Hey everybody! Thanks for watching this video on "My Favorite Music Videos of All-Time". In this video I'm talking about a bunch of different ways that the medium of music videos works its magic. Whether you're doing some kind of artistic short film, a traditional lip-sync, something super vague and metaphorical, or you wanna test out your creative chops and mix & match these things...the possibilities are endless. From Lady Gaga and Kendrick Lamar, to Bjork and Carly Rae Jepsen, Young Thug to Daft Punk, Rick Astley to OutKast and everybody in between -- here are some of my favorites! Let me know what yours are down below.

2D animation in music videos is really cool. I remember being entranced by the Gorillaz videos when i was a kid. Super influential and timeless stuff. And thanks for the video btw.
what godzilla videos?
@@einar9994 I'm not sure man. U tell me.
Gorillaz the best i'm forever grateful that i grew up with them
@@LieLikesMusic i read gorillaz as godzilla for some reason
At The Door by The Strokes is the recent example of that
personally I'd definitely add a Michael Jackson video in there somewhere. Dude really laid out the blueprint for extravagant music videos with high production value. He legit treated them like short films
@Jugizet absolute banger. Scream is also pretty sick
Thriller would probably have to be the one mentioned.
@@mrmysterion5533 oh for sure. That or Billie Jean and Beat it. Generally speaking, everything he did for the Thriller album kinda set a new standard for how heavily music videos can support an album
I dont think he even likes mjs music
@@qdominika7253 why?
Just because he puts Prince above MJ doesn't mean he dislikes MJ completely
a boy is a gun by tyler the creator is honestly a cinematic masterpiece
Went from my least favourite on the album to one of my favourite songs after watching the video a few times
gun*
@@georgewright199 gun**
Ah that's why Biden likes kids
@@scottphillips7795 lmfao what
Always loved the music video for The Weeknd's "False Alarm" and that's exclusively because it was directed by Ilya Naishuller, the same guy who directed Hardcore Henry.
I also adore the video for BROCKHAMPTON's BUZZCUT. It's abstract visuals are so incredibly creative.
Bro , are you gonna be uploading more videos anytime soon or are you done with the RUclips 🤔?? 🤷♂️
One of my faves too
miss u boo~
false alarm is SO SCARY. the entire thing is a giant TW, it’s so cool
The Weeknd's "False Alarm" was a bold move considering its age restricted
Once In A Lifetime - Talking Heads
edit: all talking heads for that matter
They really understood how to make a killer music video
Once in a Lifetime, Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer, A-ha's Take On Me, Michael Jackson's Thriller, and Dire Straits' Money for Nothing are the most innovative videos of the 80s and some of my favorite music videos of all time
My favorite video ever since MTV debuted! Nobody has been able to do it better.
Talking Heads were so underrated.. they really were out on their own - very talented and original.
Cellophane is honestly so beautiful why didn’t it win a grammy?
Because they picked old town road, just a famous mv
Frrrr like i have goosebumps every time i watch it so beautiful:')
All Caps - Madvillain
Hey Ya - Outkast
A BOY IS A GUN* -Tyler, The Creator
I've Seen Footage - Death Grips
Karma Police - Radiohead
Alright - Kendrick Lamar
Virtual Insanity - Jamiroquai
Once in a Lifetime - Talking Heads.
There are more but this is a sample of my favorite music videos.
When you're dead - Mgmt
All caps when you spell the mans name
Asap forever
I love Karma Police
All caps?🤨
I think you forgot the GOAT of music videos. MJ pushed the music video format to the next level. My personal favorite of his is Scream with Janet
I think his best video overall is smooth criminal one. Its like his own little musical.
My favorites are Bad, Beat it, Billie Jean, and Black or White.
thriller was basically the first one so it cannot go unmentioned.
Nah. “Video Killed the Radio Star” came out years before Thriller. It was the first video featured on MYV.
@@adrianatgaming8640 it can go unmentioned if it's not one of your favorites 🤷🏻♂️
A$AP Rocky got some of my favorite music videos. L$D, A$AP Forever, and Praise The Lord are all super dope.
Yamborgini high 😤
Tony Tone,Fukk Sleep,RAF,Money Man and Peso as well
praise the lord’s music video blew my mind
Excuse me always struck me as a very aesthetically pleasing music video
Even Fukk sleep is fire !!
I'm so early that Harrison hasn't referred to any of Kanye's videos yet, lol.
Keep up the good work, tho🎌
Same
Don’t worry he does 😂
Gaga has some of the best music videos oat, and I’m glad people are aware of that
I’m also happy that Alejandro was given some love. It’s a great music video and I think people forget that because Bad Romance was so well done
@@christiancage7431 yes, between bad romance, telephone and alejandro it does get the least amount of attention. shame.
911 blew me away. 😭
Okay but any of A$AP Rocky’s videos could definitely be on this list, all of them are wildly beautiful
very true especially lsd and sundress
asap forever video is the best music video if you’re talking film technique imo
The kid turned out fine is also brilliant, all the magic of Dexter Navy
All these videos are next level on Shrooms lol
Yeh L$D, Sundress, Babushka Boi (if that’s how u write it) & Everyday
The Jamiroquai video was achieved by the camera being attached to a small set that moved about a larger room. So the floors are never actually moving, it's all the walls, but because Jamiroquai's dancing is so good, he effectively gave the impression that he's moving about on a moving floor.
Can't emphasize enough on how much I love the mise en scène in Humble by Kendrick, while rappers usually rely on fast editing to convey dominance and look hard, Kendrick can hold a shot for 15-20 seconds and still be powerful. that shot with all the mens bald heads is incredible
Every music video for Daft Punk's Discovery, played in album order tells one big cohesive story and thats why it'll always be the top of my list.
This is actually because they are broken up from an actual film. The album was made into a film called Interstella 5555. It's really good
@@lochlanhanham8308 They aren't broken up. The movie was done as a companion of the album. Daft Punk Discovery served as inspiration, not the contrary.
Rammsteins Deutchland made me rewatch it 6 times in a row
Yeah was a little shocked it wasnt on this list
Omg i was about to post it abd then i found you.
Auslander, Du Hast and Amerika have realy cool videos too but man Deutchland hits hard
Yeah ok, but have you seen “Cookie Monster sings Du Hast”?
I feel like music videos are kind of a gateway into the artists mind and where they were at when making the song
To me, the BEST music video ever is Johnny Cash - HURT. Something about it just fucks me up bad. The fact he's basically DYING of old age while recording the video is just heartbreaking. And the editing and cinematography also really shows his regrets with his life of being a famous folk singer and songwriter, knowing that all of that fame is for nothing at the end.
Absolutely, Johnny Cash is a legend.
That’s a music video that gets me upset every time
The Ghost of You transition from dance floor to ocean water running across the screen rivals some of the best feature film transitions
Kanye’s “no church in the wild” and daft punk’s “instant crush” both have amazing videos
Runaway, the long version, is really beautiful and well done also.
Bold of you to talk about music videos and not mention Michael Jackson.
Yeah, weird.
Fr. MJ legit revolutionized music videos and the story telling in them. So many iconic vids 💫
Agreed
Underrated comment
The video is called "My favorite music videos", it's not the best, or the most influential, it's just his favorites. Thats why, I guess.
The story of oj and this is america are easily some of the best modern music videos period
@Joe good for you dweeb 🤣 want a cookie?
The music video Cloudbusting by Kate Bush.
It’s like the best music video that could be a short film ever.
He seems to think that the name of the song is cloudBURSTing
Can't go wrong with Donald Sutherland!
Now we just need a playlist with all those music videos
Fka twigs videos are absolutely a spiritual experience. Home to you made me cry so hard. I also suggest Panda bears boy latin if you like trippy visuals and animation. Radiohead's just is such a intresting and mysterious video.
I still imitate Christopher Walken's dance moves to this day lmao
Clipping not only has great stories within songs, some impressive experimental hip hop, and some great videos.
Also the unsettling videos of Jack Stauber
I made a short list of favorites, but "Tonight, Tonight" by the Smashing Pumpkins is a beautiful homage to one of the first films ever made. Its imagery crossed with the theatrical goth/alt sound of the music is amazing. The peak of the orchestral music near the end followed by soft guitar strumming gives me chills.
Music and music video really on another level
Some of my favourites are
Aphex twin- rubber Johnny
MGMT- Little dark age
The Strokes- Ode to the Mets
Radiohead- karma police
Stromae - quand c'est. This just looks really artistic
Stromae - papatoui. Most beautiful of the two
Some of my favorite music videos are Jewelry by Blood Orange, Nikes from Frank Ocean and Cellophane and Sad Day by FKA Twigs. Side note, FKA Twigs has gotta have the most underrated music videos ever. So artistic and well shot / acted. Specially Sad Day which was directed by Hino Murai, the director behind tv shows like Donald Glover’s Atlanta and HBO’s Barry.
chihuahua
Fka twigs videos are so beautiful. Andrew Huang is one of my favourite directors. I really love home with you. So beautiful and emotional
nikes has a music video?
@@astrobb6s610 yes but it’s not on youtube for some weird reason, you gotta search it on vimeo
ASAP Rocky and Travis Scott have some pretty dope ass music videos 🔥🔥
Taylor Swift's look what you made me do is quite amazing
My favorites (not including the ones you mentioned which I also like):
Radiohead - Man of War
Radiohead - Daydreaming
Tons of people - Frontier Psychiatrist Reanimated
They Might Be Giants - Unpronounceable
IDLES - Colossus
Crumb - Locket
Edit: IDLES - War
Honestly I’m not even huge in colossus but that music video was fantastic, just love the imagery 👏
Check out Deutschland by Rammstein. That video is packed full of lore and symbolism in one epic rendition of the history of Germany.
Five Finger Death Punch's A Little Bit Off about making the best out of a bad situation in the background of the pandemic, and Puscifer's Apocalyptical for ...just watch it.
I can't believe "Baby I'm yours" by Breackbot wasn't on the list. The animation is sureal, smooth, and honestly breathtaking.
a lot - 21 Savage ft. J. Cole is up there for me, it just paints a great picture to an incredible track
How “subterranean homesick blues,” isn’t on this list is beyond me. One of the most original and classic videos of all time.
One of the first!
Revolution 909 by daft punk is one of my favourites
It takes a girl leaving a rave encountering a cop, and she notices there’s a sauce stain on his shirt.
Then the rest of the music video shows a tomato growing, being harvested and processed, being sold in a store, being bought and cooked into a pasta sauce, then it shows how the cop spilled sauce on his shirt.
It’s the best kind of weird
My all-time fav music video is Nirvana - Heart-Shaped Box.
Mine too
Come to Daddy by Aphex Twin and My People by The Presets are both examples of electronic songs with really trippy visuals in their music videos
Surprised there was no Lana Del Rey mention, her videos are always an experience
2:25 I feel like the fact that he worked on Breaking Bad, and more specifically Ozymandias, often gets left out here. Sadly Rian's gotten a bad reputation because a lot of people didn't like the new Star Wars movies but they forget he played a big part in creating literally one of the best tv episodes of all time
one of the most vivid memories i have from my childhood is sitting on my dads bed in his apartment watching the alejandro music video on his bulky 2000s tv
That Aphex Twin's Windowlicker short characterisation was on point :D
"Come To Daddy" has a fantastic video.
Rammstein - Deutschland is fantastic. Many hidden references
beyond grateful for this video, thanks! Been hooked on Brockhampton vids lately and I've started to fall back in love with music videos
i loved the span of videos you used- from the different genres and visual techniques! it definitely gives me a different way of looking at music videos!
Star Guitar - The Chemical Brothers - Crazy Concept
Run Boy Run - Woodkid - He did it himself and it's just beautiful
aries has such a distinct music video style, love every one of them
One - Metallica. When it came out it was unlike anything and uses the monochrome color and movie clips in the best ways possible.
