The Most Awesome Music Videos of 2011 | Video Ga Ga (NEW) - Yahoo! Music

Comment on those and/or name videos that should have been on the list instead.

Ugh. How the fuck does Katie Perry's "Last Friday Night" and the Black Eyed Peas get above Radiohead's awesome "Lotus Flower" from the awesome King Of Limbs Album?

Let's be honest: anyone could make a more impressive list than that. It looks like someone was trying to just name 20 music videos.

Uh, I think "Last Friday Night" is ranked correctly (for the short version, the long version just wastes time). "Lotus Flower" doesn't even belong on the list - I find it boring. Also, "Girl Panic" is ranked much too high.

But "I Wanna Go" (Britney Spears) should have been on there (funny, clever stuff), and I think the correct 2011 Best Coast video is "Our Deal," which is long without feeling bloated.

Here's another list, from earlier in the year. I think it's too tame.

At least give the Yahoo list credit for including obscure videos.

Wow. I can't believe they crammed in:
-Licking a girl underwater
-Falling off a skateboard
-Skating down the banisters of an escalator
-Smashing about 10 computers/TVs
-Frying eggs
-"Media hatred"
-Smashing random things with skateboard
-Throwing toilet into road
In 2 minutes one second.

That's the beauty of it.

The best kind of video is one that enhances your experience of a song, and that video definitely succeeds at that.

Salami · 12-11-2011, 11:36 AM

I'll be honest: I watched that about five times just now.

Must be one of the most intense videos I've seen for a long time. And the video really compliments the vocals. I agree; /thread!
