It has been known for a long time, music isn't only for listening, but also for watching. I am among those whom is more important the sound of the song. However, i don’t mind to watch a good quality video. And if the video is for song i especially like, then it’s a high score! Anyway, this is the list of 5 of my favorite music videos.

 

The White Stripes – The Hardest Button to Button

This video created by director Michel Gondry is one of the strangest videos i have ever watched.  This is not an animation, according to Gondry, they used 32 identical Ludwig drum kits, as well as 32 amplifiers and 16 microphone stands. Drum kits and guitar amps seems to come alive as they clone and reclone to the rhythm of the song that duo performs. Really a great music video!

 

Fatboy Slim – Weapon Of Choice

 

Christopher Walken, the most famous movie villian, shows his incredible dancing skills .I have never percieved him like dancer, because he doesn’t dance very much in his roles. But in this video, he shows his moves  on the table in the lobby, on the escalator and flying all over L.A. hotel. The man deserves an Oscar for performance in this music video. Outstanding!

 

Bjork – All Is Full Of Love

 

There is something weirdly beautifull and thrilling  about this video. When i first saw this video, the first thing that cross my mind was ‘Wow,maybe we (humans) could learn something from all of this! If robots can express their feelings and all is full of love, maybe there is still hope for mankind.’ We just have to share our emotions with others. I know that this is an animation, but who cares! If robots can kiss and caress each other, so we should do it, too.

 

Radiohead – Just

 

Music video meets film. To this day, this clip makes me uneasy. Why that man is lying on the pavement? What he told so everyone else lay down? Why subtitles has cut out at the crucial moment? Lots of questions, which leave me even more curious and intrigued every time i watched it. Unique Thom Yorke and Radiohead.

 

The Prodigy – Smack My Bitch Up

 

Enter the Void meets Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas – that’s how i feel about this clip. One crazy story shown through first person perspective. There is everything in this video – shocking scenes of drug usage, sex and violence, but hallo! -  girl is doing all the damage. Surreal and very powerful!!!
