*wanted to add fickle cycle and lake damage to this list as well but seeing as they were never officially released on anything but the grass DVD - i feel like they might not be considered official videos by the band's standards. if either of these are your favorite then please select the grass option.

"My Girls" followed by "Who Could Win a Rabbit".

Everything else ranges from adequate to middling to atrocious.

Load of bullshit... The ONLY reason wcwar is first is because it was listed first... Dumb preteens are just voting for first on list... everyone else is just copycat voting.

5.5 reasons why WCWaR is the best:

1. Short and sweet
2. The whole band is in it
3. Awesome costumes and setting
4. Simple and identifiable plot
5. Cool textures and visuals
5.5. Silly as fuck


Edit: I'm going to submit this list to buzzfeed

WCWAR is my fav because when I was like 13 -14 yrs old and first getting into AC the part at the end genuinely freaked me out, which just kinda added to their general mystique at the time. Like, I think a lot of my most favorite bands initially kinda intimidated me or left me feeling generally perplexed on first listen.

see grass spoiler in my original post

i feel like fickle cycle & lake damage were never officially released to the public 'cept through the grass DVD

i love all 3 and would be happy to include in this poll if there was an official upload of those 2 videos


interesting that no one has picked in the flowers yet
thought there would be at least one mega abby fan

also i made the poll to where you could change your answer if ya needed to
sometimes favorites change

This is a cool thread I hadn't seen a few of these before, including In The Flowers. I was wondering who directed that, it reminded me of the skate vids made by Alien Workshop. Alien Workshop coincidentally used In The Flowers in one of their vids

So what exactly is behind all the pixels in Water Curses? I've never quite made it out what it was

fwiw, the Golden Gal youtube doesn't say (Official Video) at the end of the title like all their other videos. I suspect it was meant more as just an animation to go along w the single release (I could be wrong though). That being said, I think that out of all the songs on the album GG would be possibly the best choice for a more narrative-style video, the lyrics have a lot to build off of as others have mentioned. So in that way it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity, although I did really enjoy staring at that animation while stoned last night
