I love lists. I picked 100 Music Videos Because I Love Them A Lot.
Say “MTV should play music videos again!” because everybody does.
Picks are qualified by sheer admiration, sentimentality and visual/aural experience.
I like what I like.
Spoiler: Bjork and Chris Cunningham are really, really, really good at music video-ing. So is David Fincher. So is Mark Romanek. So is Spike Jonze. You knew that, though.
Favorites / Top picks at the end of the entry, so it gets better as you go along.
Enjoy!
100. Beastie Boys // Sabotage // Dir. Spike Jonze
Arguably the best music video of all time, I just want to get this out of the way so I can show you guys other stuff.
