I remember listening to Foo Fighters(Everlong, Learn to Fly,…) and enjoying some music and having a laught at the video. Recently i discovered this:
Salvatore Ganacci - Step-Grandma
Which music video you, for the music or video production, would like to share ?
I’m not sure it’s possible to describe as much of the technology, digital culture and design of 1999 as well as this song and video did. I had long forgotten about it and many of the references it makes, thanks for reminding me!

It’s all about the Pentiums, baby.

I like a video that turns the camera around and features real people, and these were extra-special in the time before stuff like easy video production and streaming.
But I especially like what the band Cake did with Short Skirt/Long Jacket, where they went around letting people preview the song and give their reactions on camera. And the reactions were… actually pretty mixed.
Hilarious idea for a music video. Cake is just fun.
Miike Snow - Genghis Khan

The henchman carrying the ladder in the background stopping for 1 sec to go “aaah” is the best part. The next best part is whatever that dance move is called when the James Bond guy turns around from the wall and starts shaking his hand in time to the music.
Thank you for reminding me of this amazing video! Such a great track too.

Haha true, “My Trigger” from them is also nice.
Anything done by Michel Gondry, but this is a favorite: https://youtu.be/gLESpHrtvxs?si=zdeITwz-fe29LJlU
I just can’t imagine how much time was spent making that.

That is a band that i didnt listen for a long time, remember that The White Stripes - I Just Don’t Know What to Do With Myself caused a stir in mtv at release.

Basically anything Venjent. Some of the best non-mainstream music I have heard in decades.
Hmmm, I kinda like it. Ty.

Weezer - Pork and Beans is a really interesting snapshot of YouTube in the late 2000s; you see all the big people of the day doing trends of the day while singing with the members of Weezer. If that doesn’t sound awesome, I don’t know what is. Plus Hero by the same band is a really interesting pandemic video that is one of the few “artist tries to relate to normal people during lockdown” things which actually work.
If you couldn’t tell, Weezer is my favorite band.

You could watch every video that OK go ever made. They’re all stunning.
This one blew my mind. OK go - The one moment
Good one. One of the best on this thread.
Holly poops that was cool. If there truly was no editing after the fact, the lip-syncing on the flipbooks is impressive as hell, along with all of the effects going on in time with the beat. These guys are great.

I may get ridiculed for this, but it’s just so damn pop-tastic and fun. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you…

Gosh that’s weird.
HEY! You’re me! I mean, we’re us! Hello myself.
Catchy and fun pop, but honestly, the video seems a bit average? It might just be that I prefer fun catchy pop that makes me think just a tiny bit - like I did with Kyari Pamyu Pamyu when I first saw her. The thought being: “What just happened?”
Land of Confusion by Genesis. Made with super weird puppets of celebrities borrowed from a British TV show, timeless lyrics about how the world keeps getting dragged down by the people in it.

Just because I can, LOL.
That’s a good video lol.
Many have probably already seen this, but when I think of impressive music videos I think of “Biting Elbows - Bad Motherfucker”

Do movie/game soundtracks count?
i dont see why not 👍
Much of the music I happen to listen to is instrumental and/or comes from video games, with the occasional vocal song here and there, and if I had to share a music video it would be the finale song called Answers designed for the old release of Final Fantasy 14. Other things I’d share exist though.
I remember for a time I’ve listened to an internet radio station called RPGamers that specializes in game soundtracks, which most people listen to because the instrumentals make it easy to concentrate, and, perhaps because I needed a mood lightener, I’d spam requests for the Deckard Cain Rap, a silly rap song that plays as an Easter Egg in Diablo, to the eventually-discovered chagrin of listeners who without a doubt consider me a troll for it because the song for a while would get an overwhelming amount of dislikes/downvotes when it played. And just that tempts me to share that as well.
