YAWA'S Videos That Changed (My) Earth: Top 5

Well, this one was a toughie to place.

Top 5:
5. Daft Punk: Around the World
4. Naughty By Nature: Hip Hop Hooray
3. System Of a Down: Chop Suey!

System of a Down has long been blown off and relegated to the band dumping ground known as "Nu-Metal". They have been maligned for their attempts at having a social and political conscience and slammed for their lack of origianlity with the whole Mesmerize/Hypnotize fiasco. They are now on haitus and lead singer Serj Tankian is making terrible solo music.

Yet what they did for metal, and music in general, on the landmark album Toxicity was incomprable.
Every song on it was, and is, a metal classic.
But what topped them all, especially for me at the tender age of 12, was the barnstormer of a single: "Chop Suey!" It was like my brain hit a gigantic brick wall of awesome. It was anti-everything-I-had-ever-learned. IT WAS LOUD.

And the video was, well lets just say "IT WAS".
I remember driving to Colorado to go skiing with another family and my friend had the video (which he had gotten off KAAZA) on his computer. I swear to God we watched that thing about a bazillion gazillion times on that 14 hour drive. No exaggeration. I had every movement they did memorized. I think we did an choregraphed impersonation of it in our hotel room too. I love this song, and that is why...
...without further ado:




I cry...when angels deserve to die...
