This list of 20 songs with great clips is in no way exhaustive, and quite honestly, it hasn't even turned out to be THE 20 greatest film clips of all time- I have intentionally not included a lot of those clips that are iconic. Looking over the entire list (yes, it has been thought through, thoroughly!), I am quite positive that you will find something new here, either a song or an artist that you haven't heard before or a clip you've never seen before now.
Essentially the following list is a collection of songs that for some reason or other I like and they all have slips that I could watch over and over again.
20. Something To Talk About- Badly Drawn Boy
This is a nice little tune and the video has a nice story that runs through it. This song comes from the soundtrack for About A Boy, and often I find that the clips of songs from films are annoying and more like a 3 minute ad. This however is well executed- the parts from the film aren't obtrusive and contribute nicely to the story.
19. Silent Sigh- Badly Drawn Boy
I guess that there are some really obvious reasons why this one is here! I really like that this continues the story from 'Something to Talk About', but it is a clip that can stand alone as well. As for the song itself- I never grow tired of that piano line!
18. Come Into my World- Kylie Minogue
Good concept. Pretty sure that I would watch this with the Bro and we would try to follow the 'first Kylie' for the entire trip- try it!
17. Frontier Psychiatrist- The Avalanches
This one is just strange. I saw this and just thought 'What?!?'.
The Avalanches- great Australian band.
16. Penny On The Train Track- Ben Kweller
This clip features Ben Kweller's Grandma. How cool is that!
