INXS - 'Everything' (1997)
Produced by Simon Askew
Although this video is a bit of an older one, it is still one of my favourites. I think that it brilliantly executes simplicity in a music video while at the same time provoking the energy and excitement of seeing a band like INXS live.
The band are so natural in this video. A simple, powerful 'live performance' style video, that makes you want to take part in the experience. It highlights the band and the song. Notice the lack of flashy lights and half naked girls shaking their booties in front of the camera. There is no need for smoke and mirrors, it is INXS at their best.

You can tell the guys and the fans enjoyed making it and I think that is exactly how a music video should be done.
With all the music videos floating around in the media and on the net, it is getting increasingly difficult to find any with substance. There are far too many bells and whistles distracting from the real point of a music video...to compliment the song. I do not own any of the music videos included in this blog. This is an artistic critique only, no copyright infringement intended.
