2. James Blake - "Retrograde" 2013 *James Blake is always best when played loudly to better hear the intricacies of his music.
3. Patra feat. Yo-Yo - "Romantic Call" 1994 *2Pac is in this video! Also contains people riding illegally in convertibles, dogs, hanging laundry, bell-bottoms guy, and fierce dance moves.
4. Jody Watley - "Don't You Want Me?" 1987 *I love the sudden rainstorm, the choice of loverboy, and the innovative use of fans in this video.
5. Eddy Grant - "Electric Avenue" 1982 *The motorcycle is definitely one of the main characters in this video.
6. Santigold - "Disparate Youth" 2012 *This video makes me want to start a music video rating system and give this one top marks in every category.
7. The Knife - "Full Of Fire" 2013 *You may have heard of shock rappers (like Odd Future), this could be called a shock music video.
8. Aaliyah - "If Your Girl Only Knew" 1996 *I once saw Rahzel at a South Lake Tahoe casino do this song solo. I think this is one of her best songs.

10. Gang Starr feat. Big Shug and Freddie Foxxx - "Militia" 1998 *This might be the only video in which I have seen one of those tall wicker chairs, plus, there is a ninja motorcycle chick that kicks Guru through a window.
