dareaphex twin - windowlicker
the skeptics - AFFCO
classics
bob dylan - subterainean homesick blues
you can measure an icon by its imitators
queen - bohemian rhapsody
seminal rock opera masterpiece
michael jackson - thriller
the muhammad ali of music videos
