so let's talk about some of the ones that are really cool that you're probably never going to see because MTV is playing The Hills or some shit.
Chris Cunningham is a good director, and did some great videos like
Squarepusher - Come On My SelectorAphex Twin - Come to Daddy
And the creepy, disturbing, strange, but infamous
Rubber Johnny(nsfw) (This uses a track from Aphex Twin's Drukqs, but it isn't really an Aphex Twin video)
How about some
Spike Jonze:Daft Punk - Da Funk is a touching tale of a dog named Charles
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Y Control (NSFW) is a really fucked up video, even in the company of Cunningham, but I love this song. There's some gore though.
So, post some good music videos, old or new.
edit: munkus points out that I should have added
Thriller

UNKLE - Rabbit in your Headlights
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYGCT4AQIR0 is one of my favorite music videos around
The Decemberists - Sixteen Military Wives
http://youtube.com/watch?v=tK3Ce9md96g another clever one
They Might be Giants - Bastard Wants to Hit Me
http://youtube.com/watch?v=6sJCQ_BUksM The epic tale of a guy who thinks another guy will hit him.
cibo matto - sugar water
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVpHHnG-xpw
good chilled song

The Decemberists - O Valencia (Directors Cut)
If you've only seen the original, the directors cut is like twice as long
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBJmR0uA5jQ
That is a pretty good music video
That is not a lie, gentlemen. This man speaks the truth.
Gondry is awesome, and you should really look up his entire videography if you have the time. I have the Director's Series on DVD, and his is easily one of the best.
Radiohead - Knives Out is one of my favorites though
Watch as a barbarian wrecks shit and randomly gets a new sword!
Skinny Puppy - Worlock
yea my cousin had that dvd and the spike jonze collection at his place when i went there with a couple of friends
had nothin to do so we went through some of them
i think thats how we started listenin to notorious big after seeing this clip
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqny_i7z0kk
which is a pretty cool way of making a typical biggie clip after he died
also the clip for 'summertime' is pretty good
http://youtube.com/watch?v=X_PDns23RWY
nothing remarkable but its a great song and the clip suits it perfectly
But it's gnarls barkley.
But I think I like this video of theirs best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azEegtB6qNg
Radiohead - High & Dry
Radiohead - No Surprises - There's also a good cover of this song someone made an amateur video for, by Marissa Nadler
Radiohead - Just - Probably my favorite out of these Radiohead videos
Radiohead - Karma Police - Directed by Jonathan Glazier, the same guy who did the UNKLE video posted earlier
Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees - Directed by Ridley Scott's son!
I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
If you're into bi-planes doing awesome things, then this video is right for you!
Doves - Sky Starts Falling
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVP-O60_MII
this is amazing
i love those director's dvds, none of them are a waste of money
Grandaddy - Jed's Other Poem (Beautiful Ground) (this one's not official per se, but Grandaddy loves it and it's damn awesome)
Yo La Tengo - Sugarcube (featuring Mr. Show!)
i'm not much of a muse fan but knights of cydonia is an awesome video
queens of the stone age - go with the flow
daft punk - around the world
I used to be so damn high watching that and it made me feel greeeaaat
I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
stereotypical rap video. only instead of a mansion, it's an abandoned, filthy hotel, instead of cristal it's cheap 40's and pbr, and instead of rappers and hos, it's a gang of scummy punk rock kids. transplants - dj, dj
maybe not a great video, but this is about the only time it'd be appropriate to post so i can't really resist
i just spent the last 20 minutes trying to get that video onto my phone so i could text it to people
and now this
Beastie Boys - Intergalactic
God damned kung-fu Cowboys, man
Muse - Knights of Cygonia
Dave Grohl as a gay male stewardess, a teenage girl, and a douchebag pilot
Foo Fighters - Learn to Fly
yeah, but ulinke every other asshole in the world, i was classy and clever enough to do it in context
Satans..... hints.....
I was hoping it wouldn't come to that this early
but since it did
The Hunger
Crocodile Man
The Wizard's Drum
there are no music videos worse than these, let's get back to posting good ones
my coworkers are staring at me but this made me laugh really loud when I got it. At 8:10 AM that took approx. 12 seconds.

Justice - D.A.N.C.E
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ6jjfSL-wQ
Absolutely love Justice's work, both in video and music.
this is from the New Health Rock EP that no one bought and no one carries, so a lot of people probably haven't heard it
it's a mostly acapella cover of the final Yeah Yeah Yeahs song from their first album. And it's awesome, provided you enjoy TVotR.
edit: Here's Province and Wolf Like Me as well
Such a weird video
Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpDer9wdUEw
Gorillaz - 19/2000
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EM5BxEXQFoI
Gorillaz - Rock the house
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80AUgRMAS3w
And as a bonus, while it's not a music video, it's one of Gorillaz' many standalone shorts.
Gorillaz - Jump the gut
