i'm not a big fan of pitchfork, nor of these best of lists, but their 100 awesome music videos(via yip yop) are pretty interesting. not so much for what's included(though there are quite a few interesting things there) - but because they limited it to videos on youtube. so you can see the top videos instead of just reading about them. the write ups for the most part are pretty moronic anyway. but one nice thing is the director is listed so you can see who directed certain videos. i had no idea that toni basil co-directed talking heads' once in a lifetime.

of course there seems to be a lot of omissions. no rem, no coil, no pizzicato five just to name a few. thinking about what was missing made me wonder if youtube had anything on the plastics and to my complete happiness they did:
