Top 5 Music Videos of 2008
I barely watch music videos to be honest, but of the few I’ve seen I guess they’ve been good enough to warrant some consideration as the top videos of the year. Anyway here are my choices but I do warn that I probably haven’t seen a lot of good ones.5. Old Prince Still Lives At Home by Shad
What more can I say about this video? Instead of Fresh Prince of Bel Air, you have the Old Prince of London, Ontario. It’s a funny parody that comes from a simple idea yet highly effective.

4. Stress by Justice
This video some people like, some people hate. Yes, it does glorify violence but it does capture the volatile nature of the song as well as capture the true nature of youth violence. Youth gangs, don’t usually have a motive, they just want to wreck havoc and from my point of view, it’s power in numbers where only a select few who do object to their violent and douchebag ways get their ass kicked. It feels like a real video in that sense is that the video glorifies this group of boys while they seem to be playing up to the camera.

#3 House of Cards by Radiohead
In Radiohead’s new video for “House of Cards”, no cameras or lights were used. Instead, 3D plotting technologies collected information about the shapes and relative distances of objects. The video was created entirely with visualizations of that data
Two words: Freakin’ cool.
#2 New Violence by White Williams vs TV Carnage
This video is fun to watch and to try to figure out which clips come from which movie. Probably my favorite track off White Williams’ Smoke, this video is fun to follow along

#1 Toe Jam by The Brighton Port Authority
What better way to start a music video with people taking off their clothes? You don’t really have an answer for that. While it’s not all about naked people, it’s really just a collaboration of using the censored section of the human body to create some pretty cool art, from various letters of the alphabet, to a recreation of the game pong. Can you tell me that this video is not worthy? Pretty cool stuff.
