Default Re: Best music video of all time!

Years ago The Replacements were forced (or something to that effect) to do a video by their record company and doing videos apparently wasn't their idea of what rock was supposed to be about. So they simply had a still shot of somebody (probably a band member, maybe Paul Westerburg) slightly off camera sitting on a couch. All you could see was his arm as he smoked a cigarette. In the background was a speaker with the cover off so you could see the woofer moving as it played one of their songs. That was it ;-)

I treasure the fact that I grew up to rock without videos, and have my own images of what a song may be trying to illicit.
