Don't have a lot of time this week, so I don't really have a reason for this one, just went with something easy. Top 5 Videos Of All Time. For those of you who don't know what a video is, its those things that MTV used to play but know you can only find on YouTube...
5. Weapon Of Choice - Fat Boy Slim www.youtube.com/watch?v=oF5cBoAV5Ys
This is the one with Christopher Walken dancing all over the place. Pure Comedy! Spike Jones is a music video genius. This is, as you will find out, was his second best video.
4. November Rain - Guns N Roses www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SbUC-UaAxE&ob=av3e
I always enjoyed this video, even though my enjoyment of Guns N Roses is very hit or miss. It is extremely cinematic even though I don't think anyone knows what story Axel was trying to tell. It's beautiful and emotional none the less.
3. Here It Goes Again - Ok Go www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTAAsCNK7RA
In all honesty, this might be a career achievement award. Pick a video, Here It Goes Again, A Million Ways, White Knuckles, either of the two This Too Shall Pass. Ok Go have become the master on the one shot video. I enjoy there music more because of their genius making videos. This is the one that put them on the map.
2. Take On Me - Aa-Ha www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EXxMlIExpo
It is hard for me to put this one at number two because it's been around so much longer then all the others, but it just isn't better then number one. This video was so far ahead of it's time as far as creative story telling videos went. Most people point to Thriller, but this was much better and less ostentatious. Fuck Michael Jackson, whoever came up with this video was a true pioneer.
1. Sabotage - Beastie Boys www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5rRZdiu1UE&ob=av3n
This is by far the greatest video ever. Pure comedy, pure entertainment. This is Spike Jones at his absolute best. It is extremely funny and fits the music perfect. An instant classic.
