I love anything by Peter Gabriel. I bought the ‘Play’ DVD package so that I could have all his videos. Still haven’t made it through completely… family keeps distracting me. I have seen the Cash video before (too bad it’s no longer available here)

Some of my choices for best videos would have to be the ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic videos, especially Amish Paradise and Smells like Nirvana. I’m still a big fan of Devo videos as well. While not as technically stunning as other videos, the undercurrents that go through the video along with the music make them fun to watch.

I was first introduced to The Postal Service when Such Great Heights was featured in an early episode of Veronica Mars. I loved the video to We Will Become Silhouettes from the 100 Awesome Music Videos piece, and this video was likewise great.

Also, I’m in agreement with you about the Hurt video. Man.

Oh, hey, forgot the obligatory mention of an awesome video:

The slow motion glances with a hint of longing are just lovely. Plus, there is computery stuff. Huzzah.

Too bad Apple borrowed it.

When I first saw the Hurt video, I proclaimed that if you watch it and aren’t misty-eyed (if not actually sobbing) by the end, you suck at being human.

Yup. Still true.
