I agree w/the #1 video! Bjork is innovative and creative. However, MGMT's "Electric Feel" video should be at the #2 spot!

I've been a bjork fan since since 8th grade (1996) and sorry but i hate the last two albums:(
Where the fuck is lady gaga just dance video?!
What are these so called "music videos" and where might you watch them? They should start a channel called Music Television so that we could have a place to watch these "music videos".
how can you expect to have the attention of a non stoned person for 7:38?? i stopped at 5:48.
is it just me, or who are most of the bands on this list???
WTF!!! No harrybalsac & the nuts " I want to teabag U!" SHIT!!!!!
Where are these Spin people from? This is B.S.!!!
go bjork
OMG who the fuck is bjork? Never heard of her and sounds like a pathetic attempt at singing my ears still hurt. Who picks these "winners"? Tone deaf idiots
i really love bjork. i'm glad she got the number one slot.
That Thunderheist vid / track is the hottest.
BJORK!!!!! ARE YOU FUCKIN' KIDDIN' ME!!!!! I want to find the guy who first heard her and said " Holy Shit, we got to get this fuckin' retard recording deal!" and beat that mutherfucker with a baseball bat till he repents for his sin!
Re: Gigit – Re: Jupiter*Girl – Re: NYbiatch – Re: yayazumalove – Re: Stefanie – FUCKIN' RETARDS, ALL OF YA!
What a horrible list. I don't know 80% of those people or groups or whatever they are. Where are the R&B and Hip Hop acts? And Beyonce should have been number one. That was and is one hot song and video.
bjork rules. awesome video and song. the video to her all is full of love is the greatest music video to date.
love beyonce. hot video but it was "heavily inspired" by fosse's wife's performance from long ago. the bjork video is completely original and found materials were used to create the creatures and props. innovative……..
Music videos are dead.
Björk is a genius, people either love her or hate her.
Her name is BjÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖrk, not Bjork.
What a stupid list. Spin always tries WAY too hard to be on the cutting edge.
Please, half of these songs weren't even popular…
Wanderlust video is the best of the decade, cause its beyond innovative… it is 3D!!! Björk its not human, she is super human!!!
I've always like Bjork but she needs to stop making records now, they all sound the same, it's boring BUT the video is pretty awesome so at least she makes sure to work with good directors….Single Ladies is on that list? That's the stupidist shit ever, I cant believe it's on there.
Re: natalie22 –
You better believe it HATER !!
IT'S BEYONCE
!!!!
Once I saw that YouTube video of that little girl dancing to Beyonces Single Ladies…I cant listen to it…bad message all around..Put a ring on it? are you kidding me?
i forgot they made music videos
Bjork deserves to be #1. That video is incredible.
I like how you idiots keep saying that you don't know "half of the bands on the list."
If its not, hip hop, rap, or shitty pop, you guys really have no clue do you?
fucking morons. GO LISTEN TO REAL MUSIC.
I think I'm old because I know very few of these artists, and I don't know any of the songs.
What planet do these people live on?
I LOVE BJORK SO MUCH!!!!!!!!! love love love
BPA deserves the #1 spot IMO. That video is GENIUS! Moby's "Oooh Yeah" should have been there as well.
And maybe Antony and the Johnsons "Another World"
So What with P!nk should be in the Top 20! and Justin & Madonna "4 Minutes".
#1 (Bjork's "Wanderlust" ) & #2 (The BPA… aka Norman Cook/Fatboy Slim with David Byrne & Dizzee Rascal) are spot on. I would have put "This Boy's In Love" by The Presets & "Happiness" by Goldfrapp on the list as well.
Beyonces video is just a copy from another artists!!!!
My video of the year is Rihanna with Disturbia.
I love the comments of angry surprise. hey idiots, it's spin magazine, you want your celbs to be number one, buy you teeny mags. Spin is making a great choice since rolling stone doesn't count anymore as a source of music info anymore.
The BPA should be on 1 ^^
I also think fleet foxes with 'white winter hymnal' and 'happiness' from goldfrapp should be on the list.
carmensita is the best video..and song! Devandra es el mejor!
Check out LeLe! It's awesome!
Are the first 11 (#20- #10) made up groups/songs???? I haven't heard of any of them. Plus, any list that doesn't have a naked Britney Spears in "Womanizer" is bullshit in my opinion
Re: JenSpen –
YOU'RE A FUCKING IDIOT.
Re: Milky Milky –
YES!!!!
Bahahahahhaahha! She's crap
Kudos my friend, you got to it before I did…
the bjork video hands down deserves it! anyone arguing otherwise is a moron.
What tha hell….those are all crap….my videos on you tube should be on the list
Vampire Weekend should have been higher…!
And it should have been Oxford Comma or A-Punk, not Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa…
MGMT is LUUUV!!
Oooh, look…all of the videos MTV COULD be playing!
ive barely heard of any of these who the fuck made this list? i hate it when people try so hard to be outside of the box. what happened to little weezy, kanye? britney? the people who actually had hit songs this year. feist was on a commercial, or no one would even know who that weird bitch is.
Bjork under-rated! She is deservingley #1 vid~~~!!!!!
