Favourite Music Videos

[drakonic]

I absolutely adore animated music videos. I think animation, as an artistic medium, is at its greatest when it can convey something as intangible as music. I only know a handful of them, but they are so near and dear to me and I'm always hungry to watch more!

Oh, I agree wholeheartedly! Also, I was obsessed with those gigi d'agostino music videos as a kid! (And still really really love them)

My current favourite is the music video for After the Dance by An Alien Called Harmony. I think it's really unique, and, well, I just love watching it from time to time.

This is one of my favourite music videos!

Virtual insanity as someone else mentioned is also a good pick!
So is the one for Fell in love with a Girl!
Already great picks in here so was hard to pick :D

I don't watch many music videos since to me they're often overwhelming to my senses and I struggle to watch them. Most of my favorites are ones that are much more simpler in terms of production and content because they don't have the overwhelming effect on me. My favorite one is for Might Makes Right from the Camper Van Beethoven album New Roman Times, and my second favorite is New Roman Times, also from the same album. Though without context as to what the album is about and listening to the other songs from it will likely leave you confused about its meaning.

classic

Frontier Psychiatrist - The Avalanches

[qrunchy]

Yes!! This is such a good one, really cool approach to animation. I was not aware that there were multiple in that style!

Oh yeah, I meant to add this one too...

* Tupper Ware Remix Party feat. Dan Avidan - Starlight Brigade:

Ugh this one is one of my faves, thank you for posting it!

classic

Frontier Psychiatrist - The Avalanches

Lol this was a blast from the past, I remember watching this all the time as a kid. My brother and I used to quote the song all the time xD

I LOVE music videos, I don't watch them too often but sometimes when I do I find myself falling in love all over again. Here are some of mine (gonna try not to post all of my faves LOL)

The first few are all animated, I love a good animated music video.

Night Runner - Magnum Bullets

Starlight Brigade reminded me of this video, another song featuring Dan Avidan.

Fever the Ghost - SOURCE

Zutomayo - Study Me

Panic at the Disco - Emperor's New Clothes

This is some of the coolest costume design I've seen in a mv, and I think the editing is awesome. It appeals to me in a very similar way to the fully animated ones.

OK Go - Needing/Getting

It's hard to pick just one OK Go video, they have a TON of excellent ones, I love so many of them. But this one blew my mind when I first saw it. It's not exactly a conventional music video, as the music is being performed in it, but I think it's really special.

Miike Snow - Genghis Khan

Finishing out with a classic, I'm sure a lot of yall have seen this one, but it's one of my all time faves

[purelyconstructive]

Ugh this one is one of my faves, thank you for posting it!

No problem! And thank you for posting Source by Fever The Ghost. I had seen the video before, but was trying to figure out what the band was named.

Another personal favorite...

[greedo7]

dirty dancer by orion sun

oh my god this is some peak fr. the vibes in this are hella appreciate-able. i found her off a 2020 mixtape and was obsessed with it for a while, tbh this is kind of a throwback 4 me to what i was listening to last summer.

[MrsMoe]

This a really recent example, but The Greatest Living Show's video is absolutely beautiful (plus it has Toby Fox!!!!)

I also love Sober by Tool and When You Die by MGMT~
