45. Jay-Z - “99 Problems” (D: Mark Romanek)
The Jigga and Rick Rubin cruise around NYC. If Jay-Z really wants to reclaim New York as his state, the “99 Problems” video makes his best case.
44. Of Montreal - “Wraith Pinned to the Mist and other Games” (D: Lauren Gregg & Craig Sheldon, Kangaroo Alliance)
Pulsing polka dots and whimsical animated creatures explode colorfully to life to the soundtrack of the most unlikely steakhouse jingle ever.
43. The White Stripes - "Conquest" (D: Diane Martel) This elaborate video finds Jack White at the bullfights—and illustrates exactly why sympathy isn’t a trait one looks for in a matador.
42. 50 Cent - "In Da Club" (D: aha-ahaboy/Ahmed Harathi)
Big-budget movie sets and special effects wow as 50 is revived and then studied at some kind of top-secret desert installation where Dr. Dre and Eminem—donning white lab coats—take notes on his progress. Then, when he’s 100 percent, he gets his party on in a classic club scene.
41. "She & Him - “Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?” (D: Marc Webb) 500 Days of Summer director Marc Webb draws you in with a mix of real-life footage and animation, but it’s the way he plays to Zooey Deschanel’s endless charms that really makes this such a great video.

What? No Feist?
Exactly: No Feist (1 2 3 4)???!!
Where's the Feist love?
I get it. You like Jack White. As you went the mainstream route for some of them, I think Toxic should have been on there. Also, "Oh Valencia" directors cut was a much better Decemberists video (and song). I think the most overlooked of the bunch though is Fleet Foxes "White Winter Hymnal." I'm not the biggest Fleet Foxes fan, but I don't think I've seen a video that so captures a song before.
oh dear god when are you going to quit it with these irrelevant lists? you're losing subscribers. this is unnecessary and boring.
No D.A.N.C.E.? This list is dead to me.
Where is Beck's "Girl"?

No41 - SHE & HIM "Why do you let me stay here" is miscredited. IT was directed by ACE NORTON not Marc Webb
Glad to see Johnny Cash's version of Hurt made it into the top 5. It would be number 1 on my list... I've never before or since seen a music video that actually brought me to tears.... so moving. What a legend Mr. Cash was... RIP
That OK GO video definitely deserved to be on there.
Rest of the list is pretty good too.
Seeing Michael Cera star in Islands' recent video made me realize that a music video doesn't actually need musical merit to be absolutely awesome: http://mog.com/Anna/blog/1697425
why, no, how is californication not number 1 yet not even in this list?????????? bias cough.
