In the Alternative Rock genre, Radiohead is said to be one of the most influential british bands of the 1990's. Originally not finding much success at first, they gradually gained attention due to overseas radio station's that developed across the United States. Most of the british media were rather negative, the BBC even blacklisting the song 'Creep' for being too depressing. The bands early style had been compared to the grunge wave that had been popularised in the 1990's thanks to bands like Nirvana. It would take much longer for Radiohead to reach the same critical acclaim in the Uk. At the time Brit-pop was a rather popualr genre, amongst others and the market was difficult for achievement. They soon challeneged this with releasing The Bends in 1995 which gave them a number one album in the UK. Radiohead have been credited with being influential by still being pretty famous and selling records today. I believe that they have a great display of music vidoes that are creative and imaginative, that will be easy to evaluate.

This is a decent videos because its surreal and its not too hard to create similar themes so it would be interesting indeed. Also you don't have to have a big budget for stuff to look effective like that. The angles used to portray the band singing are also different than a normal music vidoes. They use conventional camera techniques, rather than having thousand s of face shots of the band which would be the normal thing to do.

Experimenting with the camera speed and overcranking (other way rachael!) and being creative with different perspectives of the same footage. Again camera angles used within the music video are a lot more surreal than a usual music video.
For example a 'normal' shot would possibly be:
