Re: Welcome back E/O, leagl and Fringey: no one say the name "Penske" 3 times in a ro
Since the Kanye thing, I've been thinking about the Best Video of All Time question. I think there's a plausible argument that it's "Take On Me" rather than "Thriller," because at the end of the day when the midnight hour is close at hand it's just one of several MJ dance routines expertly performed but hardly imaginitive or difficult to conceive.
I'll stick with "Cradle of Love" for Best Video Involving Girl I'd Like to Fuck, with "Wicked Game" being edged out because the song is overplayed.
I'll also stick with "Sabotage" for sheer entertainment power.
For creative direction, I would add Chemical Brothers' "Let Forever Be.". Runner up is "Fell in Love with a Girl." Both were Gondry's.
Honorable mentions in any category for Radiohead's "Just," which was absolutely perfect for what I think the band is trying to say with all of its songs, and for any music video by Sigur Rós, a band I'd never just sit and listen to, but which has developed a visual aesthetic that's pretty beautiful. "Viorar vel til loftárása" is a good example. Musically, though, they often sound like they're writing New Age soundtracks for cash, and I cannot imagine putting a Sigur Rós album on the stereo for the evening.
Anyone have additional recommendations for downloading?
