The music video as an art form has been in great decline, and it sucks.

I'll try to dig up some good ones when I get home.

And the moral of the story is, that bands with no talent can easily amuse idiots with a stupid puppet show.

I have the original CD before they had to change their name. :D Love me some Green Jello. :D

good video from back in the day

I think the reason for the lapse in good quality videos is due in part to...

Cost. I think the best era for music video's was during the 90's when people like Spike Jonze and John Glazer were on top of the game. You had hollywood quality production and effects. Nowaday it's too expensive to pull off so most go with CGI

Popularity. The music industry is more conservative than ever so it stays with the basic formula that combines outrageous partying and high defition slow-motion close ups a fake tits and ass. Sex sells.

that was pretty interesting
and ugh, I like sex an all, but I don't like it having the world by the balls

yeah I don't doubt most people do, the big problem is that it's so utterly plastic and fake. The dudes and chicks that youi see in 99% of pop music are made to be the poster children of what you, I and everyone else should strive to be. In reality however, the people that have this 'beautiful' appearence are some of the most uptight, egotistical and driest people you'll ever meet.

Not only that but every once and awhile we get videos that are so sexually contreverisal it makes you want to puke. I still think the best example would be Christina Aguleras 'Dirty' Video. It's 'supposedly' a video about sexual liberation when all I see is some douchebag jocks and meatheads bascially fucking her through her underwear.

Being in charge of your sexuality is a completely different then being a skank hoe who has nothing better to give the world than her body.


RAMPLE RAMBLE RAMBLE

I have not noticed this. I will now have to look carefully at all music videos.

I could make a list of good ones, but I am a bit lazy

Lazy like "Ahg I hate mondays" lazy. Or I'm-depressed-and-tired lazy?

lazy like too out f it to really coordinate myself yet

What, like a hangover or something?

I know what you mean, I like music videos that are artistic/original/creative or that have a plot going on. I can list them here but it will take me a while D:

While I don't necessarily think the song is Röyksopp's best, the video's cool. Here's "The Drug": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsOVsOjBsp4

Also, a couple by Mew:

Repeaterbeater (seriously, stay with this one): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JoUQ8ty3m0
156: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFjKALF454g

I adore 156, tc got me hooked on it a few months ago

Superfamily have some good videos, too.

"Warszawa": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1HVjuYodyk
"Taxi Dancing": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLbeWKVDeW8&feature=related

And finally:

Skambankt - O store dessverre: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5Dw9QAYR2o

El Caco - Substitute: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tDtCQN3TXE&feature=related

I've not seen any good ones from big labels in a while.

Maybe it's an overall lack of interest in the art. Maybe something else. Dunno. The result is the same: shit videos.

Not normally a fan of hip-hop, but this is worth noting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfo-EGDBEAY

I like OK GO's videos. I don't know that they're particularly relevant to the music, but they're at least fun to watch.

Best. Music Vid. EVAR! (sarcasm) this is probably one of the most retarded (and one of the most that i personally hate) to ever appear on my t.v. screen. Honestly what those directors think when they create their vids, most of 'em must be on crack.

I'm also tempted to link the music video for Pussy.
I mean it's a fucking music video porno. B]

No, huh?

Frankly, I've stopped being interested in music videos ever since the mid to late 90's. The 80's and early 90's had some of the best damn music videos in existence. Period. Hell, 'Thriller' beats the shit outta most movies nowadays. Honestly, what does that tell you when most movie producers these days can't create a fukkin feature-length film that's better than an 80's music video?

When was the last time you saw a film from Disney/Pixar that didn't make you want to check your brain for tumors? Sure Wall-E was good, but it still relied on too much humor to be that enjoyable for me. That's the problem with Disney films anymore, they're too kiddified and fart-joke-ridden to really be enjoyable. I'm really looking forward to "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole" though.

But I digress.. Music videos these days, with a few minor exceptions, are too hyped up and over sexed (Brittany Spears' Toxic anybody?), even if the songs themselves aren't that bad.

Nickelback is one of the few bands that I'll watch the videos for, as well as Rob Thomas. But not too many others.
