Reverend Jax Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 (edited) If I had to pick the one rock band that consistantly put out great video after great video, it would have to be the Foos. There are 12 videos, so I left out The One and Monkey Wrench. It wasn't an easy choice, but I figured those were the least likely to be anyone's most favorite. If it is, I think I can change the poll. Not include on the poll: Edited February 27, 2003 by Jack's Meandering Thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Went for Learn to Fly, mainly because the winking scene between the pilot and the air steward is the funniest thing since sliced bread. Not to mention Jack Black's cameo. Breakout comes a close second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted February 27, 2003 Author Share Posted February 27, 2003 I figure most people will vote for Learn To Fly or Everlong. They are the pretty damn funny. So is Big Me, but it's not the favorite the other two are. Monkey Wrench is my favorite Foos song, I just wish it had a better video. Sliced bread is funny?

The NZA Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Havnet seen most of em, voted for "Learning to Fly". Has anyone else heard that song on acoustic? Its nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Can't say I have. Everlong is kickass acoustic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Snake Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Dude, remember that CD I gave you in Sheffield, it's got a full Foos acoustic set bootleg (amongst a shitload of other things), check it out! I have to vote for Everlong, kickass song, kickass acoustic, kickass video! My next favorites'd be Big Me and Learn to Fly, but Everlong gets it for the surreal shit, giant phones, the legs/logs dream bit, the nunchucks!

Reverend Jax Posted February 27, 2003 Author Share Posted February 27, 2003 Everlong is awesome it for the idea of being able to call someone on the phone from your dreams, and how characters can go from one dream to another. I still haven't decided which to vote for. Evrlong is obviously up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 My vote goes to everlong too, it's classic stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLeakyBucket Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Hehe, hey KoS, don't worry I hadn't forgotten altho I haven't explored that CD in a while. Have to have another stint... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted February 27, 2003 Author Share Posted February 27, 2003 I'll Stick Around was teh only video I hadn't seen of these when I mad ethe poll, just saw it and it was kinda weak. The One was better, so I'm editing it so that the first choice will be The One. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldier of fortune Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 Went for Everlong, just love the evil dead references, and the big hand! Learn to fly is also good, and Breakout. Personally think the last couple have been poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 for my favorite video, i chose breakout just cause it was a kickass song and kickass video... my favorite song though has to be the acoustic everlong... can't get any greater than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deacon Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 The only one I aint seen is My Hero but im going for Big Me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted March 27, 2003 Author Share Posted March 27, 2003 The one for my hero is actually kinda cool. Not their best but among the better half of them. I'm glad someone voted for Big Me. That's classic Foo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 going with the trend a little bit, but i gotta give everlong some loving..... Love the song somethin fierce and the video totally disregards how meaningful the song is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jont Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 going with the trend a little bit, but i gotta give everlong some loving..... Love the song somethin fierce and the video totally disregards how meaningful the song is I don't know if it disregards it completely, if you watch the director Michele Gondry's DVD, he reveals that the video was quite personal to him, drawing on his childhood dreams. Things don't have to be Poe-faced to be poignant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 i was unaware to that fact, mostly because ive only ever seen the video at face value, downloaded at that... but i just thought, like most other foo fighter videos....

MetalHeart Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Mmmmm Gondry.... I really can't wait to see The Science of Sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deacon Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Everlong is best. The Evil Dead references win it for me. Gondry sure likes his sleep related narratives. And yes everyone does need the Michel Gondry DVD and the Spike Jonze. The others aren't great.. I bought Antoin Corbin's and was subjected to some of the worst videos ever.

I want the Chris Cunningham DVD, but it's doesn't quite seem value for money, whereas Gondry has enough new and rarer old material to fill another one.