That video creeped me the hell out back in the day!
So happy someone else remembers that avalanches song and clip! It was a fever dream. I also loved Daft Punk’s Big City Nights and Whitetown’s ‘Your Woman.’
Naughty by Irene & Seulgi has some of the best choreography I’ve ever seen in my life
I loved the choreo (probably my favorite from them) but I think Red Velvet have better music videos tho
I AGREE!
I totally agree but like others I would argue that rv has better music videos, beyond just the choreography. I think that some their mvs like Russian Roulette, Peek-a-Boo, ect. are really incredible because of they create unique concepts we associate with Red Velvet. Even their happy songs are just weird enough that they fit into their perfectly created and unique concept
Baby Keem - Hooligan is a great video for a great song. It’s simple, but it’s so dope how he has models rapping the song while he is sitting there with a disinterested expression on his face.
i love when artists use mvs to make a world and when certain videos connect together it's just satisfying to me
I’ve always loved “Razzmatazz” by idkhow, it’s equally modern and extremely 90s.
Music videos is genuinely one of the coolest genres of film imo so much cool stuff is made with the neat songs
The kids turned out fine by A$ap rocky is a great music video
That Aries mv in the beginning got me off guard
Love to see Aries getting recognition he deserves
Omg thanks I discovered some great mvs thanks to this video and more specifically OK Go's amazing videography/discography 😍
Toro Y Moi's Rose Quartz & MGMT's When You Die are top tier psychedelic experiences.
“Sacrilege” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs is easily one of the greatest music videos ever.
Also love “Afterlife” by Arcade Fire with their live, in-one-take masterpiece.
I'm so happy that you mentioned OK Go. I really love their videos and music and I think it's a crime that so many people haven't seen their masterpieces yet
False Alarm by The Weeknd is my personal favorite. Super creative work with a drone plus the first person POV they used for the whole thing, with action happening at all the right times. It’s something straight out of a video game almost.
The Hi This is Flume visualizer deserves a shoutout. Imo the greatest music video of all time is Hurt by Johnny Cash though. A haunting look back at the flaws, love, and life of a legend made all the more powerful by the masterful editing.
YES FLUME
Love the circles by posty vid, the song is about well things repeating with relationships and that but the video is about war and violence just expands on the songs meaning 👍
Breezeblocks by Alt-J has always been one of my favorites, it's super interesting how they tried to tell a story in reverse from the ending and I had to watch that video like three times over to piece together everything that was going on
i fully expected This Is America to be on this list since its the only song that really comes to mind that is a true multimedia experience, where neither the song nor the video work without the other.
oh, and this one definitely isnt like advancing of the medium or anything, its just a personal beloved one: Genghis Khan by Miike Snow
A song that would have been nice to see here would have been Deutschland by Rammstein. Great cinematography and a critical take on Germany's history
This is america and UNLOCKED are some of my favourite recent rap music videos
we watched ok gos this too shall pass in science when we were learning about rube golberg machines, and that video has stuck with me so much, to the point that when i feel sad, ill go back and watch it, mostly for the final shot of the crew that worked on it cheering and celebrating how well the video went!
The Bachelorette music video is what got me into Björk! It got reccommended to me on youtube randomly and I was hooked.
My Machines by Battles ft. Gary Numan deserves a mention. I've never seen a man fall down the escalator for 4 minutes before.
Walk in the park live is also pretty cool, love his intensity.
Kendrick’s got some insane MVs
woah i love the avalanches and that video, I never thought I would see it in a compilation like this. I am so thrilled
thx for including oh baby. the music video is soooo good
virtual insanity music video is just phenomenal
I've always loved the music video for "once in a lifetime" by Talking Heads. The video feels hypnotic and so entertaining. He preforms gestures and ritual like actions like a speaker at a church or holy place would preform. Its an all around great video in my opinion.
