I really love to listen to a wide variety of music. Beethoven, Biz Markie, Salieri, Nina Simone, etc. but I just… never really watched Music Videos until recently. I am astounded that I simply missed out on decades of visual feast. Nine Inch Nails - Closer. George Michael, Freedom '90, an entire decade of MIssy Ellliot nonsense, and of course Aha.
What, in your opinion, is the best music video that you are sure I will like? I’m old, as evidenced by my grammar and lack of spelling.
I’ve seen tons of music videos growing up but I never really liked most of them. Like, so, so many have a weird disconnect between the visuals and what the songs are about, it’s just not what I would expect. I like when the video goes along to what the song is about.
At the same time, I immediately think of Beastie Boys’ Sabotage when I think about good music videos. And a lot of videos directed by Spike Jonz, really.
Imma sabotage.
