The Beatles - I Am The Walrus
In terms of creativity, I think this video goes up and beyond the imagination. This video comes from the original film The Magical Mystery Tour which in itself it a very weird and creative film. The colours throughout the video are very vivid and bold allowing The Beatles to stand out as individuals. I know from background research that the film is based around when the Beatles were experimenting from drugs and a lot of the ideas in this video and in the original film deviate from their experiences with drugs.

Oasis - All Around The World
The above is the music video by Oasis for their song All Around The World. The reason that I find this video so interesting is again the creativity and colours. Oasis are very big fans of The Beatles and I believe that this video is very similar in terms of creativity and ideas to that of The Beatles and their video's such as Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and I Am The Walrus. I also like alot of the camera angles in this video such as the zooming pans which there are a lot of. The animation theme of the video reminds me a lot of Yellow Submarine by The Beatles and I think the animation is a very clever and appealing aspect of the video.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can't Stop
The video for the Red Hot Chili Peppers' track "Can't Stop" from their 2002 album "By The Way" displays a very visual and random video. Directed by Mark Romanek, the video consists of seemingly random and excessively abstract actions that would seem very weird to an audience with no background knowledge on the video itself and the director. Romanek attempted to mirror Wurm's abstract "One Minute Sculptures", by having the band perform random scenes, which seem to fit no purpose. This degree of creativity intruges me and I believe it fits the song nicely and provides and interesting music video.
Of Monsters and Men - Little Talks
"Little Talks" by Of Monsters and Men, an Icelandic indie folk band, released it's music video on Youtube on Febuary 2nd 2012, when it catapulted the band into nationwide popularity. The reason I like this video is because it's very different to anything I've ever seen. The video shows a group of men walking through fantasy lands and only survive due to the aid of a supernatural force in the form of a woman. Designing the video and the animation would take alot of thought and preperation and I admire the way in which the directors, Mihai Wilson and Marcella Moser, have managed to do this and accomplished such a video that went on to be nominated in the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards for Best Art Direction in a video.
