I had to kick off this otherwise unordered list with the all-time geekiest song, Mr. Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me With Science," a comic video that started the whole ball rolling.

The Beastie Boys, nerdy at heart, do battle with a giant boxy robot over Tokyo. Exactly.

Michael Jackson's bizarre stop-motion video from that period after he was huge but before he was really really creepy.

Speaking of Spike, here's an overly elaborate video of a smooth song. How'd they do that? ACTING! No, wait, SHOOTING IN REVERSE WITH NO CUTS!

Before he became a Hobbit, Peter Gabriel was a video pioneer, experimenting with a lot of at times kinky stop-motion photography. "Sledgehammer" is the epitome of the style.
