I always loved music video clips. Obviously they mixed two things I like; music and video and they are often an interesting source of inspiration for visual work.
So here I put a list of 10+1 music video clips that particularly stand out in my opinion. They are often the work of great directors such as French director Michel Gondry (N°2,6…).
1. Pearl Jam: Do the Evolution
2. Chemical Brothers: Star Guitar
3. Timo Mass ft. Brian Molko: First day
4. Gym Class Heroes: Cupids Chokehold / Breakfast in America
5. Bob Marley feat. Lauryn Hill: Turn your lights down low
6. Kylie Minogue: Come Into My World
7. The Prodigy: Smack my bitch up
8. Missy Elliott: Teary Eyed
9. Michael Jackson: Thriller
10. Smashing Pumpkins: 1979
10+1. Harvey Danger: Lip Dub – Flagpole Sitt

Hello
Saw a link to this blog on Smashing Magazine, and found it interesting.
I once saw the Pearl Jam video, but I could not remember it. I just watched it again and you’re right, it’s really great.
I see you have mentioned 2 Michel Gondry videos. The guy is a genius! I once had a top 10 videos list myself, and later, I found out that 8 out of 10 were made by Gondry.
It’s so creative and orginal, and it’s sometimes also very technical. He hasn’t made 2 videos the same.
I would recommend the following video, cause it’s not a famous artist, but it’s my favorite Gondry video. You should watch the making of, it’s incredible. I still haven’t figured it out.

Gondry is a genius indeed! Love the Cibo Matto one too, thanks for sharing this!
Je viens de me rendre compte que je suis tombé sur le blog d’un français qui habite en Australie…
Ca aurait été encore plus simple de poster en français parce que je suis moi-même français, et j’habite Paris.
Je vois qu’on a quelques points communs: WordPress, Smashing Magazine, le web design et la musique.
Hé hé oui j’ai vu ça en parcourant ton blog… qui a d’ailleur rejoint mes flux RSS
