I'm talking ones like this.
Oh, got you! But anyways, the majority of these seem to be modern songs. Examples? How about Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" video, or "I'm on a Boat." I mean, by the standards of music videos, they are pretty entertaining and can be quite clever.
But does cleverness validate watching the same video again and again for undefined periods of time? And really, is the video that good? I've found plenty of music videos that more than match the quality of these mainstream monsters, yet garner barely a fraction of the attention.
That's why, with this article, I'm also introducing a new series, the Under-Appreciated Music Video of the Week, or UAMVotW for short(?)
This week's feature, for your entertainment, and possibly engrossment, for you music vid obsessists out there (yes, you, the guy who still watches "Thriller" at least once a day), is "Coffee and TV" by Blur.
This has to be not only one of the most unique music videos I've ever seen, but also one of the most moving, so click the image to watch:
Great post! I'd post the url here, except it wont let me, but anyway if you youtube U2 The Sweetest Thing, you'll find an awesome music video.
