Linkin Park - In The End Or RHCP - Californication
Both ahead of their time imo
So hypnotising!
Michel Gondry made some amazing videos, and one of my absolute favorites was Cibo Matto’s Sugar Water. Blew my mind the first time I saw it. https://youtu.be/EN9auBn6Jys
The music video i came to post in here is Lucas With The Lid Off, and it’s also a Michel Gondry video. Absolutely brilliant video.
Sugar Water is such a great song though. Cibo Matto was so good.
Same but his video for Kylie Minogue - Come into my world
I saw a video about how they did it. The madman shot it in one long take.
I just about to comment “Any by Michel Gondry or Chris Cunningham. Pick any one!”
Anything from The Work of Directors DVDs are great, Michel, Cunningham, Spike Jones, Anton Corbjin, Mark Romanek, etc.
Fantastically captures mankind’s eternal obsession with power and greed
Musically Pearl Jam didn’t quite scratch my itch even though I respected them as a band. Then this song and video dropped and has always been a favorite. The Spawn craze has died down a bit but this came out at the time McFarlane was huge and it was cool to see his style animated for the first time.
A powerful story telling music video.
While watching, I couldn’t help think that the animation style seems familiar. I felt it to be very close to the animation style of Batman: The Animated Series. And I was right.
Camo & Crooked - Afterlife (BCee Remix)
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.
Holy shit the 90s were wild
Ya… We had fun.
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]
Apparitions by Matthew Good Band will always be my favourite.
The band features as background for an after hours story in a skyscraper. Matt Good is the night janitor doing his rounds. A rich old white guy (I assume CEO or something) is at his desk, stressed. A prostitute arrives and gets access to the building, the security guard smirking.
Fast forward to her starting to undress and the CEO guy pulls a gun from his desk and shoots himself in the head. The prostitute runs away in a panic.
The video ends with a fade out showing the prostitute on the elevator security footage freaking the fuck out. The security guard and janitor are left gaping, unsure what to do.
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.
