Iconic Music Videos That Defined The Past Few Decades

“Welcome to the Black Parade” by My Chemical Romance (2006)

The piano riff at the beginning… you know what’s about to happen. A man in a hospital bed watches Gerard Way belting out the chorus on a black-and-white TV before he's led to the Black Parade by Death. A parade of masked figures follow the band as they drift through a wasteland on a float. It’s perfectly macabre, perfectly MCR, and perfectly 2006.
