This list is limited to one man's personal favorites. I have seen nowhere close to every music video ever made and do not profess to be anything near an expert on the subject, so don't write back and ask why such-and-such didn't make my list.
1. Thriller, Michael Jackson
This video is an epic. Presented as a mini-movie, it redefined the genre. Nobody performs like Michael Jackson did before he got weird. Besides, you just can't top dancing zombies.
2. Fell In Love With A Girl, The White Stripes
Mad props to the genius who decided to make an entire video using legos and stop-motion videography.
3. Crazy, Aerosmith
I could nominate any of the triumverate of "Get A Grip" videos featuring Alicia Silverstone, but the prize goes to the song where she's joined by Liv Tyler in the roles of truant schoolgirls who strip down to their underwear and go frolicking around town.
4. Buddy Holly, Weezer
Any video with the Fonz makes my list. This video marvelously manages to splice Weezer into footage from the show Happy Days. It's so seemless that if you didn't know better, you'd think Weezer actually made a guest appearance on the show back in the 1970's.
5. Rock D.J., Robbie Williams
I figure that if I put "Crazy" on the list, I need something for the ladies out there. If you think Robbie Williams has finished his striptease in this rather disturbing video, you'd be wrong. He's just getting started.
Honorable Mention: Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen
A classic video in which one of the greatest rock bands of all time is at its epic finest.
