Great Music videos! - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

It has been 25 years now since a-Ha realised the video for Take One Me:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EXxMlIExpo

It still looks brilliant today, the quality hasn't aged at all. It got me thinking- what other great music videos are there? Here are my nominations to kick this off:
Travis- Sing (Scotland, 2001)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1f2M5G9KG8
Never mind the monkey, just watch it all the way through.

Blur- Coffee and TV (England, 1999)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXRVX1AKAew
You may or may not have seen this one, it is rather touching...

Anna Vissi- Everything (Greece, 2006)

A very dramatic choice. This singer is like a Greek equivlent of Madonna

Talking about great music videos, I nominate Korn's Freak on a Leash:

I LOVE the animated parts of the video, animated by none other than Todd McFarlane, creator of Spawn. I especially love the design of the blonde girl in the red dress. The smile she does at the end is the best part of the video.

Fun Fact: Not only did Todd also do the album cover for the album the song is from (Follow the Leader), but the video was assisted by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, directors of Little Miss Sunshine.

Let's see...a bunch of my favorite 80's videos with an '06 video snuck in the middle:

"Don't Answer Me" by Alan Parsons Project, for the style:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALC7kt6iUHY

"Let Him Go" by Animotion, for being so incredibly '80s:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A6ZN5TBics

"Seven Nation Army", by White Stripes--a simple concept well-executed:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J2QdDbelmY

"Holiday" by The Other Ones, directed by Alex Proyas, for being both cheerful and secretly depressing at the same time:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3DsfGffOdM

And finally, "Got My Mind Set On You" by George Harrison, because it always puts smile on my face:
