Top Music Video in 2000's

I found top 50 video in pitchfork.com but i don't know most of video in the list. i never watch them, i only know 10 of them, so here is my The Top 10 Music Videos of the 2000s based on that list.

M83
"Kim & Jessie"
[Dir: Eva Husson; 2008]








Like the cousin to both the Chemical Brothers' Sofia Coppola-starring "Elektrobank" clip and the legion of Bring It On-like teen films this decade. Like M83's music, however, it goes for wistful rather than laughs.



Röyksopp
"Remind Me"
[Dir: Ludovic Houplan/Hervé de Crécy; 2002]




One of the better animated clips of the decade, Röyksopp examine everything from how a toilet flushes to the fluctuating world economy; in the process, they demonstrate both the effects of globalization and the compartmentalized and predictable rhythm of modern life.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs
"Maps"
[Dir: Patrick Daughters; 2003]




Are you surprised by her tears? Strong women also cry...strong women also cry.

MGMT
"Time to Pretend"
[Dir: Ray Tintori; 2008]




M.I.A. and the Klaxons may have beaten MGMT to the lo-fi day-glo video look later also adopted by Ponytail, Dan Deacon, and tons of other dudes not from Baltimore, but on "Time to Pretend" the whole aesthetic was perfected.

The Chemical Brothers
"Star Guitar"
[Dir: Michel Gondry; 2006]




We're not sure how Michael Gondry did it either.

Radiohead
"House of Cards"
[Dir: James Frost; 2008]




In the 1990s, Radiohead excelled at simple metaphors about paranoia ("Karma Police"), apathy ("Just"), and perpetual distraction ("No Surprises"). When they've done clips this decade, however, they've tended to be marvels of craft, such as this clip for "House of Cards", which was made without the use of cameras-- it was created using a pair of laser-like contraptions.

Dinosaur Jr.
"Over It"
[Dir: Mark Locke; 2009]




Like all those Crystal Pepsi and Mountain Dew commercials, but funny.

Björk
"Wanderlust"
[Dir: Encyclopedia Pictura; 2008]




Another pure technical marvel in a visual career full of them for Björk, this video was made using something called stereoscopic 3-D. Near as we can tell that means, here that means using 2-D puppets, miniatures, live action, and computer graphics and laying them over one another to create the illusion of 3-D.

Sigur Rós
"Vaka (Untitled #1)"
[Dir: Floria Sigismondi; 2005]




Like their music, Sigur Rós' videos can threaten to tip over from the heart-filling to the manipulative; their clip for "Svefn-G-Englar", featuring a special needs theater group tips over the wrong side. This video, featuring a sort of post-apocalyptic playground, does not.

Weezer
"Pork & Beans"
[Dir: Mathew Cullen; 2008]




Someone was going to do it, you could argue, but Weezer did and did it well, piecing together internet memes into a memory-jarring trip through 00s ephemera. Or should we say culture? I don't even know anymore.
