108. If Everyone Cared - Nikelback - Directed by Dori Oskowitz

November 21st 2008 23:10

A great example of a social conscience type of song - with Nikelbck speaking out against the injustices of the world. The clip by Dori Oskowitz is the band in the studio intercut with a history lesson about some of the terrible things that have taken place over the past 50 years including the civil rights fight in the US and the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela. A great video and one that opens up the issue of human rights to a whole new generation well done - enjoy!

107. Lips Of An Angel - Hinder - Directed by Nigel Dick

November 21st 2008 22:53


Oklahoma rockers Hinder hit the charts with this soft power ballad. The clip is a stock standard band playing by candlelight - but it is done particularly well by veteran music video director Nigel Dick (the man responsible for both Oasis' Wonderwall and Britney Spears Hit Me One More Time). Hope you enjoy.

105. Talk Like That - The Presets - Directed by Jonas and Francois

November 21st 2008 22:30

Great clip - psychotic rock chick locked in a cell with just instruments and speakers. She goes into a rock fuelled frenzy of a wanna be star. Directed by french duo Jonas and Francois - this one is going to be big. Here it is

104. Ruby - Kaiser Chiefs - directed by Stylewar

November 21st 2008 10:55

Great little clip for the Kaiser Chiefs song Ruby. Made by swedish production house Stylewar it features the band playing in a desert landscape as a mini metropolis is built using stop motion. It's quite clever - here it is

100. Rabbit In Your Headlights - UNKLE ft Thom Yorke - Direct by Jonathan Glazer

November 20th 2008 12:08
For my 100th posting on this blog I thought I would choose the video clip voted by Rolling Stone Magazine as the #1 clip of all time (that's their choice not mine - which I will put up soon). It is made by the brilliant Jonathan Glazer who made the Virtual Insanity clip for Jamiroquoi and has gone on to direct the feature film Sexy Beast. The stark and beautiful surrealism of this clip is matched by its though provoking imagery. Starring Dennis Lavant as the muttering man. The final scene, the final moment with it's almost religious overtones as a man stands up to the pressures of life is both haunting and memorable. A must see

97. Hey There Delilah - Plain White T's - Directed by Jay Martin

November 20th 2008 11:22

Director Jay Martin choses to use split screen and does it quite brilliantly for this clip for the Plain White T's song Hey There Delilah. It has a real retro 1970's feel to it and is strikingly shot. One of my favourite clips of 2007 and it has had over 34 million hits at the time of this posting. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

94. November Rain - Guns N' Roses - Directed by Andrew Morahan

November 19th 2008 22:48
An epic clip for an epic song.This nine minute extravaganza from directed Andrew Morahan (of Highlander II and The Sorcerer fame) features the filmed wedding of Guns N' Roses front man Axl Rose to his then girlfriend Stephanie Seymour. The lavish production values, and outrageous swirling helicopter shots during guitarist Slash's bit solo make for one of the memorable music videos ever (the most requested on MTV) and a truly fitting tribute to the over the top excesses of the late eighties/early nineties (the song and clip came out in 1992). So here it is in all of it's nine minute glory - enjoy.

85. Writing To Reach You - Travis - Directed by John Hardwick

November 15th 2008 02:42

Another beautifully made clip to a great song. The lead singer of Travis - Francis Healy is hunted down by children in this clip. They use everything from sticks and stone to arrows to a world war 2 bomber. John Hardwick's smart direction and use of slow motion makes it fit in with the beauty of the song. There are love allusions to Hitchcock's North by Northwest and Kubrick's The Shining. Music video film making at its best. Enjoy

84. Lovesong - The Cure - Directed by Tim Pope

November 15th 2008 02:28

The clip that made the band - exquisitely shot, lit and composed = the Cure front man Robert Smith obviously got what the director was trying to do an put in a breathtaking performance that came to symbolize everything about the band. The amazing cave scenary adds to the near perfect video - one of my favourites - hope you enjoy

78. Beautiful Day - U2 - Directed by Jonas Akerlund

November 14th 2008 03:28

Sensational clip for the U2 song that showed their ability to move with the times. Shot at Charles De Galle airport in Paris by Swedish music video whiz Jonas Akerlund it pushes boundaries and gets some amazing shots in. Enjoy it

76. Welcome to the Black Parade - My Chemical Romance - Directed by Samuel Bayer

November 14th 2008 03:10

Again, I am not a big fan of "emo" rock in general and "emo" rockers My Chmical Romance in particular but this is a catchy little song and it does have a wonderful video clip by the legendary Samuel Bayer (Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit). Great use of colour - it is like he fully gets what the song is about. - Enjoy

73. Ride - The Vines - Directed by Michel Gondry

November 9th 2008 09:09

Another video from the man most credit with lifting the humble music video into an art form. French visual master Michel Gondry takes a catchy tune from Australian retro rockers The Vines and turns it into pure magic with the band playing in an empty hall then filling the hall with dozens of different looking bands all playing the same tune. The drum break moment is pure Gondry. I hope you really enjoy this one!

72. Everybody Hurts - REM - Directed by Jake Scott

November 8th 2008 03:39

This is the clip that Simple Plan copied - the original for REM's Everybody Hurts is directed by Jake Scott (son of Ridley Scott). The string arrangement for the song is by legendary Led Zepplin bass player John Paul Jones. The song taps into the same angst that the emo crowd does but offers hope and a reason to keep on going. A wonderful clip for a beautiful song. Enjoy
