i think it's dumb they didnt include Death Grips but had Major Lazer. Death Grips have a unique, strange set of music videos because they're so one of a kind and creative, and i think that they are either on some weird combination of drugs or have a genuine mental illness in addition to their creativity, whereas Major Lazer are weird for the sake of being weird.
Tool and Primus deserve to be much higher. And Rammstein and Death Grips should've at least been mentioned. Maybe Nine Inch Nails should've been on the Top 10 but I'm still fine with them as an honorable mention. And Radiohead and Marilyn Manson are deserving of their places too.
in Aphex Twin's case, the videos enhance the experience of the song, making it just more terrifying. Not that that's a bad thing, in fact it makes the music more immersive
Kosta Jovanovic They had plenty of other weird videos too. In, "In Bloom," they were all in dresses and throwing model planets at one another and sitting on each others shoulders and destroying the set etc.
Rammstein should have gotten at least an honourable mention. When they do freaky music videos, they can back it up with similar bizarre live performances!
WOW Pond and DeMarco on Honorable Mentions! I knew Björk, Aphex Twin, Die Antwoord, Tool and Manson would be in the list. But I think Dir en Grey would also be on the list.
That Aphex Twin thumbnail caught my attention. Good list overall, I'd just quibble about the order (Tool and Aphex Twin higher, Manson lower) but Bjork is a worthy top spot for being the most consistently strange yet accessible.
The Come to Daddy video was also featured on the lists for "Another Top 10 Most Controversial Music Videos" (as an honorable mention) and "Top 10 Most Terrifying Music Videos" (at #1)
The Residents. The Residents. THE FREAKIN' STINKIN' RESIDENTS!!!! They are the grandfather of all these bands. Didn't put them on here and did not put them on your "Weirdest Bands" list. How much research are you doing?
Nirvana, Cage the Elephant, or Artic Monkeys should have at least been honorable mentions. "Heart-Shaped Box", "Come a Little Closer", "Do I wanna know". Anybody with me?
Imo... Tool and Aphex Twin should have been higher, Nine Inch Nails should have been on the list (not just honorable mention) and Rammstein should have at least got an honorable mention.
Thought yall were going to leave out Björk for a minute, and I was going to have to tell you all off, but nope! You did me proud! At the #1 spot right where she belongs! Kudos!!
The first time I saw the video for Tennis Court, I loved how minimalist yet fitting and good it was. But I didn't learn the song name of it. I've been looking for the song for 4 years. I just found it. Thanks WatchMojo.
Weirdness can have meaning, like you said, it should challenge the ideas and it can challenge them through weird images/sounds and bring you a deep meaning behind it. For example, Tool's song Aenima, is about learning to swim so you won't drown in all the tears you will cry out in your life. And they deliver that message in the weirdest and most amazing way.
so if something challenges set beliefs and ideas then it shouldn't have meaning??? you confuse me sir.... being weird just to be weird is the kind of weirdness that's boring... die antwoord has a lot of hidden meanings, tool has a ton of hidden meanings, every scene in paranoid android MEANS SOMETHING... so unconfuse me if you would...
Honestly, Pink Floyd's The Wall features plenty of strange and amazing animated music videos. I also think that The Cars have some strange music videos that are pure 80s gold.
Havent watched video, but TOOL better be on this list, those music videos freaked me out watching them :p lol I also would like to see as atleast honorable mentions KORN, GORILA, RAMNSTEIN & Rob Zombie.......
They could have simply filled this list with all hardcore bands. Most post hardcore and even death metal videos are both equal parts beautiful and disgusting.
Does tool deserve the reputation for their videos that are similiar which normally be credited to the adam, but the he is just imitating the style of videos that you would believe were made by adam as long as tool was playing. Honestly two dont even need the music. It must be difficult to be a creator of such a unique style, but the person known for it is seen is such high regard that a big piece of yourself isnt yours. I dont have any hate for adam he has been an inspiration in his own right along with the other members. I have always enjoyed tool, but imagine if someone had done the same with his playing technique when they were starting and assumed he was the copycat. I just think its a little sad.
