Weezer - Buddy Holly Beastie Boys - Sabotage Beck - Where It's At (Two Turntables and a Microphone) Fatboy Slim - the one with Christopher Walken dancing all crazy-like Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees Radiohead - Karma Police Radiohead - No Surprises Madness - Our House The Clash - London Calling REM - Everybody Hurts
all the radiohead already mentioned plus fade out last of the gang-morrisey there's a light-smiths monkey's gone to heaven-pixies
Depeche Mode - Shake the Disease or But not Tonight. I know the latter is mostly clips from a mediocre '80s clubbing movie, Modern Girls, but if you ignore that, it works really well with the song, which is ace.

etc. pp.

So, this means that people still watch MTV and VH1?
I don't.
I remember when Sky TV (or whatever it were called) had a couple of hours everyday with music videos. This was before MTV. Maybe 18 years ago or soo.Then it was ace to watch, but now the only show the same shit over and over.
But, AHA - "Take on me" is still great.
Cabaret Voltaire-Sensoria
The Fall-Eat Y'Self Fitter
Einsturzende Neubauten-ZNS
Nick Cave-Jack The Ripper
Dwight Yoakam-Sorry You Asked? (lovely mixed up performance by Harry Dean Stanton in this one).
The Mekons-Hole In The Ground
The Residents-Third Reich 'n' Roll
Front 242 - Rhythm of Time The Jesus & Mary Chain - You Trip Me Up Pet Shop Boys - It's A Sin
Series of Dreams - Dylan Sweet Harmony - Beloved And that Smiths one where all the Moz lookalikies follow him round Mancland on bikes, cannae remember which one it is now!

"Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before", only cuz I saw it on VH1 Classic's "All Request Hour" the other day 
There are so many, but to name a few:
Cloudbusting - Kate Bush
Happy Hour - The Housemartins
The Sun Rising - The Beloved
Babies - Pulp
Santa Cruz - Fatboy Slim
Da Funk - Daft Punk
Elektrobank - Chemical Brothers
Ya Mama - Fatboy Slim
Dip It Low - Christina Milian 
Tell Me When September Ends - Green Day (yes really!)
REM - Everybody Hurts Peter Gabriel - Digging In The Dirt Janet Jackson - If (I know it's Janet Jackson, but I think it's a cool looking video)
Aphex Twin's "Windowlicker" by Chris Cunningham is so freaky and bizarre and funny and silly. his video for "Come to Daddy" and Squarepusher's "Come on my selector" are honorable mentions
Daft Punk's "Around the World" is simply perfect in it's own way, visually and musically
my favorite video when i was younger was "Shock the Monkey"

The Smiths "Stop me if you think that you have heard this one Before"

Nice one, it was annoying me that much I was just about to search for The Complete Picture DVD

My all time fave!
The part where slash plays outside the church with no cords makes it the greatest video ever.

okay, i saw it... it's pretty damn silly.
the guy who really needs a blowjob BAD walks past the bored soiled female, no, he must cruise until he finds the right person to receive his ejaculate, which is made blantantly clear to be Richard 23 who is willing and eager.... and the architecture looks cool too

Well. It is a play on words. Front 242 is a French speaking Belgian band. So, in French, we say Front deux quatre deux. But, it could be understood as Front d’œufs quatre d’œufs, which means forehead of eggs four eggs… I know it is silly, but that is what they said.

best one on the list there pal.
(some pretty amazingly bad choices as well though)
orange crush - rem eighties - killing joke atmosphere - JD primary - cure kennedy - wedding present sidewalking - JAMC groove is in the heart - deelite a little time - beautiful south suedehead - morrissey happy mondays - WFL build - housemartins
- Suedehead, Morrissey (Tim Broad)
- All is full of love, Bjork (Chris Cunningham)
- Bedtime stories, Madonna (Marc Romanek)
- Fell in love with a girl, The White Stripes (Michel Gondry)
Freestyler - Bomfunk MC's Shakespear's Sister - Stay Mysterious Times - Sash (if only because I'd love to have some reason to race around 1990's Berlin in a hiace)
One that doesn't go in with the musical tastes here at all - Faint by Linkin Park is extremely well directed, and almost reminiscent of TPK in what it does.
Sure I'll think of more
Every Day Is Like Sunday - Mozza She Sells Sanctury - The Cult Enjoy The Silence - DM November Rain - G N R Just - Radiohead Perry Mason - Ozzy

used to see that vid all the time in the late 80's at a club that used to put vids on in time to the music. the vids like an industrial/post nuclear wasteland, and I'm sure morrisson was sort of like a slavemaster gettin people to line up and work. quite startling it was.

Can't remember what the songs called but it's Radiohead where the guy's lying on the ground and wont tell anyone why, I can't lip-read so i'd love to know what the guy say's at the end to make everyone else lie down, can anyone help?.

Just.
Great song, isn't it?
Two pages in and im the first to mention "Teardrop",or "Unfinished Sympathy" both by Massive Attack. The latter completely ripped off by The Verve.
Karmacoma is another good Massive Attack video. Left the MA vids off my list on purpose. Just like everybody else who bought their video compilation dvd, I felt cheated because the sound was in fookin mono. Record companies walk in mysterious ways.
Sky Starts Falling .Latest Doves video.All countless bi-planes and giant tea cups and saucers weaving formations in the skies conducted by some squire on the ground.Two airships pull a country manor house up from its foundations and drop it at the end of the song into a giant tea-cup shaped old industrial funnel thingy.Theres possibly a message in there somewhere but fooked if i know what it is.
Oh and as mentioned already the Aphex Twin vids and Chemical Bros Let Forever Be.Bit of freak out the first time i saw that Let Forever Be vid.
Massive Attack`s video compilation is in mono?!.really?.that sucks.

It does. The official explanation was they wanted to please their fans by keeping the production costs and retail prices low. Hence no sleeve and mono sound.
Doing it for the fans 
Rings a bell, doesn't it.
