We've all got our music videos that we put on while baked/tripping. So which do you find to be the trippiest?

My two are; Radiohead: Paranoid Android, and The Mars Volta: The Widow
 
I've always loved Go With the Flow by Queens of the Stone Age. The first time I saw it I was tripping on LSD watching it on a projector screen. The end just totally blew my mind and now it always makes me happy.

Sleepwalker by Parkway Drive is good too.

The Golden Age and Around The Bend from The Asteroids Galaxy Tour!!

Trippiest music videos!! =D
 
The Blockhead and Birdy Nam Nam videos are probably the trippiest I know of, but this one's pretty new and extremely trippy:

"Mmmhmm" by Flying Lotus: (insert coherent explanation here)

Here are some lesser-known old school videos that are pretty incredible to watch psychedelicized:

"More": Oscar-nominated short uses New Order's Elegia to tell a stop motion tragedy through a pair of really rose-tinted goggles.

"Planet Caravan": Pantera's cover of the Black Sabbath classic and an artistic rendition of panspermia theory. It uses 90s CGI but it's still effective.

The Squirrel Nut Zippers, "The Ghost of Stephen Foster": Betty Boop goes to Hotel Hell.

Jimmy Scott's "Sycamore Tress": This is actually from the Twin Peaks episode "Path to the Black Lodge," but it's basically a short music video, and stands on its own as a bit of dark surreal what the fuckery.

Window Licker is just weird, I wouldn't even call it trippy. Maybe just fucked up.

^ That flying lotus one is pretty trippy. I like it a lot.
 
For those who haven't played with it yet, Radiohead's House of Cards is both a video and a trip toy. You can rotate Thom Yorke's 3D model head as it sings and switch perspectives, among other trippy things. It takes a little while to load depending on your connection speed.

Here are my favorite videos to watch while stoned. I've watched a few of them while tripping and they were pretty sweet, but I wouldn't designate them all as "trippy" in the psychedelic sense.

Tool – Porabola
Garbage – Push It
Avenged Sevenfold – A little Piece of Heaven
The Chemical Brothers – Let forever be
Mars Volta – Televators
Red hot chili peppers – zephyr song, Californication
Smashing pumpkins – cherub rock
Soundgarden – black hole sun
Dream Theater – Forsaken
Pearl Jam – Do the Evolution
Disturbed – Land of Confusion
Foo Fighters – DOA, Everlong
Incubus – Drive, Summer Romance, Megalomaniac
Nine Inch Nails – Head like a Hole, Closer
Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
Marilyn Manson – Sweet Dreams, Beautiful People
Grateful Dead - Touch of Grey
Linkin Park - Breaking the Habit
Tom Petty - Don't Come Around Here No More


I LOVE music videos. My favorite thing to watch while smoking and/or chilling. I will add more later. Those were some crazy vids you guys have posted. Keep em coming!

Also, Pink Floyd:Live in Pompeii has some trippy visuals. It's like one giant music video! Same with The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour. A lot of those 60s bands made trippy video companions to their music.
 
^This, Live At Pompeii is very psychedelic, "Careful With That Axe, Eugene" is ideal for peaking on LSD. The Wall film is the same way, a music video for the whole album, trippiest parts, in my opinion, are "Empty Spaces/What Shall We Do Now?", "Comfortably Numb" and "Another Brick In The Wall, Part II" The music video for "Welcome To The Machine" also scares the shit out of me.

I've always thought of Yellow Submarine and Magical Mystery Tour as really long music videos as well, Yellow Submarine is amazing on pretty much anything.

More traditional music videos:

Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight
The White Stripes - Fell In Love With a Girl
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication
Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Zephyr Song
Queens of The Stone Age - Feel Good Hit of The Summer
Queens of The Stone Age - Go With The Flow
Radiohead - No Surprises
Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees
Radiohead - Paranoid Android

many, many more