I think I was 9 years old. I had fallen asleep in my room with the old living room TV that was now mine. I left it on Much Music and in the middle of the night and woke up to Tool "sober" followed by Marilyn Manson's Beautiful People. There was a show on and the hosts mixed up Marilyn Manson and Alice and chains and called it Marilyn in Chain and Alison Manson (as a joke - a small detail remmeber). Probably '96 or early '97. Needless to say, I was creeped out. It has inspired me 9 years later to make a bust of the lil' fella in the Tool video in High School art class that I still have to this day.
Someone asked me who has the weirdest music videos. It's either Marilyn Manson, Billie Eilish, Nirvana, blink182, or Green Day. I'm being honest here. Watch these vids: Sweet Dreams by Marilyn Manson What's My Age Again by Blink182 Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana Bad Guy by Billie Eilish Holiday by Green Day
*puts Radiohead on the list*
*show their most generic music video and song at the start*
k
They should have shown the video for there there
Or knives out that weird or weird fishes
Or even 2+2=5
Bjork better be on here, or people gon' die.
HELL TO THE YEEEEAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!
HELL TO THE NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Her videos are amazingly creative. I disagree with most of the list. It´s easy to be weird by being stupid and gross.
She's my favourite!
I love her, she is amazing and people don’t understand how much she is in control of everything she does. Genius.
Bjork her music is timeless
So was her music video, they should've put her on this list
@@liafansuri3327they did? did you not watch the video?
No death grips?
looking for this
I just posted that comment
Not fair to the rest
i think it's dumb they didnt include Death Grips but had Major Lazer. Death Grips have a unique, strange set of music videos because they're so one of a kind and creative, and i think that they are either on some weird combination of drugs or have a genuine mental illness in addition to their creativity, whereas Major Lazer are weird for the sake of being weird.
Oscar H or having a manic break down and crying into a camera... and the CRV back up camera POV for Double Helix
Nine Inch Nails
Marilyn Manson
Rammstein
The Prodigy
Tool
these better be here
Agreed
Tool is on here
And also Infant Annihilator.
Definitely NIN especially there broken album movie
Korn
Viewing to see if tool is here.
Disappointed.
apparently i am. didn't even notice the first watch through, also didn't read the description. mama dropped me one too many times i guess.
Same.
hell yeah, I'm surprised for seeing primus on the list
same.
God i love aphex twin
aphex is life
Jack Sheehan Afraid of Monsters DC OST
I don't understand it but it's really cool for some reason.
Eee dude, Afraid of Monsters DC
That video absolutely terrified me when I was younger
Tool and Primus deserve to be much higher.
And Rammstein and Death Grips should've at least been mentioned.
Maybe Nine Inch Nails should've been on the Top 10 but I'm still fine with them as an honorable mention.
And Radiohead and Marilyn Manson are deserving of their places too.
Myotic Tesseract your so right
@@poleless_poledancer luckily they didn't show Billie Eillish in this. 😂
Nah FUCK death grips
I knew Radiohead and Tool would be on here.
"Top 10 Musical Artists With the Weirdest Music Videos"
Literally any 90s alt rock music video ever.
KISS’ Psycho Circus: Hold my beer
I thought Tool would have been higher.
Same :/
they should've been at least top 3
Same
Same
I would put them at the top
No mention of The Prodigy?
They definitely should've been on the list
I know...their videos are definitely out there
10acious_D YES
Breathe made it on the scariest music videos, though.
@The Goth Formerly Known as Feli smack my bitch up was a masterpiece but yea unusual
Tool has absolutely the best videos. Very deep and dark too.
