OK Go has a lot of great videos actually, they are famous for their crazy, intricate, one-long-take choreography. There's one performed entirely on moving treadmills that's very cool also (Here it Goes Again).

I just wish their songs lived up to their videos.

Schlitzzz is skipped, Cranberry Tea is up

revots33 needs a new undertitle: "king of spew"

The evidence points to nothing at all, obviously.

I think "Walk This Way" was a great pick, especially for the music history significance. I also think Cash was a great pick as well.

I'm sure those who loved the "old" Aerosmith wish that the 90s never happened.

John Cole, I will admit that I have a knowledge gap that begins with "Kenye" and ends with "West."

I never really dedicated a good time to really sit and listen to his music. It's not something you play in the background, it seems.

I'm going to go mellow for this one:

Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - Don't Come Around Here No More




This 80's Tom Petty jam had visuals that compliment the music, with a trippy Alice-in-Wonderland theme that perfectly fits the sitar riffs. Tom Petty as a menacing Mad Hatter is highly memorable, as is the rather disturbing ending in which the band slices Alice up and eats her alive.

? I like the early Aerosmith, but they also had some solid hits in the 90s.

Hey Dave? YOU CAN'T POST SPOILERS IN THIS THREAD.

I mean, come on.

Sorry about that, Dominic. I edited that out.

Props to the Petty video. I forgot about that one entirely.

That's okay, Dave. It wasn't a music video.

so Cranberry, did you PM the next guy?

Yes, he did, but I don't think herbdizzle is responding.

since herbdizzle was skipped in the first round and has not shown up, he is being shipped now...I will make a pick in a minute...

Round 2 pick:

WARNING: NSFW!



I'm going with another Mark Romanek video of a Trent Reznor song. One of the most misunderstood lyrics in modern music history, Closer is not, in fact, about sex and it's not a "sexy" song, no matter how many "sexiest songs" lists it's on.

The video is bizarre, gross, disturbing, gorgeous, mesmerizing, and one I can't take my eyes off of. Basically, everything I want in a music video!

************

My Picks:

Johnny Cash - Hurt
NIN - Closer

phatmack on the clock!

Don't get it. Why exactly?

Edit: OK I'm guessing mentioning another video... realized someone else may have still wanted to pick that one. Sorry my bad.

Round 2 - Pick whatever.

It's about a dozen years ago. I'm hiding in a movie theater in The People's Republic of Texas. My wife has run off with the Taliban and I'm afraid that if the Taliban find me, they'll try to give her back.

I'm watching a samurai movie; Zatoichi, in fact. We all know that in Samurai movies, sometimes singing and/or dancing breaks out. Think of the ending of Seven Samurai when Shino and all the village women are singing and planting rice. Or that Kurosawa flick about the princess in drag being escorted by Mifune when the whole peasant village has a square dance.

Well, the flick is over and the credits roll, and what breaks out other than Samurai Tap Dancing, featuring not only The Stripes, but the whole cast:



Phat Mack's picks:
Golden Earing - Twilight Zone
The Stripes - Samurai Tap Dancing

John Cole PMed

Round 2 Pick

I like music videos that reference other works, and although there are plenty to choose from, I'm going to select this now because I'm afraid it might be on Dom's radar. I was hiding out in the Avon Theater in Providence when I had the chance to see Godard's Alphaville on the big screen. I was just a youth then. I love the song, too.



Round 1: Friends
Round 2: Linger

this was on my list

You have a list? Hell, I just throw up whatever strikes me at the moment. I knew it would be on your list.

Can easily start and end with this: Was there a cooler video ever made in the history of ever anything at the time that this came out?



Nope!!

I'm out... u guys do it as nine

Round 2

The Making of Good Vibrations - The Beach Boys

Okay another pre video revolution video. I promise I will get some actual 80's schlock in before the draft is over

But I just love this one! Good Vibrations is in my mind one of the top 3 songs ever written and that includes everything by Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Lennon, McCartney, Dylan, Gershwin, Porter etc.

If you have not seen the movie Love & Mercy you need to go watch it right now! The scenes in it where Brian Wilson is putting together Good Vibrations and the Pet Sounds album while working with the legendary Wrecking Crew are some of the best movie scenes ever. This video is a small real life snippet of that experience. All of Wilsons heart, soul, and genius pour out of him into this song which I believe was the most expensive song to produce at the time. this is a look at a pure musical genius in his natural habitat,



so far:
Paperback Writer - The Beatles
The Making of Good Vibrations - The Beach Boys

xander biscuits - Pick 2 - Coldplay - The Scientist



I've never been the biggest fan of Coldplay. Little bit middle of the road and safe within their genre, but certainly not bad. This video is amazing though.

Watch it if you want first, but here's what I think of it:

revots33 PMd and spreadsheet updated

I'll try to find some time soon to comment on the picks of others...
