Air

Air's "Kelly Watch the Stars" music video answers the question once and for all: Yes, ping pong is a sport. And...so is videogames.
BUY @ amazon
2

Bat for Lashes

A simple concept, Bat for Lashes's "What's A Girl To Do" video, features the singer biking on a pitch-black dark road near the woods. It's sort of spooky but, mixed with a little urban edge, also great fun.
BUY @ amazon
3

Beth Orton

A little bit of Sesame Street, a little bit of Bambi, a little bit of Woodstock. So, really, a little bit of everything.
BUY @ amazon
4

Bryan Ferry

Slow, gyrating beats met with slow, gyrating women. A perfect pairing.
BUY @ amazon
5

David Guetta

Over-the-top colors and bubble-gum graphics make this a pop video if there ever was one. Rainbows and hearts ftw.
BUY @ amazon
6

Doves

A solitary and melancholy music video, but that is to be expected for a song called "Kingdom of Rust." Landscape and emotion are beautifully paired and featured here.
BUY @ amazon
7

Empire of the Sun

The makeup and costume itself deserves some attention. But the bad acting (and top-notch song) is what makes this hilarious video really worth watching.
BUY @ amazon
8

Fatboy Slim

A timeless performance by Christopher Walken much worthy of its hall of fame acclamation.
BUY @ amazon
9

Hot Chip

It starts with typical boyband fanfare, except it's Hot Chip, so we know there's a catch. A catch embodied by a bald cone-headed man in a glowing robe played creepily and excellently by Al Doyle. Mockery of all teenage girls know and love.
BUY @ amazon
10

Kings of Convenience

A really fuzzy, innocent and--dare we say--cute depiction of dancing. The little ballerinas add to the "aw" effect.
BUY @ amazon
11

Kylie Minogue

Leave it to Kylie to bring out the sparkles, feathered boas and fringe dresses. Sensory overload is what this dancing queen does best and she pulls out all the stops in this video.
BUY @ amazon
12

Laura Marling

The video is grainy and filled with quirky animations that are just a tad disturbing. Somehow Ms. Marling makes floating lips, dismembered fingertips and broken glass seem adorable.

BUY @ amazon
13

Pet Shop Boys

It's like a weird sort of video game that you would only dream about. Weird...but cool.
BUY @ amazon
14

Phoenix

Movement is the key to this video. A cool visual interpretation of the beat, pace and rhythm of the song.
BUY @ amazon
15

Revolver

It's new-school ideas in an old-school setting. And snapping. Lots of snapping.
BUY @ amazon
16

Röyksopp

An animated video of a huggable boy/bear who's endangered and lost. The polar bear bobbing his head is totally awesome.
BUY @ amazon
17

Swedish House Mafia

Black and white with flashes of bright color. The hip and candid shots are meant to look like it's taken from a handheld recorder and make it seem like a true visitor's paradise or the best vacation ever.
BUY @ amazon
18

The B-52's

The sickeningly sweet smile on their face, the fluorescent-lined escalators and the awful dialogue contribute to the overall ridiculousness of this great video.
BUY @ amazon
19

The Chemical Brothers

From the faded colors of a boring town to the vibrant hues of internal chaos, The Chemical Brothers' Setting Sun takes us through a world of disorder that only they can envision.
BUY @ amazon
20

The Japanese Popstars

Visual art is front and center here and The Japanese Popstars know how to use simple lines and graphics as a brilliant way of storytelling.
BUY @ amazon
21

The Kooks

Not many videos boast about their lack of lighting, but here, the dark setting is a huge and clever way to tell a story.
