In honor of pearl jam releasing a music video for life wasted, I decided to start a topic; who do you think makes the most interesting music videos?

For me, I feel that the White Stripes make incredible music videos. They are visually striking, and really original.

I also realy enjoy Beck's music videos. Like his music, they are eclectic and fun.

    The foo fighters have some pretty good videos. I agree with smashing pumpkins too. The RHCP have great videos.

    Weezer used to make the best videos til "Make Believe"

    I'd agree with Smashing Pumpkins,Beastie Boys and NIN too..love Marilyn Manson and Beck videos as well.

    I've always liked Dave Matthews Band's videos. Crush is one of my favorite videos.

    yeah tool make really good videos, just like their album art there is a massive amount of work put into them.
    The wind is blowing cold
    Have we lost our way tonight?
    Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

    Feels like were all alone
    Running further from what’s right
    And there are no more heroes to follow

    So what are we becoming?
    Where did we go wrong?

    some of the best videos are made by 'eletronic music' artists.

    just to name three of the most commom ones: (but there are lots of others to see)

    aphex twin - 'come to daddy'

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLw2-O4i-Hk&search=aphex%20twin%20come

    the chemical brothers - 'the golden path'

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79V6qnih-0M&search=the%20golden%20path

    prodigy - 'voodoo people'

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTcI9-dI7AQ&search=prodigy%20voodoo%20people

    and i can't forget the video for 'rabbit in the headlight' from the u.n.k.l.e. project (with vocals by thom yorke) with some guy been run over by the cars with that sad song been playing in the background.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3ClCwcCvdQ&search=unkle

    and bjork have some great videos by her own.




    but if you ask me, a band that seems to be unable to make 1 good video at
    least is 'oasis'.

    Not really sure, but I think I must agree.

    the foo's and blink 182 make the funniest vids...

    also enjoy some of soundgarden's
    ...Pearl Jam, a group filled with pride, passion, and intricate musicianship. Their music is full of subtle textures, rich color, soul-searching power, imagery, and eerie dissonance.

    i don't think any artist has consistently made good videos, but the white stripes are generally pretty good. My favorite videos would have to be a tie between Blur's coffee and tv, and Smashing Pumpkin's 1979

    Tool easily hands down. But I have to agree that Manson makes some pretty good ones.
    are you getting something out of this all encompassing trip?

    Beck makes a cameo appearence in The Hardest Button To Button video.:)

    I liked Beck's video for New Pollution.
    QOTSA make good videos as well especially Monster In Your Parasol and Go With The Flow.
