   • Yeah, I know list threads aren't cool, but I'm satisfying a NIN fix through YouTube and it made me think of my favourite music videos (not favourite bands/songs, but vids). So here are some of mine from the top of my head, more to come.
     
     Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug - I can only find this remix version, but it is the best goth by numbers video viewing ever.
     
     Johnny Cash - Hurt - watched this on TV after his death, nearly made me cry.
     
     Unsane - Scrape - the MTV video of my early teen years. Simply classic, classicly simple.
     
     Aphex Twin - Come to Daddy - no explanation needed, go to 4:21 in.
     
     Roots Manuva - Witness - I love how one of the most iconic British hip hop tracks has such a silly video - no women gyrating, no flash cars, no money flashing shit. Just pissing around.
     
     Coldplay - The Scientist - I don't like the band, but like this vid although the backwards vid thing was done previously by...
     
     The Pharcyde - Drop - vid by Spike Jonze.
     
     Chemical Brothers - Elektrobank - also by Spike Jonze, with Sophia Coppola as the star.
     
     Fu Manchu - Asphalt Risin' - I break my own rules here as there's nothing special about the vid but I saw this when I was about 15 and I can trace back massive chunks of my life since to seeing it that night on Headbangers Ball.
     
     List yours (with youtube links if poss)....

   • God Lives Underwater - From Your Mouth- Another backwards one, very clever.
     
     Nine Inch Nails - We're In This Together Now - Still gives me goosebumps years later, the feeling of panic and the way it's filmed is amazing.
     
     Daft Punk - Da Funk This one is pretty odd, but I like how they made a video, just with the song in it, rather than having the song dominate.
     
     Tom Waits - What's He Building In There? This song is perfect, but the video is never shown, lots of static, sepia images, it's exactly what you imagine when you listen to it.
     
     Andrew WK - Party Hard I'd heard of him, but heard the song and video together the first time, just ace.
     
     This could go on forever Pete!

     Me too. Superb
     
     Also:
     Beastie Boys- Sabotage
     Great song, hilarious vid- bit of an obvious choice.
     
     Red Fang- Prehistoric Dog
     Pretty cheap and cheerful but always makes me laugh. Reminds me of a lot of people at school.
     
     Off!- I Don't Belong
     A short sharp blast of perfect Hardcore Punk and a vid where the payoff comes from the fact that the band's singer looks pretty much interchangeable with the homeless people mouthing the words previously.
     
     Manowar- Gloves of Metal
     There's a fine line between genius and madness. The most 'Heavy Metal' promo you'll ever see.
     
     Although this runs it pretty close. Hilarious...
     Dream Evil- The Book of Heavy Metal

     Their new album keeps growing on me, so good.

     My LP finally arrived yesterday. I concur; so good.
