Nine Music Videos featuring Moving Machinery

1. Alicia Keys - "No One" 2007 *I don't get excited about Alicia Keys songs anymore, but, she is still an amazing artist.

2. Bjork - "All Is Full Of Love" 1999 *Robot Bjork is scary.

3. Chris Whitley - "Big Sky Country" 1991 *I listened to this on a road trip to Montana with my parents, it really is big sky country. The video is heroin chic, guns, tarot cards, bells, sped up bumper car scene, moving photographs, and oddly placed machine parts.

4. Dilated Peoples - "The Platform" 2000 *That is the coolest slot machine I have ever seen.

5. Joe Dirt - "Experiment" 2013 *Mediocre politically aware UK Hip Hop.

6. Pink Floyd - "Another Brick In The Wall" 1982 *It is a large conveyor belt of children.

7. Howard Jones - "No One Is To Blame" 1986 *Rad eighties slow jam.

8. Grizzly Bear - "Knife" 2007 *The machine that they have reminds me of that MouseTrap game. The song is meh.

9. Gorillaz - "19-2000" 2001 *If you don't listen carefully at all, it could sound like they say "unskinny bop" a few times in this song.

Ten Music Videos featuring New York Yankees Hats

2. A$AP Rocky - "Purple Swag" 2011 *This blonde girl is kind of scary.

3. Jay-Z and Alicia Keys - "Empire State of Mind" 2009 *Naturally, there would have to be a Jay-Z song on this list.

4. 112 featuring Biggie and Mase - "Only You (Bad Boy Remix)" 1996 *Totally 90's.

5. The Physics - "The Goodbye" (Song 2012, Video 2013) *This is a bad breakup.

6. MAB - "The Dark Side Of My Mind's Eye" 2013 *The novelty of the British rapper combined with this familiar beat made me watch it twice.

7. SWV - "Weak" 1993 *Yankees hat on the ironing board.

8. Brand Nubian - "Slow Down" 1990 *Hat is sitting on top of a tv.

9. KRS-One - "The Bridge Is Over" 1987 *Guy in the crowd holds up his Yankees hat.

10. Kooley High - "All Day" 2011 *Upon further reflection, I have decided that these guys are not that cool. I also realized that the dude on the left is not Kid Cudi.
