What is the most impressive music video you've ever seen?

I read that as repulsive instead of impressive imao

It’s not the biggest or best, but I’ve always found the effect on “Always” by blink-182 to be pretty effective

Ok Go, just about any of their videos are worth watching, even if you don’t care about their music

My personal vote is The One Moment.

38 minutes later with NO CGI, this holds up as one of the greatest references of all time

Dire Straits Money for Nothing was amazing at the time. Turn Down for What is amazing in its own way. Smashing Pumpkins Tonight, Tonight. Michael Jackson had a few good ones.

Fun fact: the Director of the “Turn Down For What” video ended up directing “Everything Everywhere All At Once”.

And the extremely underrated “Swiss Army Man” featuring a fart-propelled Harry Potter raft.

One of the Daniels directed “The Death of Dick Long”, which might be the best mystery movie I’ve ever seen. Go in blind mister and, hands down, you won’t be disappointed if you like mystery movies.

Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity is pretty impressive when you find out how they filmed it.

Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt by NiN

The video is beautiful, but the story, and timeline of cash’s later life, is heartbreaking.

It’s not flashy, it’s not in your face, but it evokes feelings in most people, and tells a story.

wild boys by Duran Duran cuz of the time it was made

Poets of the Fall - Carnival of Rust

Blockhead - The Music Scene is just incredible

Christopher Walken is so good in Weapon of Choice that he made me like the song https://yewtu.be/watch?v=wCDIYvFmgW8

Tyfud, 9 months ago

This was the first one I thought of too.

Did you know that Christopher Walken used to be a professional tap dancer? The parts of the video where he’s doing that are 100% him.

Beastie Boys - Sabotage My favorite music video of all time, probably

jrwperformance, 9 months ago

I think the MTV era from the 80s to early 90s had the most creative videos. Likely because there was a bit more of a demand for music videos back then. You really had to stand out when your only platform at the time was MTV. As far as favorite music videos, I’ve always been a fan of Tool’s weird-ness.
