Best Music Video Ever?

[Fifty]

What's the objectively best music video ever? Not your favorite, but the best? What criteria are you using? Are you sure they are the correct ones?

Spoiler the answer :

THIS ONE

Note: this thread is not about posting whatever video you think is best. It's about asking what your answer is, seeing if it is the correct one (see spoiler) and if not, trying to figure out how you made an error in ascertaining which one is the best one.

Wow Fifty, we must be kindred spirits. I just started a music thread too w/o having seen yours.

On topic, let me see what I can dig up.

Note: this thread is not about posting whatever video you think is best.

I just dug up four videos, I was going to dig up like 15 more. Oh well, I refuse to give up my hard work. I'll just hide them behind this spoiler tag.

Spoiler :

Here's a few :

Dre & Snoop : Still Dre : Will always remind me of college. :nostalgia

Ramones : I don't want to grow up

Prozacc : Sucks to be you (I'd never heard of this band in the 90's but saw the video a few years ago & kind of like it (color sucks on this copy for some reason)

Amish Paradise : It's a good video, you know it

I'd vote for Amish Paradise as #1 for creativity and humor. I'm sure I'll get lambasted for that but screw it. I can't think of one better atm.

Well, Fifty, your choise is certainly among the awesomest. I don't know if it's the best though.

Re : Fifty's choice. I kinda liked the song better b4 I saw the video.

 

[Arwon]

See I'm exactly the reverse.

The Belgian dude totally handpassed the bread!

Arwon's avatar's a pretty good video... TBH I don't know why I like it. Nothing happens in it. It's just... cool.

Bjork : All is full of love

Never thought about what the best is, but i love this one:
FatBoySlim - Right Here Right Now - awsome and funny
Loved it as a kid.

Sorry, Fifty, but you are wrong. Great video, sure, but it is not the best.

Frontier Psychiatrist is hard to beat but I'm gonna throw out Tonight Tonight by the Smashing Pumpkins.

[Chukchi Husky]

The only music videos I seen are all rubbish and make no sense.

 

[Arwon]

Me either now. It's fixed though.

 

[Mirc]

"Not available in my country" either...
