Ten Music Videos featuring Motorcycles

1. Eve and Gwen Stefani - "Let Me Blow Your Mind" 2001  *I can't believe Gwen leaves her fabulous car in the intersection to ride on the back of a 4-Wheeler, I guess she can probably afford to get another one. Gwen and Eve are taking part in shenanigans.



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.



9. The Fugees - "Fu-Gee-La" 1996  *This video and album cemented their classic status.



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.
