I remember listening to Foo Fighters(Everlong, Learn to Fly,…) and enjoying some music and having a laught at the video. Recently i discovered this:
Salvatore Ganacci - Step-Grandma
Which music video you, for the music or video production, would like to share ?
I’m not sure it’s possible to describe as much of the technology, digital culture and design of 1999 as well as this song and video did. I had long forgotten about it and many of the references it makes, thanks for reminding me!

The henchman carrying the ladder in the background stopping for 1 sec to go “aaah” is the best part. The next best part is whatever that dance move is called when the James Bond guy turns around from the wall and starts shaking his hand in time to the music.
Thank you for reminding me of this amazing video! Such a great track too.
Haha true, “My Trigger” from them is also nice.

You could watch every video that OK go ever made. They’re all stunning.
This one blew my mind. OK go - The one moment
Holly poops that was cool. If there truly was no editing after the fact, the lip-syncing on the flipbooks is impressive as hell, along with all of the effects going on in time with the beat. These guys are great.
Good one. One of the best on this thread.

Weezer - Pork and Beans is a really interesting snapshot of YouTube in the late 2000s; you see all the big people of the day doing trends of the day while singing with the members of Weezer. If that doesn’t sound awesome, I don’t know what is. Plus Hero by the same band is a really interesting pandemic video that is one of the few “artist tries to relate to normal people during lockdown” things which actually work.
If you couldn’t tell, Weezer is my favorite band.

Land of Confusion by Genesis. Made with super weird puppets of celebrities borrowed from a British TV show, timeless lyrics about how the world keeps getting dragged down by the people in it.
I’ve been on a Phil Collins/Genesis binge lately.
Jesus He Loves Me is another banger in a similar vein.
The tl;dw of Genesis is “America is fucked”. In the 80’s no less. Shows how far our collective heads are up our asses.

This one comes from an era where music video’s where still important. Apex Twin - Come to daddy

I like a video that turns the camera around and features real people, and these were extra-special in the time before stuff like easy video production and streaming.
But I especially like what the band Cake did with Short Skirt/Long Jacket, where they went around letting people preview the song and give their reactions on camera. And the reactions were… actually pretty mixed.
Hilarious idea for a music video. Cake is just fun.
I love the one that has Christopher Walken zooming around the room

Basically anything Venjent. Some of the best non-mainstream music I have heard in decades.
Hmmm, I kinda like it. Ty.

This is my favourite I can’t believe someone actually did this
Shaka Ponk - Gung Ho
Edit - I should add, this was one of the biggest bands in France, not some amateur thing, which makes it even funnier

Love the boombox robot. This looks like something Robert Rodriguez shat out in between Spy Kids movies.
Amazing isn’t it? Off to see their final gig in Strasbourg soon, should be good
Never won’t love Michael Jackson’s music.

I just can’t imagine how much time was spent making that.

That is a band that i didnt listen for a long time, remember that The White Stripes - I Just Don’t Know What to Do With Myself caused a stir in mtv at release.

I may get ridiculed for this, but it’s just so damn pop-tastic and fun. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you…
Gosh that’s weird.

I’m not a fan of Kpop or pop in general, but that was fun as heck.
Catchy and fun pop, but honestly, the video seems a bit average? It might just be that I prefer fun catchy pop that makes me think just a tiny bit - like I did with Kyari Pamyu Pamyu when I first saw her. The thought being: “What just happened?”
Lots of the Lost - Reset the Preset

Just my favourite German Industrial Glam Metal band being nutso.
Thank you for introducing me to the fact that there is such a thing as glam metal. The world is noticeably brighter with this knowledge in it.
Admittedly I only got into them because of Eurovision, but man I have been listening to so much Lord of the Lost. Somehow hadn’t thought to look at any of their videos though! This was…eye opening 😆
Same here but their back catalog is immense!