- 6:12 That effect was used in Wang Chung's Everybody Have Fun Tonight video
Weapon of choice by fatboy slim was my introduction to fat boy slim and i haven't looked back since, that video is fucking electric
Some of my favourite music videos (in no particular order) would be:
Deutschland by Rammstein
The Universal by Blur
Read My Mind - The Killers
Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve
Angels - Robbie Williams
ariana grande's god is a woman and no tears left to cry are some of the best pop music videos of the last decade. some of my favorites also include MJ's thriller, travis' sicko mode and beyoncé’s formation
facts
ooo taste i see? nah but fr god is a woman is such a masterpiece, you can tell how thought out the music video is
Formation is pure genius, but then again, Melina Matsoukas is one of the greatest music video directors of all time. There's really only Hype Williams, Jonas Åkerlund and Sophie Muller at her level.
People don’t give One Last Time’s video enough credit either.
Great video, the pacing was fantastic
I love all types of music, randomly found your channel. Glad I did! Subbed! Keep up the great work!
New Lands by Justice, Time To Dance by The Shoes, and Turbo Killer by Carpenter Brut. Turbo Killer is especially visually spectacular and fits so well with what Carpenter Brut was doing with his Trilogy album
I saw Turbo Killer as the short to kick off Blood Machines and both were so visually stunning and a perfect fit with the music.
My top 3:
- Vogue (Madonna)
- Bad Romance (Lady Gaga)
- Thriller (Michael Jackson)
Thriller is the reason those other 2 vids exist
I always just imagine my own visuals for Frontier Psychiatrist and never thought to actually look for a music video. Thanks for that and all the other recommendations.
Awesome video! As someone who has loved music videos since before MTV existed- HBO's Video Jukebox, anyone? - I really appreciated this. Also, glad to see Frontier Psychiatrist.
If you ever do something like this again, you should include at least one Rammstein music video. Most of their videos are SUPER over the top, and that isn’t a bad thing at all, since that always means awesome visuals and crazy storylines attached to them.
With the Hey Ya video, I think it just adds to the meaning behind the song itself. We're having fun just like the people in the audience dancing to the song without really listening to what he's saying.
Also I've been binging your videos, I love these
was hoping you’d mention OK Go. i was obsessed with their music videos as a kid
Benjamin Clementine's "I won't complain" is absolutely haunting. He is kind of a haunting guy in general
Some of my favourites
Jay-Z - The Story of OJ - The aesthetic is unmatched and the visuals are the best I’ve seen in a mv
Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy & Enei - Sinking - These are both just terrifying
Flying Lotus - Putty Boy Strut & Noisia - Could This Be - I love this cyclical stuff in music videos, I’m sure there’s so many more
Kendrick Lamar - HUMBLE & Stormzy - Sounds of the Skeng - Cool rap videos with cool shots are cool
Mura Masa - Wherever You Go - because I’m British and that’s reason enough
Porter Robinson - Shelter - One of the most emotional experiences I’ve ever had listening to music
All the Daft Punk anime/esque stuff - because
And OKGO’s everything
The ghost of you was super amazing. Especially that dance to wave transition. The acting is also amazing, i heard gerard imagined his brother was dying for real in that final scene.
Few surprises in here but I agree with a lot of these. Watched them all and still love watching these and showing new people.
for me, Square Hammer by Ghost is a jewel in the metal genre. The green pallette, whack acting and cinematography are perfect
my other favorites are:
Papaoutai by Stromae
Thriller by Michael Jackson
Gibberish by MAX (this is truly a masterpiece)
Cracker by Gorillaz
and a bunch more
If there’s a part 2 I feel like this is America by childish Gambino is a good fit
Steven Wilson - Drive Home may be my all-time favorite. The whole narrative and visuals fit the music perfectly! (also the video of The Raven That Refused To Sing is gorgeous as well)
Chemical Brothers "Let Forever Be" is one of the only videos I've had to rewatch a bunch of times just for the video (I usually rewatch for the great tune, but this video is out there. simple and clever)
*DAFT PUNK* also have some wicked videos in their catalogue 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥....