***** Oh, what is it... You got scared when you saw it?
dark and creepy but not so weird.
in Aphex Twin's case, the videos enhance the experience of the song, making it just more terrifying. Not that that's a bad thing, in fact it makes the music more immersive
MGMT's videos look like a mix between an LSD trip and a 9 year old getting a green screen for his birthday.
Yep. I thought I would see them as well. Oh well, they're still great.
Ah, Bjork goes absolutely even weirder after her Post Album, with those music videos for Homogenic and Vespertine
i know, i was sad when they only showed videos from debut & post.
Nirvana's Heart Shaped box was pretty fucking weird. They should have at least been an honorable mention.
Kosta Jovanovic They had plenty of other weird videos too. In, "In Bloom," they were all in dresses and throwing model planets at one another and sitting on each others shoulders and destroying the set etc.
yes it was pretty weird but it was also art
What and the stuff in this list wasn't?
watch another brick in the wall. its completely fucked
Rammstein should have gotten at least an honourable mention. When they do freaky music videos, they can back it up with similar bizarre live performances!
Giant fallos, lol
Amen to that, they should've been at No 1
I went to a Rammstein concert once. They busted out the flamey wings during Engel. It was awesome. :D
Dylan Clarke The flame thrower face masks for Freuer Frei are epic
Aw, yes! That was another good one. :D
Finally, Windowlicker sees about three seconds of coverage on a WatchMojo list.
Still waiting for it to get the recognition it deserves... :(
Aphex Twin makes #4
Die Antwort makes #3 and their song "Ugly Boy" literally plagerises "Ageispolis" by Aphex Twin
Sampling and plagiarism is not the same
Who clicked on the video knowing MM would be on this
Marylin Manson
KK Plac *Marilyn Manson
lol me
me
+Phantom Shadow OMG...Thanks for correcting me...Everybody must have been so confused...seriously smart ass?
I was expecting to see Rammstien on this list.
"Rammstein/Lindeman" did desire a place on the list or at least as an honourable mention.
Fucking Praise Abort would probably be one
Taijess Basnaw "Praise Abort" would be a good candidate but the video for "Fish On" would beat it in my opinion...
I agree
Yeah when they got to No.2 I was thinking well they at least have a honourable mention or number one I was very dissapointed :/
I saw come to daddy and had to watch this
MooSaidChicken iiiiiiiiiiii waaaannntt yoourrr soooooouuuuullllllll
Neo Amderspm iiiiii will eattt your soulllll
thistubeisfucked AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
MooSaidChicken I just got into Aphex Twin and I love it!
MooSaidChicken same
WOW Pond and DeMarco on Honorable Mentions!
I knew Björk, Aphex Twin, Die Antwoord, Tool and Manson would be in the list. But I think Dir en Grey would also be on the list.
Die Antwoord gets number three on every watchmojo list I've seen them in.
it's because they took a few months of Intro to German and they remember Drei is German for 3 but mistake it for the Germanic "Die".
@@arthas640 actually their name means the answer in their native language. DIE ANTWOORD is the answer in afrikaans
Wait wait wait
I was at number 2 going, "Where the fuck is Bjork?!"
Good job Watch Mojo.
Coulda added The Prodigy but I'll let it slide.
same
I was just thinking of her during the honorable mentions.
I knew somewhere she would be in the list and concluded she's no. 1 when #2 came
James Deal Same here, I'm glad she was number 1!!! 😃
I hope Björk is on here
good call
Drawde DiLaurentis She's on like every video I see I swaer
They didnt put "where is the line" video
Peter Gabriel should have at least gotten an honorable mention.
Should have been in the top 3! There is no list without him!!!
Oh, good call, indeed! And damnit Talking Heads should be on here, too!
As well as his sometimes collaborator Kate Bush.
Shit, that is so true. Maybe they'll make a separate list for pre 2000s videos?
Agreed.
Hey Bjork totally deserves to be No.1 :D
I was really expecting Tyler the creator, slipknot, and korn to at least make it to the honorable mentions
ikr
Jose Jacobo at LEAST Tyler!!!!
