If 'unofficial' videos count, then my vote is for 'Wake Me Up Inside', the Xenosaga AMV set to 'Bring Me To Life' by Evanescence. Otherwise, I can't think of anything. :)

I think my favorite of all time is "Peaches" by Presidents of the United States of America, because out of the middle of nowhere for no disernable reason, they are attacked by ninjas toward the end of the song. :D

I think you meant their Pts.Of.Athrty video, but I'm being a nitpicky bastard again :D .

I really like "Weapon of Choice," just because watching Christopher Walken dance makes me laugh my head off.

Well.. I was trying to get this particular song, "Ladytron," and accidentally double-clicked the mpg file (I didn't have the filename bar extended enough), and ended up with a video. Very cool video, though. :D It wouldn't be something they'd play on MTV, amyway. Not right for their form of music. You think they'd actually play DECENT techno on there? VH1, MAYBE, but still.. it's debatable.

"Do the Evolution" by Pearl Jam

I despise music videos in general but this one was fucking amazing, mostly because of the animation. It was spectacular.

I'd also like to mention Freak on a Leash by Korn.

The only good music video is "Window Licker" by Aphex Twin. If you haven't seen it, do it now. Unless you're happy being retarded.

Actually, the Beastie Boys had some good ones, too.

I have a copy of that somewhere, and I want one of those masks.

Can't say I've seen that, another mention is something I saw on the net of 2 guys from DBZ fighting to the tune of In The End by Linkin Park.
