Oh I forgot, I also really like the video to the love of richard nixon for all the weird graphic-y bits. It's a bit like watching a waterfall.

Have to go with the one i thought of straight away; that being Tolerate. Its just so crammed full of sybolism and emotion...(oh who am i kidding...they all look flipping gorgeous in it)

Seriously though; wicked vid.

Damn the person who said James looks like Kenny Everett in ME!! Because he totally does - it always kind of bothered me that he doesn't really look like himself in it, and now I know why. Grrr!

However, he looks exceptional in Revol (they all do actually, except that Nicky reminds me vaguely of Nicholas Lyndhurst in it - just to traumatise the Nicky lovers too) and I have a real soft spot for La Tristessa as well. I think it's one of the rare cases where band playing/random people doing stuff works well, because the connection to the song is quite strong.

Everything Must Go. I like the song and I think the video fits it, can't really put my finger on exactly why.

Tolerate, You Stole The Sun and Revol for me....the bit at the start of the latter, where the plane flies over the mountains is mega.

Oh, and There By The Grace Of God too.

I agree - for shallow reasons too

I also like So Why So Sad and There By The Grace of God, that latter because James looks fantastic in it (oops shallow again ) Oh and when the subject of James looking great, Little Baby Nothing has to get a mention too.

For less shallow reasons, Tolerate is probably the most interesting video that they have done.

Agreed. Tolerate is just an immensely sexy video from a completely shallow point of view. And I love Richey's Bambi moment in Stay Beautiful - I even pointed it out to my friend the other day!

Also There By The Grace of God, partly because I like the concept and partly because James looks good in it. I also like the tone of the videos to Design For Life and Everything Must Go.

There are quite a few I like, really.
