You should do it with the winning songs (i expect to see TNOW to go first if so)

What about a survivor thread for VIDEOS?

We shall pretend that Coffee and TV or Beetlebum won't be the automatic winners :lol:

Loser should be Country House without a doubt, i can't stand that video. Poor old Blur have that as one of the things they are best known for (generally, from my observations) :|

videos would just be
universal vs coffee and tv

strangely universal could win best song, best video, and yet be on the worst album

surely stereotypes, end of a century, tender, music is my radar are all worse
may be a crap song but at least some effort went into the video

I don't think the "do nothing" vids are that bad. I like the Tender video especially as its live (not too bothered about EOFC though). Stereotypes introduced me to the elaborate stage setup of the TGE tour, and i like MIMR's video for some odd reason.

Best video is Coffee imo

id agree with the stereotypes thing, cos yes its not easy to find footage from 95/96, the only full show i have is from the US and so its a small club with no stage setup

:lol: I like Country House, both song and video.

On the other hand, I also dislike when live footage is used for official videoclips :?

Coffee & TV would obviously win the video survivor. Sunday Sunday would be my choice to go first. Just like the song, shit.

I think it's for Damon being übergorgeus and sexy or so I heard :oops:

I don't really know in fact XD I just got the feeling it is very popular... though nothing could surpass Coffee and TV. EVER.

Sunday Sunday's video is responsible for creepy Damon face cutting roast chicken rapidly, wonky glasses on Graham when he and Alex pull of creepy smiles ready for dinner, annoying dog, fringe Alex washing car, a very very proud soldier, a caravan field surronded by skyscrapers, Alex using a weird workout thing..

so it does cover a lot of ground.

Sorry, i'm not sure what i'm writing, i be half asleep half caffeine, but not standardly awake.

I'm sorry but nothing will ever be creepier than There's no Other Way (UK). That's the perfect definition of creepy DX
