well collected!!! (this must be the first "comment" posted at this blog ever - should be rewarded, somehow ...)
Very nice collection there, thomasrockstar. Well thought out and done with love, no doubt. Cheers to you.
very nicely gathered. hope to see you o'er there...
though some credit (or at least a link) to ol' antville wouldn't hurt round here...

A million thanks for putting this up. I was turned on to vids I never saw before.
Thanks for the great post! I'm currently watching...a gazillion of these music videos. Dammit, Internet, go faster...
muchisimas gracias! estupendisima seleccion de videos!!
No TOOL what a shame. Nice list otherwise.
tool didn't have an album to make videos from you retard
need...tool...and weed...tool and weed. UP THE WEED!!!
you forgot Bloc Party's 'Helicopter' video!!
nice list otherwise :)
I love this list and learned about a lot of videos I didn't know were made or have never seen linked on other blogs. I think the Easy/Lucky/Free video is a much cooler video than Gold Mine Gutted. But hey. To each his own.
well, just for the personal question of choice I would have brought Maximo Park a bit futher up.. But after all, you did a pretty good job. It's rare you found such a good collection of brilliant visuals plus good music theses days.
cheers.
Interpol's Evil was great, but OK Go should be on the list. I'm just gonna guess you didn't see it.
Great post! If you don't mind.. without your permission I linked it on ochblog.com
Hell, it's internet ;)
hey great list! gives me a chance to have a look around other mv's i've missed. but i was kinda disappointed not to see Beck's "Girl" mv on the list. cuz i really liked the idea of the Mad Magazine-inspired fold-ins. but oh well cool stuff!
Great post. Someone's put this up on metafilter.com. Expect a lot of traffic dude...
Nice going. How about some super furry magic? http://theonenetwork.com/music_videos/super_furry_animals/2097/the_international_language_of_screaming_300.html
nice selection, and i know some really great ones must be left out, but i think Jack Johnson's Sitting Waiting Wishing video is a really fun piece of great video.
What about Regina Spector's "US"
I couldn't bear to watch much of that Rubber Johnny video, what was that thing?
Very nice job !!
what about this fella:
http://www.coughcoughing.com/
no no no .. the best videos online are at http://www.uvtv.info .. although I admit these are OK lol
Cool!
But I feel some aren't worthy.As TOP videos?
For instance, Decemberists, great song, but the video? Meh!
Where is Pink Bullets [you may skip ad] by the Shins? Hey! Where ARE the Shins? That video was a creative surprise.
Great selection. Thank you !
Great collection mate!
Great list there, I'd like to add Four Tet's Smile Around the Face to those though.
Single Frame's "Exact Copy" is good too.
http://superalright.com/work/movs/exactCopy_Large.html
rosin murphy is a 3rd tier person with good taste in other people's music and style
Great list of videos here!
Well done! Only one omission that I can see (Death Cab for Cutie- make sure you go and see them when they play KBH, as it should be AMAZING...) do you realised you wer linked on XFM in London?
Brilliant list. Well thought out collection, pretty diverse and beautiful presentation.. you're good at this mate.
What about Regina Spector's "US"
I second that.
INTERESANTE, ES BUENO DESCUBRIR ALGO NUEVO, GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR EL MEJOR DE LOS RUIDOS, LA MUSICA.
LOLA DE ARGENTINA
Great list, fella. I had no idea that Wolf Parade had a vid for Shine A Light! That's what living in the UK does for you. I'd say that Lit Up by The National was my favourite. Something about those visuals that go so well with the music. Where was Disco Infiltrator by LCD Soundsystem though? Such an underrated video.
Keep the faith,
James
I don't know any of these songs.
I Gave You is by Will Oldham and Matt Sweeney from the album entitled Superwolf.
Great collection. Has anyone seen the vidso for OKGO-Million Ways? I can't explain it, but you have to see it.
Bravo!!!
Great selection thanks, commented on the story @ my own blog

well, nice job thanks
Check out your links, one video I downloaded was pr0n, the file is called Mr Hands.
Good selection otherwise !
Gorillaz always make fenomenal vids!
The Best, without any doubt is John Vanderslice... just the best, great video, great song, and great LP.
John, thanks, you have a new fan in spain.
would be nice if you could include the name of the production companies or video directors
i was definitely looking for "Plan B - (No Good)", and glad that it was in there.
thanks for posting this list up.
'twincam'.
would be nice if you could include the name of the production companies or video directors
Rubber Jhonny is AWESOME
With links! Awesome!
One of my favorites, not on the list: Ariel Pink's
For Kate I Wait"
nice list! altho, that Animal Collective video is from their album a couple years back.
Bright Eyes are from my home town!! Saddle Creek records, woohoo!
the unofficial video for Jed's Other Poem by Granddaddy is magnificent. I think it's this year.
http://www.stewdio.org/jed/
No no that Grandaddy video is old...but yeah it's cool!
I've never seen any of these except the interpol one. I live in a box. thanks! bye!
NONE OF THESE ARE RAP!!!
25. Plan B- No Good is RAP
The Cardigans URL is incorrect. This one should work:
http://www.stopost.se/backnet/upload/files/cardigansineedsomefinewine.mov
12. The Planets - Moving Along is rap also
No TOOL!? The Tool videos are a lot better than most of these... too bad. Not a bad collection tho.
Jessica Simpson - These Boots Are Made for Walking
this has got to be the stupidest list of Top 50 Music Videos of 2005. If you're gonna make a list you might as well include different genre. Wtf is this. I only know like 1 of the artists in the whole entire list. Geez. MTV's best music video would probably not even include any of these songs.
the title of that bright eyes song is "easy/lucky/free" - also, that's not the real video for the song, lol. where did you get that?
also, to anon - just b/c you don't know the artists doesn't mean they aren't good. retard.
oh, and weezer "perfect situation" belongs here.
every single song on there fucking sucks.
www.jcbsong.co.uk
How could that not be on there... awesome track and fantastic video.
someone obviously doesnt watch MTV
and btw, where in the hell did you find all these songs? i havent heard of any of them. its very sad youre biased against rap. its blatantly apparent
take more into consideration next time , moron
wtf?! Decemberists- 16 Military Wives, is like an exact copy (sans the use of Futura font) as Wes Andersons "RUSHMORE". idk, seems mighty ripped off...in a bad way.
hey nice bands and songs. these are awesome. most top 50 list's for music involve some talentless jungle jump are random spanish sexual inuendoes but this list has some honor and decency. Keep up the good work. ALL HEIL INDIE (the anti emo)
it's great you are sharing some unknown artist to the public. otherwise, i also am a fan of the indie genre the music had thought not songs about girls drugs and pot dont follow mtv or the rap crap that has no meaning. i knew a lot of bands and it is cool what you are doing. not only did you list the songs but you left links too. hope to see a list in the end of 2006. indie is coolios! bye for now.
Good job.
By the way, those who dont like bands that are not on MTV can go fuck themselves! cry you fucking consumerist pieces of shit. Do everyone a favor and kill yourself. fuck you!!!!!!!
Too bad the music in these videos suck.
Too bad the music in these videos suck.
One time I was surfing the internet and saw a picture of two guys kissing. Until I saw this list, that was the gayest thing I had ever seen.
all the videos on mtv are about some stupid emo shit or some black guy smoking weed and pimping some shit.... this is la la im a stupid idiot peace out... their brainwashing ur mind to buying their shitty gunot clothes and their rocawear shit... ur better off listening to kids bop.. btw mtv doesnt even play music most the time its some rerun of the real world road rules inferno challenge 83 or some guy dating someones mom..... ohhhhh u suck u have no mind of ur own u just listen to whatever everyone else is listening to, letting urself just get brainwashed .
"One time I was surfing the internet and saw a picture of two guys kissing. Until I saw this list, that was the gayest thing I had ever seen." is a hilarious comment. I only wish it was used on something that actually sucked.
This list is awesome.
this list sucks.. where are good charlotte and all the other rockers like simple plan???????
Very nice.
Glad to see some nice indie stuff. Thanks for posting these! I'm loving it!
Tomem no cu seus americanos chupadores de rola!
What a horrible collection. It's obvious who made this list, the same guy that threatened to blow up my school last year.
they had pretty good stuff but how could you miss Feel Good Inc. man!! or Clint Eastwood!!
okay so once i was like surfing this website and these guys had some opinion that was different to mine so I like spent five hundred hours insulting them and calling them gay
god my penis is so fucking huge
axwell, feel the vibe
great clip, not on the list?
would have liked to see some bad religion
p.s. you got on ebaumsworld.com
Phenominal list. Along with great videos, the music here is stellar. So much stuff I've never heard before but has in the last half hour made it to my playlist. I'll be waiting in Dec 2006....
I enjoyed your list but I think that I enjoyed the posts more. I especially like the ones where people complained about not knowing the artists/songs. I don't think that they read the title which is "top 50 best music videos of 2005". music videos. videos.
again, nice selection.
i love how everyone keeps talking about how mtv has better videos or there arent any songs that would be on mtv....see, thats because MTV SUCKS. most of the bands they show are overrated and dont even care about the videos, they just want to make it and pick up their paychecks. i dont know all the bands on here but i plan on watching the videos and im sure there are some videos that arent on here that should be, but please, dont compare mtv to any of this.
i thought the 'glosoli' video clip was the best of 2005. :) with bob sinclar's love generation not far behind.
the list fuckin sucks. there is no fuckin rap you pussy ass bitch.
isnt the Bright Eyes song Easy, Lucky, Free or am i halluncinating
but bright eyes is the best band ever, then interpol, who is also on the list but i have to say gorillaz is pretty gnarly stuff too
boards of canada as well
rap has destroyed everything beautiful about music. It sure takes some "talent" to make things rhyme. You cares about ryhming, make some fucking sense. tBy the way, I totally agree with aphex twin at the top of the list. Great list.
rap is definatly nowhere on the list, and rightfully so. because rap isn't music. not at all. sure, by technicalities it's music, but we all know differently. anyone who argues for rap is a complete fuckup, and belongs in hell. i hope that you die soon.
Hay rap is music and fuck you for saying all that fucking bs .
When i first looked at the list i was like what the fuck is this shit , its all this shitty rock music and i havnt seen one rap song . a bunch of bull shit.
..go whine to your crack whores and dubs
People like Jon above make me feel so much better about myself. I'm glad I'm not a clone. The list was awesome you showed me a bunch of new stuff and have a happy new years.
Well, i must say, This list isnt exactly what i would call music, But as it was said before "To Each, Their Own" This list is a bit lacking in everything i listen too. No Country, Rap, Hard Rock, Etc.. Never-the-less a good list. Good MV's as well. Just not my style.
Happy New Years Y'all
PEACE
Top 50 accoridng to who?
according to the number 1 music blog in the world...
Oh my lord.
Not insulting your intelligence, but what the hell does anyone care what you personally think the top 50 videos are???
First of all, About 50 of those videos suck, both graphically and the choreography suck. And as far as the animated ones go, if you're gonna use cartoons to display your so called "art" draw the animations frames your own dumb self. And another 50 (guess which) of those videos are also, ironically, crappy songs.
Second issue I have. This is a blog. Every once in a while, I wander off to a crappy website, see the bullshit, notice random idiots praising some jobless asshole with comments like "nice cumpilation m8 =D lol XoX" I mean honestly, you're probably never gonna see that loser with horrible taste that walks around 5th street with a 25$ Mocchaccino Latte Frappe and an IPod Nano wearing what he believes is metrosexual streetwear and believes in his own visions of inspiration. Seriously, take a second, look at yourself, stab your eyes out with your 34$ pencil and get a real hobby.
Blogs are by-far the most overrated waste of internet bandwidth and CNN is really really pushing it, same with NBC news and FOX news. enough abotu my hate for blogs, I'm gonna use the best waste of internet bandwidth out there, FREE INTERNET PORN. I'm out
We only do this blog to piss off people like you ! You fucking cunt ....
all you have to do is check out metacritic.com to tell you how hot this s**t is. At least half the bands on this list hit critical acclaim status by most critics' standards. If you've never heard of these bands before, you're watching too much MTV (the McDonald's of mainstream music) and letting phillistine consumerism get in the way of actually aquiring good taste in music. Granted, this list is particularly indie-friendly, but SO what.

This list is particularly indie-friendly, but obviously he's going to choose music he likes, not just to be inclusive of different genres.
If this isn't rap then what is?
The Planets- Moving Along
also No Good by Plan B is rap
and I suppose Hell Yes (Beck) counts as well, hell there's even some in Feel Good Inc and Dirty Harry.
also everybody care less. This is just one person's opinion of what some good videos this year are, nobody's forcing you to watch them. also I don't see what posting long insulting rants is going to do to solve anything
I like how one of the posts above was a rant on how he/she thinks blogging is a waste of time and waste of the internet.... yet that was the longest post here. Good one, you sure proved your point.
I liked the list. Very different and versitle. For people who are crying about no MTV and Good Charolote.... please spare yourself some time. OBVIOUSLY, this list is of personal oppinion. Yours is not needed. And in addition, Good Charolote sucks, we dont need anymore sell outs. And with regards to the "biased towards rap music," it seems to me that you are the one biased towards everything else. Rap videos are all the same and not creative. This list is for artisits who have compiled an original.
ANYWAYS...
high five to the list maker(s). very well thought out.
Overall a great list and a very nice setup.
All of you who enjoy this music join the flock at www.woxy.com (if your not already listening)
And are the majority of rap videos currently artistic? They include women and money. Hip-Hop is at a loss since it used to be a new form of expression not cliche MTV garbage.
Although some Kanye and Dangerdoom would have been nice on the list. I also enjoyed some of Pharrell's collaborative videos this year.
very nice collection...good job
very kick ass page!
