    Default Music Videos: A Dying Artform?

    Music videos are not taken advantage of as the opportunities to create great cinematographic art as frequently as they once were. I want this thread to be a haven for unique, artistic, iconic and influential music videos. The old thread has been lost so feel free to repost the videos that were already here. Please try to limit the amount of videos to no more than 4 per post, for aesthetic and ergonomic reasons. Also, please make sure to write the name of the song underneath so people know what theyre listening to.



    All Caps



    Here It Goes Again (aka The Treadmill Song)



    Billie Jean

    I'm not much into rap, but Busta Rhymes is just great - anyway some more:

    Takes two minutes until the music starts, but a great vid:



    Aphex Twin - Rubber Johnny


    Christopher Walken:



    Fatboy Slim - Weapon of choice

    Some reconstruction work of the lost thread:



    Chemical brothers - get yourself high

    And the video I made my current sig from: NIN - closer

    Video Killed the Radio Star. The first music video played on the (once) iconic and culturally significant network dedicated to nothing but music....MTV.



    When Thriller came out, it was considered the maturation point of the art of music videos

    Actually, "Music videos" as an artform date back to 1920 - the term is around since 1959...

    yeah...well technically music videos have been around since way before MTV, but I dont consider them to have reached mainstream recognition until that point.


    They certainly didnt attain legitimate recognition as an artistic medium until Thriller...

    Of course you're right on the mainstream recognition, but I doubt that mainstream recognition has anything to do with legitimate recognition of artistic media.

    Anyway - some more reconstruction:

    To debunk this thread further, the lovely world of YouTube has given us the marvellous variant on the music video: the film of a turntable playing a 'choon'. I defy you not to do some 1991-style faststep bigfishsmallfishbox tomfoolery to this...

    ...or some "yes I really have drunk the whole bottle of scotch. Are you a west brom fan or just a ****?" skanking to:
