"Spider-Man" by The Ramones

http://youtube.com/watch?v=i5P8lrgBtcU

I love The Ramones version of this song, because, well, it rocks.
"The path to Heaven runs through miles of clouded Hell."

Don't get too close, it's dark inside.

I gotta throw in my votes for Green Jello's "Three Little Pigs", Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice", the Beastie Boys' "Body Movin'" and Pearl Jam's "Do the Evolution" for reasons noted below...

Oh yeah, and Electric Six are always a sure bet for "memorable" videos...

Even though he grew up to be a child-molesting, middle-aged white woman, Michael Jackson's THRILLER video is still a classic . . . . and Weird Al Yankovic's video to AMISH PARADISE is simply hilarious.

Truely, my altime favorite is Iron Maiden's "Wasted Years".

[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZXEq_8-nrY

This was the song and video that got me hooked onto Maiden.

In my opinion, they are the best and will be the best.

Plus their mascot Eddie is real cool character.

More bands need mascots. Eddie was always awesome (so much so he even got his own action figures!) and I was also a fan of the Death's Head guy from the Megadeth album covers too. Though I could never get myself into a state of mind where I actually enjoyed Molly Hatchet's music, you've gotta love 'em for using Frank Frazetta art on their covers... although I'll never understand whomever it was that thought the perfect album art to accompany southern rock would be dark fantasy stuff... then again, from a marketing stand point, I've definitely purchased a few vinyls in my time solely for the sleeve art, so who am I to talk.

Ok, so it isn't the best video every.  The fact these guys aren't Spinal Tap is just funny to me.

Anubis already mentioned Do The Evolution which aside from being a kick ass song, is one of my favorite videos of all time.

That being said, I always loved the video for Sober by Tool:

Oh yeah, forgot Closer by Nine Inch Nails, another great one:

It's a shame that music videos don't exist anymore, and even when they do, they don't tell a story as used to be the case.

Yeah, the only story they seem to tell any more is that people who get plastic surgery, need attention at all times, and throw themselves around like they're the sexiest thing since sliced bread are all that today's pop culture tragedies need to convince them to spend their parents' money on crap. Oh yeah, and that everyone in the hip-hop industry apparently can't live without everything they own dipped in platinum and skanks, because these are like oxygen to them.

If anyone would like to join me in self-imposed exile from the mainstream, there's always room for one more...  :tongueout:
