7 The Prodigy - Wind it up

WHAT??!! 8O That's their worst video. I do agree on Smashing Pumpikins. That one is great. Dom & Nic are superdirectors.



1)Street Spirit - Radiohead - Jonathan Glazer

2)Star Guitar - Chemical Brothers -Michel Gondry (I like the "making off" even better)

3)Coffee and TV - Blur - Hammer & Tongs

4)UNKLE- Rabbit in your headlights - Jonathan Glazer

5)No Good (or Firestarter) - Prodigy - Walter Stern

6)Smashing Pumpkins - Ava Adore - Dom & Nic

7)Chosise - Audioslave - Mark Romanek (PLAY LOUD :D )

8)Fell in love with a girl - White Stripes - Michel Gondry

9)Come to daddy - Aphex Twin - Chris Cunningham

10)Ghosts - Michael Jackson - Stan Winston



OK I had to choose a MJ vid and I also love Stan Winstons work so there you have it. Also I had to include Walter Stern because he made the early famous Prodigy videos and the first Chems video. NOTE: those 3 are all black and white, hmmm. Come to Daddy is still the must disturbing video I have ever seen, Chosise just works great with that video. I love the Hammer and Tongs stuff but that little milk carton is just the sweetest. Off course Michel Gondry. But at number 1 Glazer Street Spirit. The songs works so good with the video. Gives me goosebumps every time I see it.



Oh maybe as a bonus I like to include Add N to X - Plug me in video. Don't know the director but it's a good track and a good dildo advertizing vid.

Chemical brothers - Believe + Get yourself high

Prodigy - Voodoo people (Pendulum Remix) - http://youtube.com/watch?v=JsCF0eYKe5c

Chaiya Chaiya - Origianl movie video - http://youtube.com/watch?v=h_8ql5sfxes

from the same movie another classic video - http://youtube.com/w...related&search=

Daft punk - Da funk





that's all can think really, i m sure there are plenty plenty more..

Off the top of my head, no particular order, can't be arsed at the moment to look up directors or YouTube links, making an effort to pick videos not already listed. H



Here goes....





Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight

Radiohead - Paranoid Android

Chemical Brothers - Setting Sun

Portishead - All Mine

Tool - Aenima

Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box

Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug

Bjork - Human Behaviour

Arcade Fire - Rebellion: Lies

Bush - Greedy Fly



Wow, I don't like that list at all. All good videos, but seems lacking in inspiration. Too obvious. No "shockers". Ah well.

I think it's the reason he picked it :) Cheap Prodigy videos are so lousy that they are brilliant :D Wind it up and Out of Space were made with nothing, that's what makes them cool

I will post more videos tonight as long as nobody minds they might be a little older like from the 80's or 90's. There are so many great ones and so many cheesy ones worth a mention. Some of them were really iconic, some were laughable. I'm surprised I haven't come up with another list yet. I was practically raised in front of MTV.

there really are a great deal of outstanding music videos out there right now, that have never been or never will be played on mtv or vh1. Which im sure was the same case going back for the past 10-15 year.
