Yeah, don't get me wrong here but most videos these days are pretty shallow in terms of what they are trying to express in them. Do I really care about Britney Spears becoming a pole dancer? No! Do I really care that mr. rapper of the month drives a $500,000 car and slaps womens asses? No!

What do you think are some of the better music videos past or dare I say present that have a powerful message within it? One that sticks out in my mind is "Do the Evolution" by Pearl Jam. Watch it on YouTube if you haven't seen it, and notice it is a bit more deep then the Hannah Montana's that plague this decade! www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoNmNmXExZ8

Your picks?????

I like What Ive Done by Linkin Park, CrushCrushCrush by Paramore, and Rose of Sharyn by Killswitch Engage.

I like those videos x)

And I really really like Note To Self by From First To Last's video

Rooster-Alice in Chains

Closer has some pretty deep ideas and themes in it... But it isn't safe for work.

I don't think they should have a meaning. You titled this "Music videos that actually have something to say?" like they are suppose to have something to say. These are music videos, it's not important for them to have a moral. It can be the band looking cool while playing live, it can be the band playing waist deep in the ocean. We don't need everything in life to be some scholars opium trip out with a hidden meaning, giving us a code to live our lives by.

But anyway, a music video that has something to say 'Just' by Radiohead. It tells you not to take music videos seriously.

Those are indeed some good comments. I don't mind the videos that are there to have fun with, but when 85% are about as original and generic as a Back Street boys video then it gets a bit old. I would settle for 50/50 but that hasn't been the case for a longggggg time. Radiohead is a good pick though.

Megadeth had the same message's in the 80's and did it a whole lot better. Just look up Peace Sells.

They should make it a rule to get modded every time you do that.
