FAV MUSIC VIDS OF ALL TIME....

I STARTED THIS POST OUT TO BE 'MY TOP 10 MUSIC VIDEOS OF ALL TIME'. BUT THAT WAS TOO HARD TO DO. A LOT OF THE ONES I LOVE ARE BY THE SAME DIRECTORS SO THOUGHT IT EASIER TO TURN IT INTO MY TOP TEN MUSIC VIDEO DIRECTORS OF ALL TIME.

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER HERE ARE MY FAVOURITE 10...


1. SAMUEL BAYER 
HE PRETTY MUCH SET THE SECEN FOR GRUNGE VIDEOS IN THE 90'S. WE GOT SKY IN 95 & I VIDEO TAPED THESE ONES AND WATCHED THEM ON REPEAT. WAS ONLY RECENTLY I REALISED THEY WERE ALL DIRECTED BY THE SAME GUY SO THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY WHY I LIKED THEM STYLISTICALLY.

GARBAGE- STUPID GIRL



NIRVANA- SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT


HOLE- DOLL PARTS


THE CRANBERRIES- ZOMBIE

2. MARK ROMANEK

FAIR ENOUGH IF ANYONES GOT 7 MILLION DOLLARS TO PLAY WITH ON A MUSIC VIDEO ITS BOUND TO BE GOOD. BUT I REMEMBER WHEN THEY 1ST SHOWED A CLIP OF SCREAM ON THE BIG BREAKFAST & I TALKED ABOUT IT ALLLLLLL DAY IN SCHOOL. IF YOU DONT RATE SCREAM I CANT BE MATES WITH YOU.

MICHAEL & JANET JACKSON- SCREAM

HE ALSO DIRECTED EN VOGUE- FREE YOUR MIND

MADONNA- RAIN... I TAKE UP AT LEAST 200 OF THE VIEW COUNT ON THIS

3. SAAM

SAAM IS ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS BUT THIS IS A TOTALLY UNBIASED POST AS HIS WORK STANDS UP THERE AS THE BEST MUSIC VIDEO DIRECTOR OF MY GENERATION.   I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH HIM ON A FEW OF HIS VIDEOS. NOT THESE ONES BELOW BUT THEY ARE MY FAVS...

THESE NEW PURITANS- ELVIS... HE TOLD ME HOW HE DID THAT TO THEIR SKIN. NOT TELLING... SECRET.

JANET JACKSON- FEEDBACK...  WOAH. AMAZEBALLS

NOT ALLOWED TO EMBED ANY OF THE KLAXONS VIDEOS BUT LOOK THEM UP THEY ARE ALL AMAZING.

4. CHRIS CUNNINGHAM

WHEN I WAS AT COLLEGE. I WENT TO THE FOLLOW UP TO THE SENSATIONS EXHIBITION JUST TO SEE CHRIS CUNNINGHAMS FILM BUT I LIED ON THE DOOR & TOLD THEM I WAS A KID TO GET A CHEAP TICKET. THIS MEANT I WASNT ALLOWED IN THE ROOM TO WATCH HIS FILM. G U T T E D. 

BJORK- ALL IS FULL OF LOVE

APHEX TWIN- WINDOWLICKER

PORTISHEAD- ONLY YOU

THE HORRORS- SHEENA IS A PARASITE

5. HYPE WILLIAMS

HYPE WILLIAMS HAS DIRECTED SOME OF THE BEST R&B/RAP MUSIC VIDEOS OF ALL TIME & HIS BODY OF WORK IS IMMENSE. ITS LIKE HE COINED THE ARTIST SINGING INTO THE CAMERA WITH FISH EYE LENSE AS HIS OWN & HIS STYLE IS SO RECOGNISABLE. I THINK HE GETS IT REALLY REALLY WRONG IN THE STYLING DEPARTMENT THO. WITH THE REST OF HIS VIDEOS IT LOOKS LIKE HE DOESNT CARE ABOUT THE CLOTHES & JUST PUTS THE ARTIST IN THE SHOT & ROLLS WITH IT. BUT WILL LET HIM OFF ON THESE OCCASIONS AS THEY ARE AMAZING VIDEOS.

