"D.A.N.C.E."-Justice
"Fading Away"- Demon Hunter
"Hey John, What's Your Name Again?"-The Devil Wears Prada

Didn't know where to put this so I apologize if this has been posted before. I was reading through Time best of 07 pop culture blitzkrieg and came across the Daft Hands video. I'm sure a lot of you have seen it (it has almost 11,000,000 million hits). A friend of mine actually sent me a link to the more recent umm... fuller version - daft bodies. Overall a good year for a song that was released in 2001.

Siobhan Donaghy's video for the perfect pop of 'So You Say' is excellent.

The video finds the english songstress strolls through and eerie mansion following a mysterious hooded man. Each time the colossal chorus arrives, she enters a room with strange happenings within. In the first room are birds flying in slow motion, and the next room has floating shards of glass.
Finally, she catches up to the man and lifts his hood, revealing glowing eyes. She kisses him, and the final shot is her appearing possessed.

Also, Björk's 'Earth Intruders' was magnificent.

I agree with the videos for Overpowered, Tonto and D.A.N.C.E, all of those are great but I'd also like to add some that I believe have not been metioned:

Minus The Bear - Knights
This video employs an extremely original use of mirrored images, it can be a little intense at times though.

Bring Me The Horizon - Pray for Plagues
I hate this band but the animation in this video is superb, it's really a must see.

Talib Kweli - Hot Thing
Many people have already seen this one but it's so creative and works so well with the song.

Klaxons - Golden Skans
Such a bizarre homage to the Jackson's can you feel it.

Sondre Lerche - Phantom Punch
This video doesn't make sense at all but it's great fun and has excellent camera work.

without a doubt, fionn regan's 'be good or be gone' is truly ingeneous in its simplicity. never have i seen such intricate, sonic beauty displayed visually to this level.

i gotta watch more music videos.. i never end up watching em much (beyond the takeawayshows at blogotheque), but I think when you get past the bullshit promotional media side of 'em they are a fantastic artistic medium with one of the highest possibilities of interesting experimentation.

I completely agree. I love the mixing of artforms. And photography/film and music are two of the most open fields of artistic expression around right now.

Also, TakeAway Shows are amazing.

I can't wait for Vincent Moon to release "A Skin/A Night". His documentary art film made during the recording of Boxer.
