Best 6 for 06 – Music Videos

And now for the best music video clips for the year. I have to admit this was pretty hard, as I probably would not have seen every clip, so if I miss any let me know. Although I have seen quite a lot, both on TV and on the Internet (As you would know its hard for me not to see clips everyday)
Without any further ado:

6) Dani California – Red Hot Chilli Peppers – This is a truly awesome music clip, showing the history of rock ‘n’ roll by mimicking the likes of Elvis, The Beatles, Jimi, Nirvana and the like. The changes of eras are welded almost seamlessly. Well directed and choreographed, I highly rate it.

(Due to restrictions click me to watch)

5) White and Nerdy – Weird Al Yankovic – From the maker of such classics as “Fat” and “Eat It” comes one of the funniest clips of the year. Of course, to get the jokes you would have to watch the original clip. It caused worldwide stir on the internet and as a result was played continuously on TV. His album “Straight Outta Lynwood” soon followed, an absolute hilarious collection of songs to say the least.

4) Crazy – Gnarls Barkley – The hypnotic swirls which create this clip are definitely unique and it is ultimately one of the coolest clips this year. The smooth transitions between each picture match the smooth beats of the song which make for a classic clip.

3) My Love – Justin Timberlake – All hail the king! The clip is almost cooler than the song itself. With the likes of Timbaland and T.I. this song/clip is killer! Where do I start? The choreography, the direction, the great use of black and white, JT’s dancing, the camera angles, all absolutely incredible! Then to finish it off, a simple swirl and walk away. Beautiful.

2) Here It Goes Again – OK Go – When I first saw this clip, I could not believe how awesome it was. Seriously, this clip is absolutely brilliant. The choreography is spectacular! Who would have thought 4 guys on treadmills would be so entertaining. It’s one of those clips you can watch again and again, so go on, here it goes again.

Find out number one after the jump…

1) Touch the Sky – Kanye West – You knew I couldn’t help myself, yes, this is slightly biased. Despite all you haters out there, this is gotta be the best clip of the year, I mean “it cost him a million dollars” and “it had Pam Anderson” ha! Well seriously it is, because it truly is an epic clip. The doors closing, the camera angles, Kanye in the clouds, it had it all. I don’t know bout y’all, but before the day I die, I’ma touch the sky!

Instead of my usual Honourable Mentions I’ve included clips for all you guys out there. (Probably NSFW duh!) Enjoy…
