One of the best? I'm not a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan (I like a few of their songs at most), but in my mind this is the best music video ever made.

Sure, there may be better ones, but I sure as hell wouldn't know it. MTV long ago gave up the "Music" in their title and have since substituted it with stupid programs like "Please God, kill this stuck up 16 year-old ass" (otherwise known as Sweet Sixteen I think).

"Zero" is my all-time fav Pumkins tune, but yes, this video is very well done.

and I too, miss the days of music on MTV!

A sublime piece of work, thanks for posting Raven (but for me the all-time *Greatest* music vid is Daft Punk's 'Around The World').

...the directors of this promo also made Little Miss Sunshine, a movie which i have yet to see (my girlfriend saw it without me)

You are better off for that bamdrew-
beautifully done-still can't get over the frontman's persona-Crowleyesque, Brando in Apocalypse Now-

Looks as if they took their low-tech, special effects flavour, from the silent film, "First men in the Moon" (think its called), the one with the rocket hitting the stylized moon in his eyeball.
