90. Grizzly Bear - Two Weeks
89. Yeasayer - 2080
88. Hanne Hukkelberg - A Cheater's Armory
87. The Notwist - Pilot
I wish this song had a better video that didn't include distracting overdubbed voices and sounds ... but I tried not to take into account the quality of the videos in choosing the songs.
86. Norah Jones - Don't Know Why
85. Styrofoam - Couches in Alleys
Ben Gibbard (of the Postal Service and Death Cab for Cutie) does guest vocals for this one-melody masterpiece. It's initially disconcerting to hear Auto-Tune applied to the vocals of an indie rock star, but it's ultimately more effective than the average dance club track. The insistent syncopation of the drum-machine beat is oddly affecting.
84. Thom Yorke - The Clock
83. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Counting Down the Hours
(Listen to track 4 here.)
82. The Flaming Lips / Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You out of My Head
The Flaming Lips' cover is pretty much the antithesis of Kylie Minogue's original. The latter, by the way, reached #1 in the charts in 40 countries.
81. Dirty Projectors - Stillness Is the Move

The "Pilot" video is, I think, a very good piece of audiovisual art in its own right. But it does draw attention away from the music. So, for me, it leads to the more general question of what you want from your music video.
