Top 50 Music Videos of 2006

Now, with the whole YouTube craze upon us, it's time once again to revisit the always-awesome DoCopenhagen blog and their Top 50 Music Videos of the Year list. Last year, downloadable links were provided for all the videos, but now you can watch each and every one of them directly from the site. Cool deal!

Here are some of my picks from the list:

#1: OK Go, "Here it Goes Again"
No big surprise there.

#3: Gnarls Barkley, "Crazy"
While not their best video (that goes to the "Smiley Faces" video with Dennis Hopper and Dean Stockwell), the Rorshach test effect is trippy. Plus, it's "Crazy" so...yeah.

#30: The Horrors, "Sheena is a Parasite"
Chris Cunningham took the top spot last year with his creepy-as-f*ck "Rubber Johnny" video, and while this one can't compare, it is pretty awesome given its brief running time, and it's fun to see all the crazy stuff he does to 2-time Oscar-nominated actress Samantha Morton.

#34: Gnarls Barkley, "Gone Daddy Gone"
Certainly the band's creepiest video. If you ever wondered what Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse would look like in bug form, now's your chance.

That just scratches the surface of the wealth of awesome videos you'll find on his site. Go and see for yourself.
