Random Top 10 Lists (Music Videos)

This may be the first time it has come up here on this site, but I am a big music video fan. There is some really good work being done by filmmakers in music videos. So the nominees are out for the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards, and while the majority of stuff nominated is just window dressing for popular songs, there is some good stuff thrown in as well. I decided to compile my list of the top 10 music videos to ever win a video music award.
