Really good music videos seem to be few and far between. These are some music videos I particularly like. I'd also love to know any great videos which I havn't included as I may not have seen them and I do like a good music video(I also have a terrible memory so they may have just slipped my mind!) Will also update the list to include your faves.
(This doesn't mean I am necessarily a fan of the songs!!)
any of the britney spears video's gets my vote. phworrrrr!
Some great choices here!
A few from the days when MTV showed videos:
REM - Losing My Religion (Perhaps the best ever, despite starting the now-annoying white-flash trend)
Bob Dylan - Subterrean Homesick Blues (perhaps this and REM's should just settle for a tie)
U2 - The Fly
Michael Jackson - Billie Jean (Those lit squares were very cool... Plus, this one got African-Americans on MTV; too often over-looked in favor of the over-rated, bloated Thriller)
Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer
Beastie Boys - Sabotage
Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend
Madonna (Gee, pick one. She, like Bjork, has almost always created innovative eye candy; Express Yourself, perhaps?)
Don Henley - Boys of Summer (also, one of the most under-appreciated 80s singles; pure pop perfection, and cool video)
The Cars - You Might Think (This one ruled MTV for a few years; doesn't hold up quite as well as the others I've listed, but you really couldn't escape it for a long time)
INXS - Need You Tonight / Mediate
Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares to You (Minimal chic, and that head...)
Tom Waits - I Don't Want to Grow Up (I'm not sure anybody saw this one, though.)
Just a few great ones I remember. I'll shut up now.
Shalom, y'all!

Some good videos there and some I havn't seen which I'll be on the lookout for. Have to say I find Sinead O'Connor's Nothing compares video very irritating - but each to their own!
Can't believe I forgot about Losing my Religion, great video which has now been added to the poll!
Another two that have always stuck with me, probably tied for "Best" in my world: "Human Behavior" by Bjork, and "Close to Me" by The Cure.
That last one too, is a testament to a lack of special effects.
Thanks, these are two I havn't seen and will have to look out for!
My fave Bjork might be Hyperballad... I don't know; Bachelorette is pretty cool too.
I own Volumen, so I'm obviously a hooked sucker!
Shalom, y'all!
