Ok go! Have aan archive of songs that I don’t regularly listen to, but have really memorabele video clips. I likey them more for the videos than everything else.
Nigel Stanford has some amazing videoclips. I love Robots vs. Music the most (especially since the tune and the whole Automatica album is amazing), but Science vs. Music is also great.
And he also did a few making of videos. While I’m sure most of the final result is CGI anyway, it’s still a nice touch.
Weezer - Pork and Beans. As someone who wasn’t even alive during the era of YouTube when it came out, it is really mesmerizing seeing that day’s stars all in one place. Not to mention the actual video is super funny and well done. The ending scene is so cathartic. Plus the song itself is cathcy and has a nice message.
Björk have made some that are absolutely spectacular, she has a way of making you feel what she feels with her voice and the visual impressions, she pulls you into her world. She's one of those artists that are completely unique and deeply talented.
Death Grips? I love their music but their videos have always been incredibly boring for me, especially with Zach Hill’s background in video production and Stephan’s visual art background. Eh is the only song that comes to mind as having a good MV
I personally find the music video for Radioactive by Imagine Dragons to be absolutely hilarious. The juxtaposition of serious and nonsense is so good, it just gets me every time. Even though I think the actual song is way better as covered by Within Temptation. Seriously though, go watch that music video and tell me it’s not hilarious.
