Sweetheart Of The Radio's Favorite Music Videos (Part 1)

Pitchfork are celebrating the genius of youtube by listing their top 100 Awesome Music Videos. Always keen to steal a good idea, here are some of Sweetheart of the Radio's favorite music videos:

Vincent Gallo: "Honey Bunny"
2001
Directed by Vincent Gallo
from: When

A bunch of models (and Paris Hilton) revolving round a huge turntable in their underwear. What else do you people want?

----------------------------------

Bob Dylan: "Subterranean Homesick Blues"
1967
Directed by D.A. Pennebaker
from: Don't Look Back

An obvious choice, but what the heck.

----------------------------------

Bobby Conn: "Never Get Ahead"
1997
Directed by Bobby Conn
from: Truck Stop

Funny and cool... just like the authors of this blog.

----------------------------------

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds: "Fifteen Feet Of Pure White Snow"
2001
Directed by John Hillcoat
from: No More Shall We Part

Before their collaboration on the quite brilliant movie 'The Proposition', Nick Cave and John Hillcoat team up on this little seen, but hugely stylish gem.

----------------------------------

Fiona Apple: "Criminal"
1996
Directed by Mark Romanek
from: Mark Romanek: Directors Series DVD

If loving this video makes me a perv and a bit creepy, so be it. Visually based around the aesthetic of snapshot photography this is a perfect example of how a great video can transport a mediocre song to a different level.

----------------------------------

R.Kelly: "Trapped In The Closet (Part 1)"
2005
Directed by R. Kelly & Jim Swaffield
from: Trapped In The Closet DVD

The most absurd, surreal, funny and brilliant set of video's I have ever seen, R. Kelly's 'Trapped In The Closet: Chapters 1-12' is a work of unparalleled (and almost certainly unintentional) genius.
