All-time favorite video is "The Sweetest Thing". Just knowing what inspired it, seeing all the stuff Bono's doing for Ali in it, the whole thing makes me go, "Awwwww..."
.
Other videos I like for concept-related reasons and which would make up the rest of my top 10 U2 video picks:
2. "Please"
3. The drag version of "One"
4. "Stay"
5. "Where The Streets Have No Name" (I love videos that show a band wandering around town or performing in a town or whatever with curious onlookers passing by. The people's reactions are fun to watch)
6. "Lemon"
7. "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" (even if cartoon Bono does look a lot like Jack Nicholson in it)
8. "Discotheque" (it's just hilarious)
9. "Miss Sarajevo" (heartbreakingly lovely)
10. "Last Night On Earth" (I'm still trying to figure out what the fuck this video's about. It's so freakin' bizarre, and I like that)
For purely shallow reasons, I like the bar version of "One", "Desire", and "Night and Day" in particular. Um. Yeah
.
Loved the fan videos, too. That one for "Exit"...yeowza. The
"Saw the hands that build could also pull down the hands of love" bit and the end gave me friggin' chills. I liked that a lot, very intense and really good.
