Praise You made waves right at the end of the decade, becoming one of the earliest flash mob videos. The low-budget enterprise featured a group of community dancers breaking into a routine in front of the Fox Bruin Theatre in Los Angeles.
Lauryn Hill’s 1998 video for Doo-Wop (That Thing)was remarkable because of its unique special effects. These used split-screen technology to depict her in two roles side-by-side: one was her contemporary self while the other was a woman from 1967. The video was widely acclaimed at the MTV Music Video Awards and has been called one of the best music...
The Red Hot Chili Peppers went above and beyond for their 1991 music video Give It Away. The video was an ambitious—and expensive—artistic exploration under the direction of Stéphane Sednaoui. The band’s label wasn’t a fan of the video, saying that it didn’t fit with their public image. Nevertheless, it was extremely popular on MTV, gaining them a ...
R.E.M. was extremely popular on the indie music scene of the 1990s, yet they did not often make music videos. This was reportedly because lead singer Michael Stipe hated lip-synching. But in 1994, the band capitulated with a music video for Crush With Eyeliner. The video depicted them as a mainstream Japanese pop group, an image that symbolized the...

- Jamiroquai: Virtual Insanity (1996) Director: Jonathan Glazer. No list covering 90s music videos would be worth its salt without the mind-bending promo by UK pop-soul act Jamiroquai.
- Björk: All Is Full Of Love (1999) Director: Chris Cunningham. For some artists, music videos are not merely a tool for publicity, but an extension of their artistic expression, and no musician embodies that more than Björk.
- Nine Inch Nails: Closer (1994) Director: Mark Romanek. Shot on a vintage hand-crank camera with stylistic yet perverse shots of a disembodied heart, a twirling pig’s head and Trent Reznor in full S&M gear, the music video for Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer” resembles found footage from a Victorian snuff film rather than something you’d find on MTV.
- Nirvana: Smells Like Teen Spirit (1991) Director: Samuel Bayer. Just as “Smells Like Teen Spirit” catapulted Nirvana to mainstream success, its gritty video served as the benchmark for grunge culture and the teen rebellion to the MTV-watching masses, who ate it up with their morning breakfast.
