After witnessing the horror that is Kiss me a lot, i think our brain needs to restore its faith in music videos
So I'm wondering which music video do you think is an utter masterpiece

Ill start the thread with Friday I'm in love by The Cure

My favorite and I feel the best ever....


"Suedehead" by Morrissey




The most powerful music video I've ever seen ( some of it is very hard to watch)...


"Concrete Angel" by Martina McBride





Really does an incredible job of capturing the vibe of a tremendous city (Seattle) and the era this song came out....


"Would?" by Alice In Chains





I just watched Part Two of a twin set DVD pack that I bought a few years ago that is entitled " Morrissey, From Where He Came to Where He Went." I don't know if this video was created in the 80's or recently, and I'm not sure who created it, but I love it. I feel it really captures the spirit and strength and reality and uniqueness of The Smiths. It's actually quite astonishing....


"How Soon Is Now? by The Smiths

Here's three more that I consider to be masterpieces....


"Domino Dancing" by Pet Shop Boys



-I've read some people think this music video is cheesy, but I think it's perfect in every way. It was filmed in Puerto Rico.



I'm not a huge fan of Rage's music but I like this song and its video is explosive. For some reason a lot of Zach's vocals are missing which is hella annoying.


"No Shelter" by Rage Against the Machine





The ultimate music video to illustrate a relationship, its plusses and minuses and its heart. This music would probably be lambasted by most but I like it. At the 1:13 point the music becomes more dramatic. Whoever filmed this video did an incredible job of meshing the music with the imagery, an absolutely incredible job.


"Under My Spell" by Ngo Thanh Van

I Love the sadness of love will tear us apart by joy divison.
Shot in a run down location, it really how "i'm trying but im still just wrong " of Ian Curtis
Ians name on the door, really plucks at the heartstrings. Feels like Finding an old lovers name written on the walls

Nice selection. I remember Morrissey and marr hating the how soon is now vid.
Here's blurs for tomorrow.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gghFPavXE7Q very simple, a bit cliche but still well done. Also no list would be complete with out:

This charming man, by The Smiths
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cJRP3LRcUFg


"This Charming Man" is such an awesome video and song!!! Great pick! This video really captures their spirit and all of their strengths.

I've tried to like Blur. I've tried to force myself to like them but they just don't click with me at all. They're like Led Zeppelin to me, completely boring. Sorry to be obtuse.

Wow, that's interesting about Johnny and Moz not liking the "How Soon Is Now?" video.

Yeah, the how soon is now vid was done with out their permission. Marr and Morrissey even apolagized to their fans about the video. Called it silly i belive.

I just adore blur. They are one of my faves, but i also think Led Zeppelin is quite boring

nirvana - with the lights out menu (song lounge act)

I just find the irony, years after irony was again a thing, to be so funny in this video. alt take for teen spirit featuring a different song that starts out dumb and silly and then randomly becomes insightful and prophetic which just kinda mirrors part of what people made kurts motif to be. something that on first glance looks like nothing but transforms into something meaningful is a nice allusion tot he band and kurt himself. I mean I cant stop watching a dvd menu that's hard to even look up because of the popularity and wording. its baffling but sincerely compelling
