The best music video of all time

[PrincessHoneysuckle]

Aibu to say its "Crazy" by Aerosmith.Its a sexy mini film and imo the best.
Anyone want to suggest others?

Sneaking back on for 5 minutes. Have been up and out, honest guv! ;-)
I like dance in videos so love these three as the choreo is amazing...

Shakira. Did it again. Daniel ''Cloud'' Campos Pink's iconic contemporary Try Any of Kate Bush's videos to be fair - I agree that she was way ahead of her time. Running up that hill still looks and sounds brilliant. Michael Hervieu did that with only one day's rehearsal.

Walking after you - Foo Fighters

Really gives me the creeps.
Who knew Dave Grohl could be so scary

Completely agree with everyone saying Thriller is the all-time best.

My favourite of the decade is Nobody Speak by Run the Jewels. Also like This is America by Donald Glover.

I’d say Thriller too. It was in a league of its own. People still do the dance 30 years on (thousands of people do it on the New York Halloween parade). I remember the long version being shown on a specially extended Top of the Pops!

Yes Schottin Deutschland is a work of art.
I realise it was controversial (many wrongly view band as far right, reference to the concentration camps, Germania is depicted by a black woman) - Ruby Commey she's awesome but my eldest DD and I find the whole video artistic, provocative, cool highlighting some of the most important (and negative) events* in German history with the end ''I can't love you'' because of these events. It's epic.

*Roman times, the Middle Ages, Witch-hunt, November Revolution, Golden Twenties, Nazi book burnings, LZ 129 Hindenburg, World War I and World War II, Weimar Republic, Red Army Faction, the Cold War with West Germany and East Germany; and sci-fi scenes set in outer space. wiki

On a much lighter note, here's Train and 50 ways to say goodbye.
What video cannot be improved by the addition of The Hoff?

Really like harry styles adore you as a recent one

Panic! at the disco again - I write sins not tragedies.
15 years old, my word - won mtv video of the year iirc

@PhoneTwattery oops wrong one. I did wonder after I posted! 😁

@ThanosSavedMe

I only know because I LONGED to be Alicia!

Placemarking!

Hahaha. Didn’t we all @PhoneTwattery

Thanks to all on here for helping me pass a football free afternoon on youtube!

Sia, "Chandelier".
The choreography and performance of the dancer who was only 11 at the time is utterly riveting.

Pink - Stupid Girls

Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel
Tonight by the Smashing Pumpkins

Dancing in the street - David Bowie and mick Jagger!

Starfuckers Inc by Nine Inch Nails. A massive pisstake with Trent Reznor being all pervy and sexy.

Ordinary World by Duran Duran, the one with the bride in the crazy dress and hat. The most painfully early-90s thing in the world but it's really lovely.

Not the best video of all time no...but the best video for anyone wanting not to stress about corona or anything else! Excellent parody/cheese/and an actual earworm to boot! everybody now...you are gold and silver ha ha

Hugh Grant - Pop goes my heart!

Sonne rammstein.

Ha ha love Hugh grant in that video. It could have easily been a big 80’s hit

And apparently Hugh does all his own singing in music and lyrics. He had a lovely voice especially the song he sings on the piano at the concert. Sorry derailed the thread

I love Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence.

Both videos.

Well I am about to derail it by expressing disbelief that Till Lindemann is 57 I am also impressed that him and Richard Kruspe never had issues about Mareike (?) or if they ever did, never let them get in the way of the band.
Have been having a Rammstein fest the last half an hour thanks to pp on this thread!
Going to the polar opposite here is the rather wonderful Ray Liotta in the video to Ed Sheeran's Bloodstream

the much missed Rutger Hauer in Kylie's On a night like this

Mr Sting when he was hot as hell in Fortress around your heart

Wiretree has a lovely 1920s black and white video for Big Coat

Björk's Joga (yes I know everyone goes for all is full of love but I think this Michel Gondry directed video has its own charm like Björk is Moana's Te Fiti)

The short film video Jazzin for Blue Jean - Bowie such a sweetheart and I always enjoyed watching him

Talking of enjoyable watches, Sam Rockwell pulling off a Christopher Walken is always going to be my bag but I actually prefer the video with Saint Motel My Type music (it was a music video but for Flight Facilities' Down to Earth)

Last but by no means least, for sheer joyous chutzpah, and because I miss him as much as Prince and Bowie, I will always reserve a special place in my heart for George Michael's Outside video. When the descend, the urinals convert to shiny and George dances as a sexy cop my heart skips a beat. When it came out I just stood and applauded. RIP George

(the original song for those who want a double helping of Sam)
