    Default Watching music

    We all know that a good music video can be important for album sales these days. The quality of music videos is very various, though. What is your opinion on music videos? Which music video is your favorite, and which one is your least favorite?

    Björk generally makes wonderful (and certainly) videos of high artistic quality. I don't like the videos ,where basically, the singer does nothing but hold a microphone for 4 minutes.

    I like music videos with screaming and crying and dancing.

    I dunno my favourite music video. I do like Everybody's Fool by Evanescence a lot. It's cool, Amy takes roles of different people.

    The only music videos I've ever cared about were Nirvana music videos. Don't quite know why either.

    Well, I can't have much of an opinion on them, since there's no station that really plays them anymore. But to answer the question...I like really creative music videos. That includes odd visuals, or replacing the band with....paper, legos, whatever. It makes it easier to watch, because Vh1 and MTV have a habit of playing twhatever videos they have over and over again. I'm not a huge fan of them.

    I don't have a favorite music video, but my least favorites are ALMOST any rap video, because they're all exactly the same. I really cannot tell the difference. Boring.

    Ok, yes, Rabbit In Your Headlights is probably the second best video ever.

    Hmm. I still need to see that one.

    Radiohead's "No Surprises" video and Gorillaz's "Feel Good Inc." come to mind when I think of really good videos.

    Videos have ruined music. However, Spike Jonze's videos are class. (The one that most immediately comes to mind is Weezer's "Buddy Holly").

    Ultimately, Vin Diesel is responsible for nearly everything in this world, either good or evil.

    There are actually two European versions: One for Scandinavia and one for the rest of Europe... Just thought I'd tell you.
