OK Go: Awesome, or Super Awesome?

[mauve]

I've been on an OK Go kick lately.

For those not in the know, OK Go is a band that gained stardom by doing clever music videos for themselves over youtube, and now have a much larger budget and more creative assistance for even more awesome videos.

The music videos are awesome:

One of their most famous videos, Here It Goes Again. Treadmills ahoy!

One of the most elaborate, This Too Shall Pass, in which they recruit the engineering department of a university to build them a little Rube Goldberg machine.

Same song, different video. This time with HOLY COW SUDDENLY MARCHING BAND OUT OF NOWHERE!

One of their earliest, A Million Ways. Who thought a bunch of dudes dancing in someone's backyard could be so awesome?

White Knuckles is a fantastically choreographed video that's--OHMYGOSHPUPPIES

End Love, which sounds really disco but is somehow also really good. Stop-motion animated glory. Also a bird.

Recently Disney/Jim Henson Company hired them to do a Muppets Theme Song music video, but it's really not as good as their independent stuff. I'm gonna blame Disney.

Their music that DIDN'T get made into fabulous videos is also pretty awesome, especially In The Glass and Before The Earth Was Round, but I'll spare you six billion more links here.


So. Yeah. Discuss, I guess. Chat amongst yourselves about how you'll never be as awesome as these individuals. Or, I guess, how OK Go is overrated and not all its cracked up to be, if you want. I don't know WHY you'd want to, because you'd be wrong, probably, but you're entitled to your own horrible opinion.
