The problem with music videos is crappy artists that make crappy music try to hide their music behind an artistic video. Or in other cases you have equally bad music videos complimenting bad music. Unless your music is artistic (like Tool's videos), don't make videos to go along with them.
Meaning of Life by The Offspring is amusing, and I found Pantera's video for their cover of Planet Caravan intriguing.

The best video by far is Smack My Bitch Up by Prodigy. End of discussion. It was obviously made just so it could be banned. I have to agree, other classics are Come To Daddy by Aphex Twin and Parabola by Tool. I first saw Parabola years ago (I think I was ten...) at 2 in the morning, and was confused for a week...

That Offspring video with the animated dog is cool.
I don't watch music videos. I diss public music channels, because they play only what's popular (okay occasionally they play something good, but that's a big minority percent of the videos played), and I'm not interested in that.
Also I think that music videos are mostly crap, and not needed to point out what the song wants to say.
However, I once saw Metallica's "One" music video, and thought it was quite good, since it represented quite well what the song is about, and also what the band is about.

I like to watch music videos - but the music videos I like usually relate to the music I'm currently listening to. Outkast in my opinion have some of the best rap/hip hop videos out. They have such awesome and fun music and their videos are just as equally fun. My favourite music video would have to be 'Hey Ya' but Outkast.
'Hit that' Omg i loved that video!Originally Posted by Spiffing Cheese
Ive seen 3 different versions of it.There are actually two European versions: One for Scandinavia and one for the rest of Europe... Just thought I'd tell you.
The UK/US Version
The Finnish Version
And the, EU 'Crow' Version
I love musicvideos. Some of my favorites are "Do the Evolution" by Pearl Jam, "The Earth Song", "Black or White", "Scream" and "Thriller" by Michael Jackson, and "Freak on a Leash" by KoRn.
The videos I really dislike are the ones that just have absolutely nothing to do with the song and are soley for us to stare at the supposely beautiful people singing the song (ie, the majority of Nsync/backstreet Boys/Britney Spears videos).
Also I don't like Radiohead's videos...particularly "Knives Out"...why? Because it scares the living crap out of me.
I like Kung-Fu.
Michael Jackson's Thriller is the best.
Of course I love Southbound Pachyderm by Primus and My Ass Is On Fire by Mr. Bungle.

Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" is the best music video ever.
Alien Ant Farm's "Smooth Criminal" is a close second.
