Hurt is a good one, but if you want a really interesting NIN video, try to find Happiness in Slavery. This is one of the most disturbing things you'll ever see.
ah shame I can't condence all this into one post, but Bjork has some great videos... It's Oh So Quiet Who Is IT Cocoon Pagan Poetry
I'll check it out. I'm a fan of all that is NIN. Yeah, I'm a big Bjork fan and her videos are amazing visually. I've downloaded Human Behavior and Big Time Sensuality and will check out the other ones you listed. Oh, and to anyone who hasn't seen "Smack My b**** Up" I highly recommend you see it. It's not only funny but it has a jaw dropping ending as well.
Ooh, ooh, I know the ending and I have never seen the video!! ****SPOILER**** In the video, the viewer is seeing things from the eyes of the main character - in other words, you never see the main character until the end - you just see all the stuff they do. Finally, at the end, the main character is revealed to be, yup you guessed it, a woman! The only reason why I know this is they talked about this video on some show (I think it was MTV) about the greatest videos ever. Also, I don't think MTV ever showed it before midnight (I guess because of the title).
these are probably all old... Aerosmith - Sweet Emotion Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice (low-brow choice - Sir Mix-A-Lot - Baby Got Back. cool, he's standing on a butt...) Faith No More - Epic (maybe some of these things just have nostalgia value at this point... like remember how weird that video was in the 90's...)
Kenna - Hell Bent Great music video for a great song. The video itself tells kind of a Brave new world story. Its animated, bleh...again, just a great music video.
Not because of the title but because there was brief nudity (in other words, BOOBIES!!!). My roommate and I stayed up to check it out when it first premiered just for that reason. Sad, huh?
Two words: fish and piano. actually, it disturbed me at the time. It's kind of like fun nostalgia now.
****SPOILER**** Oh yeah, it's awesome. The whole video is shot in first person from taking a shower getting ready to go out, drinking a obsene amount of alcohol, doing lines of coke, going to bars trying to pick up women unsuccessfully, getting in a fight with a DJ, throwing up, getting thrown out of a bar, then going to a strip club, picking up a prostitute, breaking into a car, having sex, then at the end the person you've seen the entire video though looks into a mirror and it's a chick. Crazy.
This is the coolest music video ever......well after Aisha. Hey Ya Charlie B! Gellie Man- Aisha Aisha
portishead- "only you" missy elliot- "sock it to me" sam's suggestion of "gimme some mo" from busta is a classic vid.
good picks on the Aphex picks. I also really like: QOTSA - Go with the flow Johnny Cash - Hurt Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood (and others)
Dire straits-Walk of life gorillaz- clint eastwood. I'm not that big of fan of video clips. Mostly it is just about getting a few girls in it who wear not enough clothes. Some songs are a success because of the clip. And i do not like it.
Megadeth - Sweating Bullets Ozzy Osbourne - Gets Me Through Meatloaf - I'd Do Anything for Love (But I won't do that) Coverdale/Page - Take Me For a Little While
