Two videos, one rock, one hip-hop. Both hold value to me as songs alone, but the video makes them way more powerful.
Pearl Jam - Do The Evolution
http://www.youtube...atch?v=aDaOgu2CQtIThe animation here is just incredible, they've accomplished things that could never be done with a video camera. The tense feel of the song translates to the video perfectly.
Jedi Mind Tricks ft. R.A. The Rugged Man - Uncommon Valor
http://www.youtube...atch?v=kGZsGX3B_BYI have to give a bit of a backstory to help explain why this video is so powerful to me. R.A. The Rugged Man, who raps for most of the song is telling the story of his father's experience in the Vietnam War, and the consequences of his exposure to agent orange. The photos shown later in the video are of his brothers and sisters, all severely affected by birth defects caused by agent orange.
