So hypnotising!
I don’t even care for the band that much, but the video is still really cool.
Oh I also forgot about this one which I did like a lot.
Hard tie between three different ones.
Particle Man - They Might Be Giants
Experimental Film - They Might Be Giants
Those are tied for top three for me.
It’s not a music video as much as it is an animation animated to match the song ( or vise versa, IDK ), but runner up would be Jason Honingford’s Squirrel Funk.
EDIT:
Replaced the Squirrel Funk link with an older video because the one I originally linked was done poorly with AI enhancement.
Jackson Wang- Come Alive
Beautifully choreographed dances, has dark and sinister vibe, beautifully shot and performed, and well edited. Totally worth checking it out
Jeff Satur- Fade (Thai Ver.)
Beautifully shot. Old-timey, soft aesthetic. Has a melancholic, sad vibe. A song about heartbreak and love. Also worth listening! (This was the song that got me thru my lowest time)
Peter Gabriel- Sledgehammer
Prodigy: Smack My Bitch Up 1997 uncensored.
I’ve had that album on CD since it came out, yet I’ve never seen this video. That was mesmerizing.
I saw the premiere on MTV, it was late after Liquid Television if I remember right. I remember seeing a disclaimer, never saw one before or since on MTV. There it was. It’s a ride for sure.
Star Guitar by the Chemical Brothers.
Since then I need to have perfect synchronization between sound and sight, I’d love to have the real world in sync with the music I’m listening to. It would be my own personal musical.
Camo & Crooked - Afterlife (BCee Remix)
Resonant Chamber by Animusic
I’ve heard the song before and like it. But I hadn’t seen the music video until today. That was an amazing music video.
Animato Fashionation by MIke Jittlov. Shot on 16mm film before music videos were a thing. Music: “I Know A Place” sung by Petula Clark. 3 minutes approx.
Terrible but watchable transfer with awful sound, especially near the beginning:

Also, a much fancier one, “Midichlorian Rhapsody”, a Star Wars parody of Bohemian Rhapsody. Home studio music production with one guy playing almost all of the instruments, sync’d to video clips from Star Wars movies. Recaps the whole stupid prequel series in 6 minutes. Brilliant, absolutely pro level performances.
There’s something about the video for Len’s “Steal My Sunshine” that’s just very comforting to me. I don’t think it’s just nostalgia, because this is how I felt when I first saw it back in the 90’s, too.

interesting trivia:
The song’s music video—which uses the shorter “album edit” of the song, as featured on the single—was jointly directed by Marc Costanzo and Bradley Walsh under the respective stage names “The Burger Pimp” and “B-Rad”.[30] When Len had signed to Work Records, one of its demands was to be able to direct its own videos.[7] The group used a $100,000 budget to make the video. They flew to Daytona Beach, Florida[5] with two dozen friends while the area was crowded with people on their spring vacations. They spent much of the budget on alcohol, buying so much that they broke their hotel’s elevator trying to lift it.[5] They shot the video in the afternoon so that they could recover from hangovers in the morning and drink in the evening. The scenes were shot without a script or storyboard. In the video, Len and friends are shown relaxing together and riding on scooters, go-karts, and jet skis.
Motorrad, whose scooters were included in the music video, later held a promotion giving away scooters of the same model.[7] At the 1999 MuchMusic Video Awards, “Steal My Sunshine” won awards for Best Video, Best Pop Video, and Favourite Canadian Video.[32]

Knights of Cydonia by Muse made me reconsider my assumptions on how good the production quality of a music video can be. Honestly, a better plot than Cowboys Versus Aliens.
