Most music videos, especially modern ones, are pretty boring.

Ok go! Have aan archive of songs that I don't regularly listen to, but have really memorabele video clips. I likey them more for the videos than everything else.

Quite s nice niche,I think

Adrenaline by Kontra K The video definitely does not show the artist himself surfing a Berlin S-Bahn in broad daylight.

The Stage - Avenged Sevenfold

First few times I heard the song, it was just on in the background and I wasn't paying much attention to the lyrics. Like... okay, we're watching you perform on a stage? Weird thing to write a song about, but whatev; sounds cool so screw it.

Finally pulled up the video and it went from "lol marionette puppets!" to "Oh... OOOH. Hoooooly shit!" pretty damn quick.

Now it gives me shivers every time it comes on.

Steven Wilson's Drive Home

Besides being a masterpiece, it also has a heart wrenching video clip that's very artistic

Okay, this should be one of the more popular songs amongst indie producers:

  1. WARNING×WARNING×WARNING by Akatsuki Records https://youtu.be/7UubKYqEy3s // https://piped.video/7UubKYqEy3s

  2. The Creator by Akatsuki Records https://youtu.be/9YFZ_7yPId4 // https://piped.video/9YFZ_7yPId4

I'm more into music tracks rather than in 'music videos', though.

Anything by The Correspondents:

Fear and Delight

Inexplicable

All done with practical effects and camera trickery. The making of videos are amazing: first second.

Also shoutout to the parody song Climate Change Denier.

The Brothers Quay aesthetic captured in Manson’s Beautiful People video is wonderful.

Yeasayer was always trying to go above and beyond with their music and storytelling. It still saddens me to be reminded they broke up.

I am Chemistry was peak for them, taking on a topic I never thought I'd see in music.

But it didn't stop there. The bizarre use of claymation to tell this story of theirs, in the music video cemented it as my favorite of all time.
