I collect music videos, and feel like I need to share some of my favorites.-UNR

For as long as I can remember, a good music video has touched a part of my soul that nothing else can. I've collected them across all genres and levels of fame, but definitely have a fondness for animated ones. I appreciate them as decorating both space & time, and felt compelled to share some of them with others that may appreciate them too.

The Masterpieces:

• "Fly for your Life" by Gunship. Love and / is war.
• "SORRY NOT SORRY" by Tyler, the Creator. Get on stage, bare your soul, bury the past, fuck 'em.
• "NEVER GIVE UP" by S+C+A+R+R. This video is just so damn well-produced and clean.

No specific Category, just Fun:

• "Turn Down for What" by DJ Snake, Lil Jon. How do you do, fellow millennials?
• "SICK OF BEING HONEST" by MILKBLOOD. An eldritch monster stalks the halls of a Russian apartment building. It yearns to dance.
• "DISCO CLOSURE" by MILKBLOOD. Your sleep paralysis demon has terrifying moves. (I'm biased I like these guys. Watch this video for kawaii monster.)
• "Time in a Tree" by Raleigh Ritchie. We're all looking for our time in a tree, in some way or another. (Raleigh Ritchie is the stage name of Jacob Anderson, who played Grey Worm on Game of Thrones, and Louis in Interview with the Vampire).
• "Lover Chanting" by Little Dragon. I think all of us have some fond memories of an game like this.
• "I Feel Better" by Hot Chip. I'm certain there's some deeper meaning to this music video, but I dare you to attempt finding it.
• "Pop Culture" by Madeon, edited by Chris Taylor. Madeon mixed a great song together using samples of other significant music, and Chris Taylor composited all of the music videos for those songs into a satisfying video.
• "Wild Side (Anime Ver)" by ALI. This is the intro to Beastars, and regardless of how you feel about anime, this is impressive stop-motion cloth animation.
• "Fear & Delight" by The Correspondents. A catchy tune with clever camera work to make 3D zoetropes.
• "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" by The Darkness. What if Star Trek was significantly more Glam Rock?
• "Solid Gold feat. Kira Divine & Marques Toliver" by PNAU. A golden kaleidoscope.
• "Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)" by Elton John, Dua Lipa. Ok the figurines might be a little creepy, but this is still a fun music video.
• "Don't Wanna Fight" by Alabama Shakes. Every day is a different struggle.
• "Loretta" by Ginger Root. When you have to do everything yourself.
• "Move in the Right Direction" by Gossip. A rare kinetic-typography music video.

Animated (2D or 3D):

• "C2C" by Delta. Change is terrifying. Change is unstoppable. But it can be beautiful.
• "Fever the Ghost" by SOURCE. Felix Colgrave animated this wonderfully.
• "Starlight Brigade" by TWRP. Vibrance versus desaturation.
• "Lost River" by Murder By Death. Hush, now creature.
• "Beautiful" by Seeed. You wouldn't know it, but this is a German Reggae band.
• "Sing Along" by Sturgill Simpson. What if Mad Max fought Lust and Greed? And both this song & video have an immediate follow-up.
• "Lone Digger" by Caravan Palace. We're just urban animals.
• "Mr. FEAR" by SIAMÉS. You could any SIAMÉS music video in this section, but Mr. FEAR is my favorite.
• "Bye Bye Macadam" by Rone. There's a feeling of calm infinity in this video.
• NSFW • "Full Bodied (feat. AL!CE)" by Ghost Data, animated by Moikaloop. You're going to need to dab the sweat from your brow after this.

Melancholic:

• "The Curse of the Blackened Eye" by Orville Peck. Trauma, depression, guilt, pain- we all carry something. Sometimes it's Norman Reedus.
• "Boy & Bear" by Pogo. Winnie the Pooh doesn't have to grow up. But we do.
• "On my Way Out ft. Joji" by Getter. Looking different also means looking unique.

Dancing:

• "Forever (Pt. II)" by Snakehips. This video and the one below feature the (former) dance couple AyaBambi performing Vogue dancing.
• "Show Me" by DJ Zinc. This one has a twist.
• "The Rest Of My Days" by S+C+A+R+R. Another clean video from S+C+A+R+R.
• "Call Your Girlfriend" by Robyn. It's time you had the talk.
• "APOLLO" by Last Dinosaurs. I'm sure we've all danced without reserve when we're alone.
• "still feel." by half•alive. Pretty sure this was filmed in the Nolan Batcave.
• "Genghis Khan" by Miike Snow. What if Bond was chasing the villain... figuratively?
• "Bass Inside" by AC Slater. Assemble the team. Feel the bass inside.
• "Back on 74" by Jungle. I could post every Jungle music video in this section. If you like well-choreographed dancing music videos, just go through their catalog.
• "Casio" by Jungle. I wasn't joking.
• "Tokyo Calling" by ATARASHII GAKKO! A different kind of sailor scouts.
• "Cameo Lover" by Kimbra. This one is just charming.

Salvatore Ganacci- this guy gets his own section. You'll see why:

• "Fight Dirty." If you like any sort of anime, you'll appreciate this.
• "Horse." Our intrepid hero hears the call of animals in need, and rushes to save them in his Shoemobile.
• "Step-Grandma." This video will demonstrate how to get your very own step-grandma.
• NSFW • "Ass & Titties." with Tommy Cash. Nothing will prepare you for this one. You'll like it though.

The Weird Shit:

• "VERY NOISE" by IGORRR. This music video is a memetic virus that I am blessed/cursed to spread. Also I am not joking when I say this is probably IGORRR's most 'normal' music.
• "RACKED" by TOMMY CASH. This is one of those music videos that you watch once, think it's absurd... and replay it in your head for weeks after.
• "Deep Down Low" by Valentino Khan. The drugs are starting to kick in.
• "UH OH! (feat. BENEE)" by Sub Urban. The Missionary has targeted you. Resistance is futile.
• "Gay Bar" by Electric Six. Abe Lincoln poles dances in this video.
• "Danger! High Voltage" by Electric Six. I'm biased, I love these guys.
• NSFW • "Fantasy" by DyE. Four teenagers sneak into a pool. They encounter indescribable horrors.

Mashups:

• "I did (not) mean to blow your mind." by Camhcom. Tenacious D x Evangelion. It's better than you think.

I'll post more if I can find them.

EDIT:

• "Windowlicker" by Aphex Twin. Put a smile on that face.
• "Go With The Flow" by Queens Of The Stone Age. This song is about conception.
• "Komm, süsser Tod (from Neon Genesis Evangelion)" by Platina Jazz. I wish, that I could turn back time...
• "Wynonna's Big Brown Beaver" by Primus. Imagine if animatronic cowboys sang a dirty song about lady parts.
