There has been so many Best of 2008 lists popping up everywhere and Scott and I are working on our own but probably won’t be finished them until the end of the month because its not the end of the year yet. So, I put together just the most inspiring videos i’ve ever seen, hope you enjoy:

Can anyone dance with such quirky, angsty, coolness as young beck?
I submit that no.
no they cannot.
Clint –
I think from the moment I saw Beck in that video he was my Michael Jackson for 8 yr old boy dancers or KISS for the rockstar kids
NO JUSTICE!?!?!?!
Madonna – Bedtime Story
Yes – Owner of a lonely heart
Michael Jackson – Thriller
I’d probably throw a Sigur Ros video in there. But that’s just me.
I really enjoyed this one:

And the one for Hoppipolla. So moving.
Can’t go wrong with Beck. Jackass is usually the first song I play on my iTunes every morning.
Chemical Brothers: Let Forever Be…. no love for Michel Gondry?
Oddly, two of my favourite all-time music videos feature things going in reverse:
From Your Mouth – God Lives Underwater
Drop – Pharcyde
Check them out
Good shout on High Noon by the way.
Jamiroquai – Virtual Insanity
Coldplay – The Scientist
The verve – Bitter Sweet Symphony
Blur – Coffee&Tv
Rolling Stones – Saint of me / Love is strong
there’s a lot more…
Excellent choices.
I’ve linked through my name to seven very creative music videos, including the superb Alex Gopher track, The Child. Gotta love typography in music.
I dont know about the rest of you guys, but I think Vampire Weekend – A-Punk is my favorite video of 2008 – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XC2mqcMMGQ
I’m also a big fan of Calmer’s video for Open Source – http://www.videovici.com/videos/182/calmer-open-source-(music-video-pre-release).html
NOTE: I guess you have to copy and paste the Calmer link up there ^
Radiohead – Just !!!
i’d never seen that lfo vid, jakub. really enjoyed it! methinks today might be a good day to revisit some old warp biz.
i agree with alot of the suggestions people have on here, however i have to add rubber johnny by aphex twin on there as well. remember this is directed by Chris Cunningham
Anything by Michel Gondry, especially the video for The Chemical Brothers’ Star Guitar!!
I’ve have been listening to Battles’ album and it’s really unique. I dont know if I really like it, but it’s cool anyway. Atlas is just a great song, that I don’t doubt. The video is cool too, but not in a million years “best of all time” or anything like that for me.
psst jakub dont for get to have a look at the TV ON THE RADIO Vid.. Dancing Choose
show some love mr. man … 😉
Awesome, they are all my favorites..
Cool…, looking forward to see more.
Thanks