Especially Tyler..like Yonkers was nuts
same and at least ONE visual Kai band
Major Lazer is just weird for the sake of weird, whereas Tyler the creator, slipknot, and korn are all one of a kind
Aphex Twin has the best music videos. Hands down.
Flying Lotus, Tyler, the Creator, Death Grips
No LSD was hurt during filming these videos
The way Les Claypool says “steamy” in Jerry was a racecar driver should be enough on its own to make this list 😂
Ones I believe should have made the list:
The Residents
The Prodigy
Skinny Puppy
Dir En Grey
Rammstein
FKA Twiggs
Sevdaliza
Korn
System of a Down
FINALLY SOMEONE SAYING KORN oh my god xD
the prodigy!!! i remember the video for "Breathe"!
The white stripes
sevdaliza omg yes
if tool doesn't win I'm breaking my house
well I wish they were still higher up the list
So did you do it?
well they came in 7th, so I decided to just break my microwave and bathroom sink
Jeff Reed?!
Well at least you broke something haha
Buy you're right,Tool should have won
no Death Grips?
Right?
Yeah
too eezy
Guillotine!!!!!!!!
Liam Drage STAY NOIDED
Björk's weirdest ones like Where Is The Line or I Miss You weren't even shown.
That Aphex Twin thumbnail caught my attention.
Good list overall, I'd just quibble about the order (Tool and Aphex Twin higher, Manson lower) but Bjork is a worthy top spot for being the most consistently strange yet accessible.
Finally a good Watchmojo list. So happy to see Bjork at #1
finally, aphex twin is on a list.
Agent Snacks ha lol
Jade Sky give your meat a good ol' rub
Flying robot Pizza already have.
The Come to Daddy video was also featured on the lists for "Another Top 10 Most Controversial Music Videos" (as an honorable mention) and "Top 10 Most Terrifying Music Videos" (at #1)
where ma boi Filthy Frank at
Damn right, STFU was lit
Too damn filthy for this list mate.
There is nothing unusual in his videos to me
so mad he hasn't won a grammy yet.....
lets get some pussy toniiiight
The Residents. The Residents. THE FREAKIN' STINKIN' RESIDENTS!!!! They are the grandfather of all these bands. Didn't put them on here and did not put them on your "Weirdest Bands" list. How much research are you doing?
This is the comment I was looking for. The residents shoulda been number one.
The Thumbnail Give Me The Chills😨
If grimes isnt on this list i will never watch watchmojo again
OFishAS there great and on the list :)
welp, now watchmojo never has to watch you again
Boba Fett Jay C she. Grimes is one artist.
and its they're not there but she is so poppy
Or they could do another list!!!♡♡♡
11:47 seeing bjork live was incredible, her music and designs fit together beautifully
I think Aphex Twin should be higher on this list...
Waiting for primus
Update I found primus
Yeah buddy
Harrison Rogers Muh name is Mud
Same
Harrison Rogers Me Waiting on Ween
Man Thank you for recognizing Björk! She's such an awesome artist!
I remember one music video that was made with... um paper and in this song they were yelling 'hey!' or something
That was weird music video for me...
The important thing to remember is: BJORK IS THE BEST!
No. Tool.
Nirvana, Cage the Elephant, or Artic Monkeys should have at least been honorable mentions. "Heart-Shaped Box", "Come a Little Closer", "Do I wanna know". Anybody with me?
Come A Little Closer is art.
Pink Floyd with "Welcome to the Machine".
Hominis Ruina I think they judged this by multiple music videos : Aphex Twin, Björk, Die Antwoord
i want to know were is the residents
None of those are really that weird
So i just discovered that when you close your eyes you cant see.
Illuminati Confirmed
+MadMikeGaming Ha!
your'e doing it wrong then
Jack Reed Are you high
dja;isapowj'pojiwj[gih[ash[h[98HPiajh[fsi9a[gsj[g0r9jg[
Imo...
