I once had a spreadsheet were I entered great music vids and rated them according to their kino moments. November Rain was the kinoest but then again it's also a very long vid. Same with Thriller. Other music vids which got a high score and hasn't been mentioned in the thread:

Foo Figthers - Everlong
Beastie Boys - Sabotage
Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer
RHCP - Californication
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Madonna - Like A Prayer
Genesis - Land of Confusion
Radiohead - Paranoid Android

I'm sure I'm forgetting some.

Were the ninetes the best decade for music videos? 80's music videos, overall weren't that engaging. 2000's both the music and the videos were declining.

This list is fucking garbage apart from Sabotage. Get better taste bro.

Saved. That was pretty cool.

estrangedbros where u at

Is this the contrarian list?

Depeche Mode's Enjoy The Silence remix from 00s

The 2000's were such a good time

Master P - Make em say ugh

I HANG WITH JANNY
I DO MY THANG WITH JANNY
(UGGH)
YOU KNOW I GANGBANG CUZ I HANG
WIT A WHOLE GANG OF JANNIES

The 90s were the best decade for anything music related.

DAH NAH NAH NAH

Rabbit In Your Headlights might be an alltime great for teenage boys and a very cool mv generally. I find it hard to untangle from the nostalgia but I think I'd still like it quite a lot even if I were discovering it for the first time now.

Big Gun directly rips off Cher

Great video. I should make a youtube playlist sometime, for when I have some guests. Just for some background static.

A link or at least a title would be nice. Imagine me barging into your house and saying:" The sky is purple!" And then leaving without elaborating. How would that make you feel? Exactly.

I'm gonna miss that old nip like you wouldn't believe

The Fall

Never heard of it but after seeing a couple of frames from it that's going on the list. Thanks for the recommendation.

when your band is more famous for your videos instead of your actual music

No way in hell.
Lyricism peaked in the 60s and 70s.
Instrumentation peaked in the 70s and early 80s.
Best things about the 1990s was early dance music and new age music of the early 1990s, and the "Alt"/Indie rock scene of the late 80s to mid 1990s. After like 1997 though entirety of mainstream music is absolute dogshit and then in the early 2000s everything mainstream became "black urban" adjacent and it's never recovered.

Best music videos according to Rateyourmusic

1. Michael Jackson - Thriller
2. Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime
3. a-ha - Take on Me
4. Björk - Bachelorette
5. Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer
6. FKA Twigs - Cellophane
7. FKA Twigs - Eusexua
8. Kendrick Lamar - Count Me Out
9. David Bowie - Lazarus
10. Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity

Sweet

David Bowie - Lazarus

Lel, this list must've been made right after he died.

Hello, boomer.

why you put some of the artists on the left side and others on the right side?

The ranking is constantly updated

it's pretty even between the eras... the mid 10s is were it starts to drop.. but perhaps it has more to do with the western civ falling.. less money in the industry.. you can still see the creative flow if you search for it. it just isn't as in the face as it once was

I like how Cher always did her own thing. Lots of different styles and decades.

for me it's the first minute of youtube.com/watch?v=GC5E8ie2pdM
its the best pseudo-bestiality vid ever made. 100% about tina turner procaliming size matters. I bet the vid made tons of small girls into slutty horsecocksucking furries

Your list reminded me of Weval's Someday. Shame that the way it's made means streaming platforms like youtube that skimp on bitrates randomly make the video look like shit. I swear there was a better quality upload of it somewhere but now all I can find is the Vimeo one, which is admittedly much better than the shit on youtube.

Lel I remember this. Saw the music video to this a lot too, but they never aired it, so I never got around to watching it. They dif show that Rocky movie a lot.

What would be the best music soundtrack themed video. Weather it has clips from the movie put in or involved the actors themselves in the video playing the characters. Not saying this is the best but using it as an example.

