Most of my favorites are already mentioned, and as such I'll recommend Starship Velociraptor.

Jackson Wang- Come Alive
Beautifully choreographed dances, has dark and sinister vibe, beautifully shot and performed, and well edited. Totally worth checking it out
Jeff Satur- Fade (Thai Ver.)
Beautifully shot. Old-timey, soft aesthetic. Has a melancholic, sad vibe. A song about heartbreak and love. Also worth listening! (This was the song that got me thru my lowest time)
Knights of Cydonia by Muse made me reconsider my assumptions on how good the production quality of a music video can be. Honestly, a better plot than Cowboys Versus Aliens.
Devo. Whip it. Aha. Take on me. Bugles. Video killed the radio star. Eddie Money. Take me home tonight.
Apparitions by Matthew Good Band will always be my favourite.
The band features as background for an after hours story in a skyscraper. Matt Good is the night janitor doing his rounds. A rich old white guy (I assume CEO or something) is at his desk, stressed. A prostitute arrives and gets access to the building, the security guard smirking.
Fast forward to her starting to undress and the CEO guy pulls a gun from his desk and shoots himself in the head. The prostitute runs away in a panic.
The video ends with a fade out showing the prostitute on the elevator security footage freaking the fuck out. The security guard and janitor are left gaping, unsure what to do.
I don't listen to this band much but I'm quite partial to Siamés - the Wolf. The animation, limited color palette, and the music all together feel very satisfying.
So many to choose from.

When Ed Sheeran and Andrea Bocelli did their video for Perfect
So Far. The whole movie, but particularly Uncle John's > Playing and Space > Throwing Stones > NFA.
Don't know if it counts since it's not their music video, but CDK's choreography to Goyte's 'Somebody That I Used To Know is amazing (something different to watch every time you play it through) and outshines the official music video.
OK Go have some good videos too, like Here It Goes Again or I Won't Let You Down.
I also find WORLD ORDER "Have a nice day" strangely mesmerising.
Oh, and if you like the CDK choreograhy, but this 'yeah, it's good but they cheat with all those cuts', here's the live version. Which is maybe even more impresssive.
Powder's ‘New Tribe’ with animation by AC-bu. They have a bunch of other videos in a more flat style, mostly for Japanese pop artists, and some ads: e.g. ‘Sushi Tabetai’.
Run Wrake's videos, the most psychedelic stuff ever put on video: e.g. Howie B's ‘Music for Babies’ and ‘She Called Again’, or Future Sound of London's ‘We Have Explosive’.
Funki Porcini's ‘Incredible Thing’, ‘How Banking Works’, ‘Conservative Apocalypse’.
Music made to existing videos: Spastic Ink's ‘The Cereal Mouse’ and Blotted Science's ‘Cretaceous Chasm’.
Nadia Lee Cohen & Charlie Denis' video for AFX's ‘Korg Funk 5’.
Señor Coconut's ‘Tour de France’.
Almost anything by Michel Gondry, e.g. The Chemical Brothers's ‘Let Forever Be’; but also his early stuff like Oui-Oiu's ‘Bolide’ (in which band he also played drums).
And of course, Nekrogoblikon's ‘No One Survives’.
"Duquesne Whistle" by Bob Dylan. It's funny as hell and is it's own little movie within the song. Plus, it's a catchy tune.
