Music and visuals together truly kick when well crafted...
The group at Pitchfork Media has put together a list of what they title "100 Awesome Music Videos." From My Chemical Romance you'll find "Helena," 2005, all the way back to "Hot For Teacher," Van Halen, 1984. This collection is definitely a trip down the musical runway.
From where this Citizen D is sitting, however, one major exclusion: Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit." I don't know anyone who could not get up and throw some things around after watching that video that captured the angst of an entire generation (R.I.P., Kurt). No matter, this is definitely worth a visit where you'll find a vintage 1978 video from Kate Bush: "Wuthering Heights," and The White Stripes's (not brother and sister, that's an urban myth), "My Doorbell" from 2005. Too, can we ever get enough of William Shatner doing "Rocket Man"? Apparently so, because that one is not included...
