Iconic Music Videos That Defined The Past Few Decades

“Sabotage” by The Beastie Boys (1994)

Yet another Spike Jonze production. “Sabotage” is by far the best video The Beastie Boys have ever created. The video is an homage to and parody of 1970s crime dramas-slash-police procedurals like Hawaii Five-O and S.W.A.T., presented as the opening credits of a nonexistent show titled Sabotage. Each band member is introduced as a fictional actor with a fake name.
