As the decade draws to a close, the J-14 staff reflects back on our favorite music video of the decade:
"Weapon of Choice" by Fatboy Slim
"Not only did this win video of the year at the VMAs, but come on -- Christopher Walken dancing?! Pure brilliance." -- Associate Editor Kim Messina
"Single Ladies" by Beyoncé
"Not for Kanye West since he didn't let Taylor Swift finish... but because Joe Jonas spoofed it. No, seriously, it's just a great song and a simple but great video." -- Assistant Editor Emily Krauser
"Here It Goes Again" by OK Go
"It was the first viral music video when YouTube first became big!" -- Assistant Art Director Erik Jacobsen
"Hey Ya!" by Outkast
"This video is just so fun and entertaining, and it's a song that everyone still loves to bop their heads to!" -- Photo Assistant Katelyn Mullen
"Wake Me Up When September Ends" by Green Day
"This movie-like video completely upped the bar on music videos. The love story is so poignant (dare I say it rivals Edward and Bella?!) and the tragedy so heart-wrenching." -- Editor-in-Chief Rachel Chang
"You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift (Featured)
"Yo Kanye, I'm really happy for you. I'm gonna let you finish, but Taylor had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!" -- Photo Director Danielle Kepler
"I'm a Slave 4 U" by Britney Spears
"For me, this is one of the most captivating dance videos. More is always more when it comes to BritBrit! I definitely still remember all of the dance moves to the chorus of this song!" -- Editorial Assistant Lisa Raphael
