Most music videos, especially modern ones, are pretty boring.
Dire Straits Money for Nothing was amazing at the time. Turn Down for What is amazing in its own way. Smashing Pumpkins Tonight, Tonight. Michael Jackson had a few good ones.
I love all Tool videos. They are all impressive.
R.E.M. - Imitation of Life. The entire song happens in a few seconds, with all parts at the same time. The video keeps rewinding, each time showing one of the parts.

Join me, fellow weebs!
They got a pro anime studio to make it. You can feel the caring of the father even though he’s only in it a few seconds.
Porter Robinson - Dullscythe
Weezer - Pork and Beans. As someone who wasn’t even alive during the era of YouTube when it came out, it is really mesmerizing seeing that day’s stars all in one place. Not to mention the actual video is super funny and well done. The ending scene is so cathartic. Plus the song itself is cathcy and has a nice message.
