Can't really think of a superlative example right now, but I would say that Madonna's American Life video is a rare example of where the vid enhances appreciation of the song (at least for me). That would be, of course, if she hadn't gone all prissy and bowed down to pressure to cancel the proper video following moaning about insensitivity to 'our troops' :mad:
a great video really does help elevate a good song into something magnificent......actually, it doesn't necessarily have to be a particularly good video, just a captivating video. The last one I could think of was Gotye's STIUTK.
In terms of recent popstars i think all except Part Of Me and to an extent Firework slayed during Katy Perry's Teenage Dream era love or loathe her she knows her visuals others:
Kate Bush- Running Up That Hill (Deal With God)
Madonna- Like A Prayer
Britney Spears- ...Baby One More Time
Bjork- It's Oh So Quiet
Ellie Goulding- The Writer
The Prodigy- Firestarter
Rihanna- We Found Love
Alright by Supergrass and Common People by Pulp. Whenever I think of those bands, it's these videos that pop into my mind. I've always liked the video to Charmless Man by Blur as well.

Also love Blur's The Universal and To the End although they are both homages to favourite movies.

That is a very good example and it reminds me of Massive Attack's Unfinished Sympathy.
Yes, fab song and appropriate video...are video makers getting a bit lazy these days? Or has the music diminished a little?