MASSIVE ATTACK- NICKI MINAJ... WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS I GOT SO EXCITED THAT BIG BUDGET LOOKING EPIC MUSIC VIDEOS IN THE DESERT, WITH FAST CARS & SUPERMODELS WERE STILL HAPPENING.

MISSY ELLIOT- SHES A BITCH not allowed to embed...PLS watch... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opkRF3UZSJw

2 PAC- CALIFORNIA LOVE

DR DRE FEAT SNOOP DOGG- STILL DRE

BUSTA RHYMES- WHOO HAH!

KELIS...

KANYE WEST- GOLDIGGA

6. SOPHIE MULLER

SOPHIE MULLER'S BODY OF WORK IS AMAZING. SHE DID ALL THE EURTYHMICS & ANNIE LENNOX VIDEOS WHICH ARE AN AMAZING CATALOGUE OF WORK BUT MY FAV OF HERS REMAIN....

SHAKESPERE SISTER- STAY

SADE- NO ORDINARY LOVE....  WATCH WATCH WATCH- MY FAV SADE VIDEO EVER. 1ST SHES A MERMAID THEN SHE RUNS DOWN THE DOCK IN AN AMAZING WEDDING DRESS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I85wXmSIbrk

7. JAKE NAVA

KELIS - MILKSHAKE

BEYONCE FEAT JAYZEE - CRAZY IN LOVE. WOAH BEYONCE IS SOOOOO F I T.

BEYONCE & SHAKIRA- BEATUTIFUL LIAR... I LOOOOOOOVE HOW THEY SWITCH SO MUCH & YOU CANT WORK OUT WHICH ONES WHICH. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exMDAsh_eIA

8.  MELINA
HER IDEAS ARE SIMPLE & ADMITTEDLY NOTHING NEW- THE CALIBRE OF ARTIST SHE WORKS WITH- BEYONCE DANCING IS ALL YOU NEED. I LOVE THESE VIDEOS BELOW & THAT SHE KEPT IT SIMPLE & LET THE ARTIST DO THE TALKING.

BEYONCE- UPGRADE YOU

BEYONCE- GREEN LIGHTS- BLOCKED FROM EMBEDDING. BORE OFF

SOLANGE KNOWLES- I DECIDED

RIHANNA- RUDE BOY

9. JEAN-BAPTISTE MONDINO
MOST OF MY FAVOURITE MUSIC VIDEO DIRECTORS ARE FASHION PHOTOGRAPHERS. THEY HAVE THE BEST EYE BY FAR. MONDINO IS MY FAV ART DIRECTOR OF ALL TIME.
MONDINO'S MUSIC VIDEOS, ADVERTS, CAMPAIGNS & RECORD SLEEVES ARE SOME OF MY FAVS OF MY FAVS OF EVER. HE REALLY SET THE SCENE FOR STYLE. WHEN I GO TO SLEEP AT NIGHT I DREAM OF MONDINO.

MADONNA- JUSTIFY MY LOVE

MADONNA- HUMAN NATURE


MONDINO IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME OF MY FAV AD CAMPAIGNS.
HE DID THE WHOLE 'LE MALE' & 'CLASSIQUE' CAMPAIGNS FOR JEAN PAUL GAULTIER (MY FAV DESIGNER OF ALL TIME).

11. STEPHANE SEDNAOUI
AS A FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER STEPHANE STARTED OUT SHOOTING AT THE FACE & NOW IS A REGULAR CONTRIBUTOR TO NUMERO, VOGUE & VISIONAIRE.


RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS - GIVE IT AWAY


BJORK- BIG TIME SENSUALITY



HE DATED KYLIE & SHOT A LOT OF HER CAMPAIGN PICTURES & DIRECTED THIS VIDEO FOR THAT AMAZING TRACK SHE COLLABORATED ON WITH TEI TOWA. THIS ALWAYS SHOCKS ME THAT ITS KYLIE. AMAZING REALLY.
