If you see any official music videos you'd like to pimp (not fan made ones), please post them here.
Here's Niji by Aqua Timez to start off.

A long, long time ago Cugami pimped Glay to her friends. Most of them realized Glay was actually a pretty good (sometimes rock) band. Anyway, here's their latest single.

OMG that video rocked. One of the best and most well-known videos on the interwebs. Everybody has to watch that.

Video was like a lesson on how to shoot quality music videos on a budger
Song was great. I think RR has similar tastes in music to a certain extent.
Here's a 70's inspired vid by an all-girl j-rock band called the noodles. The song is entitled "Grease", from their "Metropolis" album released late last year.

Muse - Time is Running Out
One of the best songs from the past few years. The video has a pretty sharp message if you can figure it out.

Here's the popular video mod collaboration between MTV2 and NCSoft, featuring characters from the MMO Lineage 2 performing to the Killer's song, Mr. Brightside. Yes, it is an official video.

The most expensive music video ever made (cost $7,000,000 to produce in 1995, dunno if its been adjusted for inflation):
Michael Jackson (feat Janet Jackson) - Scream:

And prolly the cheapest official music video ever made (One light bulb, with 2 color plastic, or 2 light bulbs tops... but the music sounds damn good):
The Wildhearts - Red Light Green Light:

Garnet Crow - 風と (kaze to) RAINBOW
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/g1v59yjViq8&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/g1v59yjViq8&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
Garnet Crow has strange band composition. One vocalist, two keyboardists and a guitarist. Also, Nakamura Yuri (vocals) and Azuki Nana (keyboards) are pretty cute too.
Here's "I just don't know what to do with myself" by the White Stripes. It's a really good song and another sample of music videos on a budget. Sort of.
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zS5fkPFUskQ&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zS5fkPFUskQ&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
Kate Moss + underwear + pole = profit!
(you don't even need color film!)
Garnet Crow's pretty interesting. What do they use to make up for the lack of percussions? Keyboard effects?
Some of my staples...
