Iconic Music Videos That Defined The Past Few Decades

“Daydreaming” by Radiohead (2016)

Paul Thomas Anderson was the mastermind behind the music video for “Daydreaming”, and it definitely shows. Thom Yorke walks through 23 doors, each of which are speculated to represent the 23 years he spent with the mother of his children before their separation, or the 23 years Radiohead had been releasing music at the time. Regardless, Yorke’s journey is mesmerizing; there’s a vague Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) vibe going on, for sure.
