What is your favourite music video, it doesn't necesarily have to be your favourite song.

Anyway, I think one of mine has got to be the Foo Fighters, Learn to Fly - hilarious

Daft Punk - Around the world. The video and the song goes so well together.

Just in case you are interested, there is a DVD out with many of the videos made by the director who did this. He's also created some cracking vids for White Stripes, Chemical Bros and Bjork.

I can't remember his name but if anyone wants to know I'll look it up. He's a french guy.

Difficult choice.

For now, I'd say the Mark Pellington-directed video by Nine Inch Nails - 'We're In This Together'.

Most Enya videos are brilliant, but the standout one is Carribean Blue.

I like Rest Assured - Treat Infamy. The video is really good cause it goes really fast, showing ppl/cars etc moving at double speed or something.
I also like Ironic by Alanis Moressette.

Pharcyde - "The Drop"

Beastie Boys - "Sabotage"

Both directed by Spike Jonze who, factfans, went on to direct "Being John Malkovich" amongst others.

Although I cannot stand the song or the singer, "The Scientist" by Coldplay is an excellent video and very clever.

But my favourite video is (obviously) Leave Right Now.

Yes, thats a good one. the whole video is done in just one take isnt it?. Ie no edits, just 3 or so minites straight through.

It may not be the best, but in terms of importance, Bohemian Rhapsody should be mentioned.

That was built up to something it wasn't.

I like Alanis/Ironic! Simple.

Loads of videos are doing the one shot thing at the mo. Will, Christina etc.

I'd go along with that. Absolute pure class video

For old times sake, I'd also have to say Going Underground by The Jam.

You can say I don't have a memory but I really like the Avid Merrion video - proper Crimbo, I think it is hilarious.

Another vote for Come to Daddy from me. The only video I've seen that is genuinely disturbing.

Otherwise

Go With the Flow by QOTSA. Unsubtle innuendo AC/DC would be proud of. Plus the style of the video is great.

Seven Nation Army by White Stripes. Simple but hypnotising.

The new Chemical Brothers video is funny as well...

and another for Come to Daddy

I love the funny Foos videos, but Everlong was great as well

And I love Weapon of Choice (Fatboy slim) and the mad tap-dancing

It's not often videos relate to the song, so i'll go for Chemical Brothers star guitar. Every beat fits with the passing scenery
