25 Best Music Videos: 17


17. Enter Sandman

Metallica

Anyways, lords of thrash Metallica hit the mainstream hard with this song, as I'm sure you know. The dark melodic tune devoted to nightmares delivered the band to MTVs attention and the video helped.

A seizure-inducing horror story, the video for "Enter Sandman" regards a young boy, haunted by nightmares and the Sandman, a wrinkly old man that still haunts me sometimes. Dude's creepy, y'know?

My main concern with embedding this video is that the audio lag ruins the best part of the video. In the end, when the music begins dying down, the boy wakes up in the middle of the street with a TRUCK BARRELING DOWN TOWARDS HIS ASS. When the truck hits the boy's bed, James Hetfield comes in with a big BOOM and the music starts up again until the end.