Tool and Aphex Twin should have been higher, Nine Inch Nails should have been on the list (not just honorable mention) and Rammstein should have at least got an honorable mention.
I’m a simple man. I see Aphex, I click
Surprised Dir en Grey wasn't on here.
Who is here for "come to daddy"?
Runner Johnny
I want your soul
IIII WANT YER SOUUUL
No creepy music list is complete without Marilyn Manson.
All the videos that shaped my brain in the 90s and 00s...I love this list
I guess Rammstein is considered mainstream and modest. Didn`t even make the list.
Idubbbz in thumbnail?
Nina M iiiiiiiiiii waaaaaaannnnnttt yyyyooooouuurrrr sssssooooouuulllll
They forgot:
- Rammstein.
- Death Grips.
- The White Stripes.
- The Prodigy.
Prodigy’s videos are hardly weird
Thought yall were going to leave out Björk for a minute, and I was going to have to tell you all off, but nope! You did me proud! At the #1 spot right where she belongs! Kudos!!
The first time I saw the video for Tennis Court, I loved how minimalist yet fitting and good it was. But I didn't learn the song name of it.
I've been looking for the song for 4 years.
I just found it. Thanks WatchMojo.
I nearly threw my laptop across the room when you chose not to put Death Grips on here.
TOOL should have been higher, they are not only brilliant but their weirdness actually has a lot of meaning behind it.
If "weirdness" has a meaning to it, then it's not weird. Weirdness should challenge your ideas and beliefs, not conform to them.
Weirdness can have meaning, like you said, it should challenge the ideas and it can challenge them through weird images/sounds and bring you a deep meaning behind it. For example, Tool's song Aenima, is about learning to swim so you won't drown in all the tears you will cry out in your life. And they deliver that message in the weirdest and most amazing way.
so if something challenges set beliefs and ideas then it shouldn't have meaning??? you confuse me sir.... being weird just to be weird is the kind of weirdness that's boring... die antwoord has a lot of hidden meanings, tool has a ton of hidden meanings, every scene in paranoid android MEANS SOMETHING... so unconfuse me if you would...
Melanie Martinez and Lady Gaga should be here!
yea
Melanie tries to hard to be unique and it just comes out really cringy and awkward.
+Faked Futret ikr
No
To be fair, Gaga's videos are pretty fucking weird, but if Tool makes a spot that low, you're in for some strange shit.
Bjork better be on here
Hell yeah!
+Secretstarz7 lol I know, number 1! Didn't expect het at the very top, but at least quite up there.
(other artists with weird/cool music videos): Arca, Aisha Devi, ANOHNI, Basement Jaxx, Chemical Brothers, Gorillaz, SBTRKT, ABRA, Sevdaliza, Grace Jones, Death Grips, Sleep Party People, Soft Hair, FKA Twigs...
Honestly, Pink Floyd's The Wall features plenty of strange and amazing animated music videos. I also think that The Cars have some strange music videos that are pure 80s gold.
You forgot System Of A Down
panic at the disco??? don't threaten me with a good time,LA devotee??
gay
emperors new clothes. build God then we'll talk lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off. those were weird
where are their music videos weird?
H Spencer I know right....they should be on the list
Lars Rau tentacle porn? Isn't THAT weird????
I am so glad bjork was number one, I would have been disappointed if she was anything lower
heh heh well I actually did not expect bjork to make it that high
I would add some of The Prodigy, Dillon Francis, Getter, Kill the Noise and Peter Gabriel videos too
I'm glad to see Rubber Johnny on the list... I was about to leave a comment if it wasn't there. Great list!
Havent watched video, but TOOL better be on this list, those music videos freaked me out watching them :p lol I also would like to see as atleast honorable mentions KORN, GORILA, RAMNSTEIN & Rob Zombie.......