Not boomer, just objective fact coming from someone who mostly listens to Electronic Music.
Lyricism in mainstream music is 1000x better from the 1960s and 70s than today, there are dozens of deep lyrical songs almost EVERYONE knows, despite those songs being half a century old, meanwhile, there hasn't been a universally popular song across demographics since honestly the 1990s with songs like Creep, Losing My Religion, Wonderwall.
Instrumentation peaked in the 70s and early 80s. In terms of sheer rock riffs, the absolute peak was early 1980s especially with thrash like Kill Em All, Megadave, Slayer etc.
Imo in terms of popular mainstream music, obviously peaked in the late 60s and early 70s and there is literally no fucking comparison. That era of popular music is SSS tier. Joe Crocker, Tom Jones, Janis Joplin, Tina Turner, Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin etc.
Popular music started going to shit around the late 1990s and was completely dead by the mid 2000s. We are now in an era where if it's black/gay it's automatically considered basically good and it becomes insanely overrated, Zoomers unironcially say Kayne, Drake and Kendrick Lamar are the greatest lyricists of all time, when they are complete utter D-tier writers by any meaningful musical lyricism metric.
Let me compare the top 5 of the Hottest 100 (biggest music poll in the world) of 1993:

The Cranberries – "Zombie"

Nine Inch Nails – "Closer"

The Offspring – "Self Esteem"

Silverchair – "Tomorrow"

Nirvana – "About a Girl"

too 2024

Chappell Roan – "Good Luck, Babe!"

Billie Eilish – "Birds of a Feather"

Lola Young – "Messy"

Charli XCX and Billie Eilish – "Guess featuring Billie Eilish"

Kendrick Lamar – "Not Like Us"

Yeah mainstream music got a lot fucking worse.

Yeah, that's where I have it from. However, after the 90s I never heard or saw it once, until I decided to look it up almost 30 years later.
It really defines a big part of the early 90s though.

For me it's Feel Good Hit of Summer

someone who mostly listens to Electronic Music.

Cool, thanks for letting me know to ignore your opinion immediately.

Hurr this list is garbage

Posts this.

Nice effortpost.

You cannot shit on Daft Punk, not if you'a hipster and not if you're a normie. They're practically music Royalty and have at least two or three songs you like.

having two or three songs is not music royalty.
goddamn you need to listen to more music.

I mean that they instantly sold out any venue, everybody wanted to work with them and they survived nearly 3 decades in a scene that changed artists more than you change your underpants. For me, they made two classic albums.

My fav music video simply because this is unironically how most of the industry has functioned since at least 2010. Just make the two MC's black or a LGBTQRPGFPS++ associated zoomer chick for literally the entire industry Zoomers grew up with.

Last time I heard this song was on an actual rainy november day when I heard it playing over speakers echoing in the distance and I realized it was the nearby Catholic primary school playing it for the students. Fairly kino moment

Weezer's Buddy Holly because it was included in EVERY COPY OF WINDOWS 95.

Why?
You’re absolutely correct. Mumbling the same four words into a microphone over and over in auto tune over a drum track is incredibly based.

I unironically and no homo but totally homo love josh.

I love how he admitted that the lyrics are nonsense

just said he was some drugged-up popstar writing gibberish or something, right?

i mean it's fairly bland pop, he's like some gestalt of David Bowie and better synthpop artists. still some solid earworms though, a couple of cool music videos.

Maybe No Rain with the bee girl.
So iconic that Coldplay stole the video and made it soulless.

You can post whatever you want but everyone is just going to recognize you're a zoomtard and not engage with you. Anyway, have fun, lil gup!

We had a good run.

Bjork - All is Full of Love
Bjork - Bachelorette
Bjork - It's oh so Quiet
pretty much all the Bjork videos are brilliant.
Van Halen - Hot For Teacher
Van Halen - Panama
Dire Straits - Money for Nothing

absolutely based. in particular
Genesis - Land of Confusion
Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Madonna - Like a Prayer

I feel like you need to be European to like this song. People keep saying oh this is Americans only and all that so I think we got to find some Europeans only stuff too. Its just so repetitious and doesn't go anywhere, its Daft Punks worst song by far.

Its year 12 of the Trump Presidency

Metallica made AI art what it is, AI art is standing on the shoulders of giants and is bitch.

Daft Punk started out as techno no? For me it's the good kind of repitition, with enough variation to keep it engaging enough as listening music too. I like 'Homework' best. 'Human After All' and their last one are far more boring, to me at least.

I liked it when I was a teenager and my stepsister and her friend did the youtube dance

Ah, the one with the hands, I'd totally forgotten about that.

G&R sucks
