Dark and disturbing music video - obviously a commentary on modern society, but I will leave the symbolism to your own interpretations.
Directed By Jonathan Glazer, a British director known for original music videos since the mid-1990s and was named MTV Director of the Year 1997. He has also directed the films “Sexy Beast” (2000 starring Ben Kingsley) and “Birth” (2004 starring Nicole Kidman).
This seemed appropriate for the first post of what I hope will be many that chronicle the finest in both music and the music video artform itself. The music video for the 1979 song “Video Killed the Radio Star” was the first music video to be shown on MTV when the music channel debuted on August 1, 1981, at 12:10 A.M. It also became the millionth video to be aired on MTV on February 27, 2000. And now its greatest honor - as it unveils BestMusicVideos.org!
Directed by Russell Mulcahy who went on to direct some famous music videos for Duran Duran, Elton John, Billy Joel, and dozens of other bands before directing the cult classic movie Highlander and most recently Resident Evil: Extinction.
This site is intended to showcase the Best Music Videos from across the decades and spans all musical genres of the video age from rock to alternative to rap to reggae to R & B to Pop. Its part appreciation of the music and part appreciation of the cinematic qualities of the music video artform.