KIND OF THOUGH TOOL WOULD BE HIGHER UP.............. :P LOL
OMG.... yo that Aphex band is messed :p lol I aint watching them ever :p lol screw that
SuperDan 1989 iiiiiiiii wwwwwwaaaaaannnnnnttttt yyyyooooouuuurrrr sssssoooouuuuullll (I'm replying this on every Aphex Twin comment)
If ur putting Björk in number 1, please update Mojo! She has created new surreal videos such as: mouth mantra, not get or coccon
They could have simply filled this list with all hardcore bands. Most post hardcore and even death metal videos are both equal parts beautiful and disgusting.
or visual kai bands, which very on music genre
Infant Annihilator
The music video to Dir En Grey’s ‘Obscure’ blows all of these guys out of the water. It’s a shame they didn’t get mentioned on this list
One of my favorite Bjork videos was I Miss You, a video with Ren and Stimpy style to it.
That's because the creator actually animated it.
dont know how Manson got #2 while aphex twin was #4?? Where was Rammstein on this list??
Maybe it's just me, but when compared to the other artists, it seems the Manson videos just tried too hard.
Jeremy C... Correct. He is/was classified as a shock rocker so perhaps it takes that much more effort.
I can't belive that Aphex Twin is only on 4th pick
Tool is only #7? Lol okay, WatchMojo. They should be #1, honestly.
No Nirvana? Specifically, Heart-Shaped Box?
bjorks videos are such an enhancing experience for the songs couldnt agree more
So here's my issue.
You said Tool has weird music videos, and I totally agree. But I believe if you truly wanted to sell it, show Vicarious
Does tool deserve the reputation for their videos that are similiar which normally be credited to the adam, but the he is just imitating the style of videos that you would believe were made by adam as long as tool was playing. Honestly two dont even need the music. It must be difficult to be a creator of such a unique style, but the person known for it is seen is such high regard that a big piece of yourself isnt yours. I dont have any hate for adam he has been an inspiration in his own right along with the other members. I have always enjoyed tool, but imagine if someone had done the same with his playing technique when they were starting and assumed he was the copycat. I just think its a little sad.
Grimes 😍😍😍
Grimes suck
red hot chili peppers should be on here, watch the “can’t stop” music video
Yess BJORK ..❤❤ THANKS WATCHMOJO 👑👑
Gotta love seeing Prmus on any list.
Primus sucks
NO KORN!?!?!?
I'm surprised that the Red Hot Chili Peppers didn't get at least an honorable mention.
can't stop gives some wtf vibes too tbh
wuppieigor yeah true i forgot about that one
Where is mushroomhead and Mr bungle and slipknot and dir en grey
And rammstein
came for primus, stayed for more primus
I think I was 9 years old. I had fallen asleep in my room with the old living room TV that was now mine. I left it on Much Music and in the middle of the night and woke up to Tool "sober" followed by Marilyn Manson's Beautiful People. There was a show on and the hosts mixed up Marilyn Manson and Alice and chains and called it Marilyn in Chain and Alison Manson (as a joke - a small detail remmeber). Probably '96 or early '97. Needless to say, I was creeped out. It has inspired me 9 years later to make a bust of the lil' fella in the Tool video in High School art class that I still have to this day.
Someone asked me who has the weirdest music videos. It's either Marilyn Manson, Billie Eilish, Nirvana, blink182, or Green Day. I'm being honest here. Watch these vids:
Sweet Dreams by Marilyn Manson
What's My Age Again by Blink182
Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana
Bad Guy by Billie Eilish
Holiday by Green Day
Shruggi how about some of the beatles or caravan palace or pink floyd
@The Womfox Mmm... the Beatles and Pink Floyd definitely have their weird moments, but they wouldn’t compare to these videos listed.
I knew primus would be on here :) but where is fever the ghost?
The Residents should've been on here lol
Tyler the Creator? Apparently eating cockroaches isn't weird enough....
imagine how much weirder Radiohead's videos would be considered if Gastón Viña's were considered canonic
